Hockey Shirted

I don't want to talk about it, but let's just say that I'm glad I flaked and didn't buy that "wildcard" hat I posted about. Sigh.

Anyway...hockey!

So I've always liked the Bruins but I've never been too into hockey. The baseball season is so long, then it's the holidays, then it's oh-God-I-hate-winter-when-will-it-end, then it's spring training. But this year feels different. I'm going to throw myself into it and see what happens. And what would a new obsession be without apparel?

There are plenty of tops to choose from at the Bruins team store. I like this one for it's color and classic logo. You can buy it here. Go Bs!

Yin and Yang and Outfits

The idea behind the Yin and Yang is that when things are bad, there is a little good in them, and when things are good, there's a little bad in them. It means that there are no real absolutes and that things that are opposite are truly part of one another. I like to think of this when I make outfits.

Really.

Take for instance a floral patterned dress. On its own it may look too sweet. Pair it with punk inspired stud earrings and the dress feels more hip.

If you wear a t-shirt and ripped jeans you may look sloppy. But add a crisp blazer and the sloppy pieces are transformed.

Pearls want leather.

Lace craves combat boots.

Yin needs Yang.

Confucius says: Pink satin peep toes look best with those black side zip jeans.

The Sox are in the Playoffs!

Once again the Red Sox made the playoffs as the Wild Card. Shouldn't they just call it the Red Sox Card? This hat says it all:

I think I might need it. Get it here. Booze-soaked Wakefield not included.

Chanel-Je t'aime

Such an unusual and beautiful nail color:

Buy it here.

It's called Jade and it does make me think of the jade bracelets and rings you find in shops in Chinatown.

I've been wanting to go beyond the normal warm tone nail polish and this is a great way to do it without just going to black.

Love.

Love. Love this watch.

Maine Inspiration

On Labor Day weekend Eric and I went up to York, Maine to get away. It was gorgeous.


This it the Nubble Lighthouse. I love the colors in this picture: Clear Blue, Khaki, Red. If we had come here in June instead of September, I think I would have worn nautical outfits all summer.

Chilly

It's September, time for more layers! One of my favorite looks is to take something masculine and give it a feminine twist. Like, wearing cargo pants with a lacy top. Here's a casual outfit I plan on living in this fall. It's a hooded sweatshirt (masculine) but in a blush pink and paired with a floral scarf.You could also play keep it going by adding a tweed blazer.

It's a nice girlie take on a look boys do. As always, click on the pictures to see them bigger.
