We were invited to join my college roommate and her amazing family for Christmas in Whistler, British Columbia this year.  It was a pipe dream for us, but it didn’t stop me from fantasizing about my Whistler wardrobe.  Below is my vision board, I pictured cozy fur vests in grey or navy over cozy cashmere turtlenecks.   There are so many fun apre ski sweaters, I am obsessed with Chinti and Parker’s cashmere line, this apre ski sweater is so cute and for a much cheaper apre look Talbots has this winner.

Floral Embroidery

I wasn’t immediately a huge fan of the influx of embroidery onto fashion last winter. During the spring and summer celebs were loving the prohibitively expensive Gucci iterations of the trend.  Gucci seemed to make the first major move on the trend and now droves of more budget friendly brands are jumping on the wagon.  Moving into fall, I can actually say I’m loving cozier versions of the trend. Embroidered sweatshirts and joggers are comfortable and super cute!   Embroidery is making denim more playful and fun, I can even get behind some of the footwear I’ve seen out there.

Feeling Blue

If you know me, you know that I love blue and white, it’s a classic, timeless color combo. So it should come as no surprise that I’m using the blues and whites to inspire my mother’s day brunch table.

Here is an example of a blue and white table executed perfectly!  The use of lemons and oranges add pops of color while not taking away from the simplicity of the table!!

Spring Weekend Vibes

Currently loving the relaxed look of a boho inspired OTS top paired with vintage cut-offs, classic gold accessories, white slip on sneaks and a casual catch all tote (essential for a busy mother of three).   There are so many pretty OTS options this spring, I picked a few of my favorites.  The Gray Malin esque tote is super fun.
