Good afternoon, friends. It's Thursday and I'm near done with a recent project for a great agency here in NYC and feeling sad to say goodbye to some great new friends, but also excited to make some new ones. Needless to say, the last few months have been busy but wonderful. I'm going to miss coming to Tribeca every day too. But moving on...
Cause it's almost Spring. It's already March, kids. MARCH. That's just cray.
And I've had my eyes peeled on some hot trends to spice up your Spring wardrobe, and work with many of your existing pieces. So without further adieu- here's a few:
Vintage bandanas- Yup. This one hasn't been around much in this decade but I'm loving the look of a vintage bandana (perhaps it's my recent jaunt in Texas) but it's such a cute way to wear a scarf yet still somehow seem rock and roll. I love it with a tee shirt or men's button down- very cute and attainable look. You can easily go to your local wherever and buy a new one and then wash it a million times to give it that perfect lived in vibe. Or if you're fancy, go buy one at Rag and Bone. Such a cute little sumthin sumthin to spice it all up.
Embellished army jackets- Listen you all know I am obsessed with army jackets. I have several. But I spotted this one in Saks by Madeworn the other day and almost melted. For obvious reasons. I want it real bad. I love love love the idea of an army jacket with custom patches- I shouted out MJ's version a while back for the holidays, but there's so many great ones in stores for Spring- at all price points. And you crafty types out there could very well make your own.
The Paper bag waist- Saw this great pant on Stella McCartney's runway and am obsessed. I have always loved this look and in a crisp khaki they look fantastic for Spring. They are flattering on most body types- I love them with a simple slim tee, a men's button down, or even something cropped. Adorable menswear look- great with sandals and very chic for Spring. Great in a skirt too or even shorts.
This one from Urban Outfitters is wonderful and fresh.
These Aeron pants are on sale right now on Garmentory. And if you're not on Garmentory yet, you're welcome. It's like a portal into every independent boutique in the universe. So good.
Off kilter button downs- We all bore witness to the onslaught of off the shoulder dresses last Summer, now I will testify that off the shoulder button down shirts will dominate Madison Avenue to Main Street this time around. Very cool twist on a classic piece. Love this one from Theory.
Block heeled MJs- Sure the mule is a huge story, but I saw these while in London at Topshop and fell hard for them. I love a red shoe, I love a patent shoe, I love you maryjane. How cute are these with everything from cropped, frayed jeans to all your fav little dresses? Lovely little addition to your shoe game. Big fan. I love the heel too- great height and easy to walk in.
And for the bonus item, let's do something completely insane and unattainable. An outsized Balenciaga bag- particularly this Arena leather Air Hobo above. Their bags are bananas right now- just spotted this giant hat box looking sucker and although it's cray, I love it. In fact, I'm loving all their bags this season. Bigger the better. A girl can dream.
And that's what's up this almost Spring kind of Thursday in the 212. Yours, in new beginnings, with style. XO
