Hello Easter

by

flowers on the table

It’s mid-April already.

Somehow.

I feel like the past few months took a very long time, but not that much time has actually passed. For example, I got a haircut two months ago and was completely convinced it was more like four or five months ago. And it does feel like February and that haircut were four or five months ago, but of course, they weren’t.

A long winter, perhaps.

Seems like everything is beginning to even out into something spring-like. Maybe it’s time to wake up and put some pink ombre in my hair.

Somehow it has become summer here again. I had just become used to crisp mornings, but today the temperature climbed past 80 and is forecast to be even warmer tomorrow.

I have no fall photos yet, so here are my snapshots from the last days of summer.

What a serious heatwave we’ve been having lately… I hope you’ve been staying cool, hydrated, and safe from heatstroke. Lately I’ve been drinking an extra glass of water every day.

GEORGINE Fall 2016

Red Parka | GEORGINE Fall 2016

The GEORGINE Fall 2016 collection was influenced by fairy tales and the struggle between good and evil. Can you see it? There were plenty of playful looks, but my favorites were the darker, edgier ones. And if fur’s your thing, it was plush and gorgeous.

Look one was a fantastic opener. It’s a risk to do a red parka in a high-sheen fabric (I believe it’s silk satin), and this one was done so flawlessly. I never knew I wanted a red parka before.

Winter Details

winter outfit details - wearing a burberry wool trench coat, helmut lang leggings and a mansur gavriel mini bucket bag

I got this funny faux-fur charm as a Christmas gift and it’s been coming with me everywhere. It also made me remember how much I like tying square scarves onto my bags, so I brought a few of them out of storage.

The weather’s been so warm lately that I’ve decided to stop purchasing winter clothing for the rest of the season. I’m trying to be more mindful about the purchases I make this year, so I started a list of what I’m looking for.
