Forest Shades

October 24th, 2011

Zara Blazer, Myne Dress c/o, Juicy Couture Clutch, Vintage, DanniJo, J.Crew Bracelets, Alaia Booties, Essie Wicked Nail Polish

I own a fair amount of blazers, but this forest green one I bought while in New York last month has quickly become one of my favorites. It’s a fun departure from basic black or navy, but still manages to be just as versatile. I wore this out to grab sushi and frozen yogurt (possibly the best combo ever) and then changed into comfortable basics for the remainder of the weekend, which included a trip to the flea market (where I found the most amazing ’50s punch bowl), some DIY projects, and pumpkin carving.

    I’m in love with the blazer. Teal is one of my favorite colors for fall. Bonus for the gorgeous peacock feathers behind you in the first pic!! http://www.theprettydish.com

    I love blazers; especially ones in different colors other than black or navy.

    Such an amazing blazer…great find! Love that it strays from the basic and also that it has double breast buttons…so cool. Great find!

    Those are probably the most beautiful shoes I’ve ever seen.

    I love how the dress creates the illusion of texture. The colors paired with the teal-ish (even though you said it was forest green) blazer is chic, and perfect for the Fall!

    My favorite sushi and frozen yogurt places just so happen to be smack dab next to each other so I’m very familiar with that incredible combo. You look lovely in forest green and those alaia booties are amazing.

    That blazer is such a great color – unexpected, yet seems like it could go with anything? Moreover – I’m obsessed with that peacock backdrop you found!

    colored jackets are so in right now! girl, you fresh.

    Oh, I like many of your pieces and outfits so much, but every time a skirt or dress is involved I find myself wishing that it were just a bit longer — I think it would be so much more flattering!

    Love this color on you. Emily I swear you have the best hair, hands down.
    Super cute.

    I would say that was peacock or chambray blue, not emerald green!

    I’ve been wearing the same blazer (every day) since September. Maybe it’s time to invest in another.

    hmm, you wouldn’t think it would be so versatile, but it looks good. I’m still looking for a decent navy blazer myself.

    Dear Emily, I love your blog: a breath of United States, luxury, fashion beauty that is sweeping our small European. But honestly, I find your clothes a little too short, in fact, it reveals the beginning of the flare of the thigh and even if it is not your case, it becomes plump … sorry for the remark, but I wanted more! Above the knee, would be class! watch the parades, the big names … to reveal too much, it spoils the attractions! the best.
