THE LITTLE THINGS









COMMUNITY PARKA, J. CREW CARDIGAN, MADEWELL TOP, ZARA PANTS, DEENA & OZZY FLATS

These photos are from my trip to New York (December 14-29, 2011), taken at The Boy's hometown in Long Island. The weather was warmer than usual, but this was taken on a particularly chilly and windy day - hence my face in the last photo. When packing for the trip, I almost grabbed my peacoat instead of my parka, thinking it was going to be warm - good thing I brought the warmer jacket! This parka from Aritzia has definitely gotten me through some pretty cold days in Canada!

Warm as the parka may be, the star of this post is definitely this top I picked up on sale at Madewell on 5th Ave.! I love the contrast of the comfy sweatshirt material with the fancier beaded neckline. Another favourite detail of mine is the tiny jewel in the middle of the buttons of my J. Crew cardigan. More goodies - these simple black flats (love the cut of these shoes) were such a steal - on sale for $15 at Urban Outfitters! I also marched all around SoHo on a mission to find red pants. Zara had a great selection of red pants, but none in my size! When night came around, I finally came across a location that had ONE pair of red pants in my size. It was destiny. It's really all about the little things.

  2. The second photo captures the texture of the sweater perfectly! Beautiful detail shot. I've been toying the idea of colored pants but haven't made the leap yet... the colors at Zara are so pretty. :) Love your hair in a bun, it looks great!!

  3. I just purchased a pair of red pants myself (!!!), wondering when would be the occasion to wear them. I was thinking more summer and fall, but i like the way you strut in yours. I've seen celebs doing it up in red hots. Cheers to the cherry.
