Scottish Rites

In celebration of recent events, my nuclear family is jetting to Scotland for the next week (and London for a few days). It wouldn’t surprise you to learn that before almost every trip, I draw out a packing list that looks something like this. Doing so helps me focus my vacation vision, which inevitably has turned into an homage to my ultimate semi-sportif hip-hop lady-playa who digs the rolling hills – a flat brim hat, some Adidas spandex, an incognito trench, etc.

I’ll be carrying on my dad’s old backpack, a Lands End Canvas fisherman sweater, the St. James tee, some American Apparel and J.Crew tees, my London Fog trench, my Urban Outfitters jean jacket, Cheap Monday and Zara jeans, Adidas running spandex, a Gap henley, a Lands End Canvas polka-dot button up “borrowed” from mom, my men’s department J.Crew shirt, new Converse All Stars, Bass boots, Target socks, the Avs, the Cat Eyes, and SEE glasses, a DC baseball cap from Jonas’s baseball team, mom’s scarves, books, books, books, (screw e-readers), Moleskines.

Second Run: An American In Paris

I’m home for my bro’s graduation from college this weekend…

I go majorly chill when I’m in The Mitten, so I’m referring to this sketch from last year for some sartorial tips. You know, things with a loose crotch, shoes that you don’t have to tie, etc.

Animal Print Problems

The genus is made of a wool leopard print scarf picked up from the roomie-giveaway-pile, a silk leopard print scarf from Target, a safari-scene-print handkerchief bought at a vintage stand from college, a J.Crew silk snakeskin top, leopard-print cotton shorts just picked up at Forever 21, a snakeskin clutch gifted from Lucky FABB, leopard print jeans from Target, an ocelot print belt from J.Crew, leopard print slip-on sneaks from the Old Navy boy’s department, an ocelot faux-fur jacket from Filene’s Basement, a silk leopard print blouse-y top from Joie, the Prada leopard print pumps, a Rogan for Target dress, a silk bow blouse from grandma, and a leopard print cardigan from JCPenney. Whew! And, Meow!

Second Run: Ladies Who Brunch

Monday wasn’t the first time grandma’s silk jacket made it onto the internets. What feels like a lifetime ago, I featured the floral number in a slightly funky, slightly sexy brunch look.

It’s kind of crazy to go back a year and a half ago and see how much has changed – and how much has stayed the same. (Honestly, I get all sentimental just thinking about it.)

Are ya’ll interested in me putting up some more second run sketches? Sometimes its fun to look back, no?

Sprung

I was a part of a pretty awesome line-up – social media peeps, represent!
