Black Winter Outerwear

by


Dear Nnenna,

I got these touch screen gloves for Christmas this year! This style seems to work better for me than the metallic thread ones, but the tips of my fingers do get cold after a while.


But! I can use my phone without the rest of my hands getting freezing and any more dried out than they already are. Cold weather is so harsh on my skin.

The rest of my outfit is pretty boring, although the coat’s new. Lined with Thinsulate so it’s really warm, but I got it in petite and that might have been a mistake. I think the shoulders have to be let out. I’m wearing the old scarf from Talbots again, J.Crew coat, Joe’s Jeans… jeans, MIA ankle boots, and Coach sunglasses and bag.

Python Print and Faux Shearling Again

by


Dear Kelsey,

So I’m totally running out of ways to wear this dress… any suggestions? I meant to wear it with red tights this time around but forgot to pack them.

Things have been rather quiet lately because I’ve been mildly sick. There are flowers still blooming in North Carolina and my allergies have been so bad since making the trip south. Good news, however, I think I’m beginning to feel better.

I’m wearing my Simply Vera Vera Wang jacket, H&M dress, Forever 21 belt, Betsey Johnson tights, and MIA ankle boots.

Night Photos on the Eve of the New Year

by

December 31, 2011
Dear Caitlin,

Happy New Year! Wishing you luck and prosperity :) I left it really late to get photos, and after two other locations I finally decided on this one. This light is so much harsher than I’m used to, but the flash was much worse. I like that these remind me of film photos, though. I did get my Instax for Christmas and I love it!

Hope you had a wonderful New Year’s Eve! I went to a concert… and was still overdressed, haha.

I’m wearing an Old Navy shirt, Gap skirt, Forever 21 belt, MIA ankle boots, Assets by Sara Blakely tights, and a ken + dana necklace.

The Lake

Dear Shen Dove,

The weather’s been really incredible lately! I only wore my jacket for about three seconds in the sun before I got too hot. It’s so nice to have this little bit of warmth in December. January and February are dreary months, especially in New York (the wind!).

I’m wearing my Simply Vera by Vera Wang for Kohl’s jacket, Ann Taylor shirt, Gap skirt, MIA shoes, and Coach bag.

The Casual Black Alexander Wang Suit

by


Dear Silvergirl,

This Alexander Wang ponte jacket and matching skirt are great pieces because they’re a little bit structured yet still very comfortable.

I was in a bit of a rush to get out the door, so I didn’t take many photos. I’ve been favoring a lot of minimalistic all black looks lately and softening them up with my curly hair. They’re more at home in New York than here amongst the trees, but I wear them anyway. I also walk around the neighborhood in my heels and people look at me oddly. Oh well. I won’t give them up, although I do wear my flat boots if I have to go any appreciable distance.

I’m carrying my Coach bag (as usual) and wearing my T by Alexander wang jacket and skirt, Laugh Cry Repeat by AZFN shirt, HUE tights, and MIA ankle boots.
