Play on a Classic


Gryphon Jacket (from Bib + Tuck).  Vince Leggings.  Elizabeth and James Blouse.
Target Fedora.  Steve Madden Heels.  J.Crew Clutch.  


I spent the past few days cooking with my Nana (here's when she taught me how to make pasta). Our three days together included a bonus knitting session and I'm almost finished with (and very proud of) my first cozy scarf!


In other news I'll be participating in Bib + Tuck's Fashion Forward Project (a fun styling challenge) over the next 10 weeks along with 10 other bloggers. This gorgeous embroidered Gryphon jacket was my first item to style and I must say this stylish, tomboy meets girlie, take on a classic trench is right up my alley. It will be hard to part with this one as I will sadly be sending it off to another blogger at the end of the week, yet I can't wait to see how the next person styles this colorful trench! You can read more about Bib + Tuck on Vogue.

Love how you paired the cheetah print with the jacket!

Curious - are those shoes comfortable? I've been eyeing them up at the stores for a bit but haven't taken the plunge yet.
