Camo at the White House

T-Shirt and Pants: GAP; Necklace and bracelet: J Crew; Shoes: Coach; Bag: Louis Vuitton

It seems very appropriate to post my last photos from Washington DC before I leave for the UK tomorrow.  It was a beautiful spring day, but with rain on and off.  This outfit is going to be very similar to what I have packed for my trip. 

I love these camo pants, just enough visual interest to make the outfit a bit more "me." 

White Pants before Memorial Day

White pants only after Memorial Day is one fashion rule that I don't follow.  White cropped jeans and peep toed heels felt perfect on one of the first warm and sunny spring days. 

Earrings: Tiffany's

Bracelets: All-Links of London except Coach gold bangle

Sunglasses: Vintage Bill Blass; Coat: Caslon; T-Shirt: Ann Taylor; Belt: J Crew; Jeans: American Eagle; Heels: Vintage Burno Magli; Purse: Coach (on loan from my Mom)

 The heels are a great mix of nude and grey and are low enough to wear all day.

Weekend in NY: Army Green, Leopard, and Louis Vuitton

I spent the weekend at home in Horseheads, NY for Easter.  As usual, all I packed was dirty laundry, shoes, and accessories.  There is something so relaxing about being in upstate New York.  A relaxed look is the best one and I don't feel the need to get too pulled together.  Because I had so much laundry to do, I had to raid my brother's closet for some clean clothes. 

Jacket: Caslon from Nordstroms; Shirt: Nautica; Leggings: AE, Boots: J Crew; Purse: Louis Vuitton

On Friday morning I had to borrow Luke's Nautica button down.  He has great style so it wasn't difficult to find something I could adapt.  I loved the mix of patterns and textures and hoped that my polished nails and hair kept it from being too sloppy looking. 

Bracelets: Bangle- Coach; Silver- Links of London; Nail Polish: Revlon Red

Necklace: J Crew

Oh and while I was home my Mom gave me a belated Christmas gift......a vintage Louis Vuitton from the 1980's.  I think that it is the Saumura saddle bag size.  It is the perfect day bag. 

This is my new casual jacket for spring.  I love olive green and thought that the pockets and hood added some interest. 

Sweatshirt: Aerie; T-shirt: GAP

 Saturday we went antiquing in Ithaca.  These photos are from Buttermilk Falls State Park. 

Necklace: Kate Spade

Photos to come of my night at the antique auction.....

The Less Common Approach to Pittsburgh

Sunglasses: Ray Ban; Scarf as Headband: Louis Vuitton (thanks Mom!); T-Shirt: GAP; Necklace: Macy's; Jeggings: AE; Boots: J Crew

My weekend errands uniform of t-shirt and jeans always feels a bit more pulled together with some special touches.  This beautiful view on a sunny February day reminds me how special Pittsburgh really is. 

Love this vintage Coach bag.  Someone added the metal sea beast.

Lipstick: NARS: Carthage

 I love silk scarves to try and tame unruly hair. 

I like to wear my "special" pieces whenever I can and not just keep them as glamorous things to look at.  Hope everyone is having a good weekend!
