Oh, hello Wednesday. I still have one eye shut right now because I am a bit overhung today...had a fun evening with friends- in what other city could you sip bespoke cocktails one hour and be playing table top shufleboard with a magician the next? G-d I love New York. But I hate alcohol. Blech.
So onward. With all of this warm weather, it's hard not to get stoked for Spring and the need for some fun pieces that you can't live without, and last Friday I posted about my craving for an army jacket that would not do battle with my budget. Needless to say, I found the perfect piece at the Gap- an awesome little fitted number with a great hood- in the photo the hood looks a bit femmed up, but it's not- it's a lovely sort of funnel detail that has me swooning- it's much cuter in person, and on.
I also found this amazing tote there for Spring that speaks to my need for a preppy bag all spring and summer long to tote summer reads, beach blankets, and anything else I may need on warm days. Though I am a perpetual fan of LL Bean bags for such needs, I do adore this Gap bag- it's chic, classic, and well priced. I must get one, and I'm taking off the shoulder strap to make it more streamlined.
But wait there's more over at the Gap. This striped tee for instance- perfect with the above mentioned army jacket and very cute with white jeans or black cropped pants (you will never hear me reference capris, ps) or shorts. I would also love this tee with something dressed up on the bottom- thinking a satin pouf skirt to the knee, a classic pencil, or a floor length, sheer chiffonish number. Could be hot, non? I adore sailor inspired tees like this- can be worn to suit your individual style whether you are preppy, hippy, or anything in between. I'm feeling stripes at home these days too, but more of the Paul Smith colorful variety. I need a rug like that...
So if you're feeling the need for some spring in your closet, get thee to the Gap. You already know I'm a superfan of the brand and happy to see they've got some fun basics for the warmer months. Love...just goes to show that fashion is accessible to all, and chic does not mean expensive these days- ps the countdown begins to Jason Wu madness at Target. Practice your best push and shove if you are going to try to secure some pieces in store or work on your clicking finger for that online get. Hope you are enjoying your day wherever you are- I myself am nursing my wicked alcohol related malady and taking today one step and ibuprofen at a time. Is it too early for pizza? Cause that's what's up this boy do I love a good basic but man do I hate a hangover kind of Thursdy in the 718. XO
