{outfit post} snow day lunch break...

One of the best parts of my new internship is that its only a few blocks from Tully's office (Time Square - hooray)! So once or twice a week we meet for lunch, usually at Guy & Gallard in the thick of the Garment District on 40th. We sip soup and Diet Coke, and talk about... Whatever we talk about. Usually the stressful and/or interesting things we've been doing all day.

Yesterday we changed it up - it was a snow day after all - and got a couple slices on Broadway then tromped over to Bryant Park to see the ice skaters, the snow-covered little tables and chairs, and snap a few pictures of our "above the knee chic" outfits.

 

Tully: Roxy hat; Tucker blouse; khaki military surplus store jacket (borrowed from moi); The North Face puffy duster jacket; Urban Outfitters skirt; Express tights; Sorel (mens) boots; Roxy bag.

Moi: Ray Ban aviators; Gap boyfriend shirt; random lace t-shirt from San Francsisco boutique; BDG black jeggings; vintage mink; vintage Missoni scarf; mom's equestrian-style rubber weillies; Prada handbag (circa early 2000's, hand-me-down from mom).

So brrr, but you get the idea.

Don't mind the tail... It's my scarf, tied to my bag. Special.

snow day style...

the sartorialistWell, 19 inches of snow fell in Manhattan last night. It really is amazing how fast it piles up - quieting the streets and making even the busiest avenues look picturesque - but how crazy, dirty, wet and wild things look by 9 a.m. Depending on where you live, where you work, and how you're getting there, you really have no idea what kind of conditions you might be up against on a day like this. I've pretty much taken up the mentality that as far as snow day style is concerned, nothing below the knee counts.

For example, today I'm wearing black BDG jeggings, my Gap maroon boyfriend button-down shirt with a cream lace t-shirt layered over it, vintage Missoni scarf, a ballerina topknot and oversize pearl earrings, and my vintage mink coat (Ray Ban aviators to shield my peepers, obviously). However below the knee, I'm donning thick grey ski socks and knee-high black rubber wellington boots. (I'll try to blog this look asap - it's a goodie.) Just because children have the day off from school does not mean you must take the day off from looking chic!

Take a cue from these blog and editorial images I rounded up on how to get your snow-savvy style on:

a peek at my vacation days...

In case you want a little taste of my relaxing weeks in Seattle and Sun Valley, I put together a little gallery of the best shots. Here you'll find some gems from Christmas with the whole Davies family, some really nice scenic shots from the mountains, New Years Eve silliness, skiing, and some good fashion moments as well.

{outfit post} snowy stroll in the park...

While the girls and I are absolutely loving our downtown address, we sometimes long for the other world that is the Upper East Side. It really does feel like a different city when you emerge from the subway at 77th & Lexington. Tully and I were feeling nostalgic this weekend, so we decided that a little trip down memory lane, also known as Madison Avenue, was in order. We window shopped our way from 60th to 72nd, then ducked into the park, unable to resist the snowcovered hills and bridges.

We strolled around for a while as snow flurried around us, past sledding children and cross country skiiers, marveling at how different Central Park looks when it's been blanketed, frozen and re-blanketed in snow. It was pretty gorgeous, and may I add, a perfect excuse to take my newly inherited vintage mink for a little outting...

Tully is wearing my Marc by Marc aviators, an Express headband (it's perfection) and a Marc New York jacket.

Those same darn Corso Como boots...
