The Ways of Winter

January 2nd, 2012

Madewell Parka and Lace Dress, Hue Tights, Proenza Schouler Boots

We took these photographs a few days ago and  I can’t even imagine wearing such a heavy jacket right now. We’re currently experiencing a pretty intense heat wave in L.A. (it’s supposed to be close to 80° all week), so I’ve been trying to find light pieces to wear that don’t look too awkward for January. The year has started off well though, and we spent New Year’s Eve with some of our closest friends eating oysters, blind taste testing different champagnes, and consuming far too much dessert (I’ll share what I contributed tomorrow).

    Even though it’s super simple, this is actually one of my favourite outfit posts of yours recently! I’m forever on the hunt for the perfect parka (I have two, but neither are perfect), and this looks to be it (if only there was a Madewell in London). So adorable on you!

    Have a lovely week
