Twirl

Wearing: Alice & Olivia skirt (similar) and cami (similar) and Valentino sandals (loaned)

When I was about five or six, I had a light blue Cinderella dress that had a train that sparkled. I used to run down this long hallway (which resulted in me falling every two minutes... some things never change) and the train would fly up around me. Everytime I wore my Cinderella dress it brought a smile to my five year old self. In all honesty, I think I still have the dress but it has seen better days.

When the amazing Seaside Luxe team let me play dress up in their Viceroy boutique, I beelined to this Alice & Olivia maxi skirt. All those princess memories flooded back into my head as I twirled under Anguilla's early morning sun.

Tucked Treasures

Now now, we all know I don't really wear florals but thanks to Bib & Tuck, I found the most perfect dress known to humankind. As my style is evolving, while it's important to stay true to yourself, taking risks is equally as important. On B&T, I love stumbling upon unique "risk-taker" treasures that I normally would overlook while shopping in person. After selling a few of my older items, I was able to tuck a piece of my own. Please tell me, I am not the only one who feels as if they are trading items on Sims... just me? Okay then.

As cliché as it sounds, this dress makes me feel awesome. Everything from the open back to the slits just conveys that "something special" vibe that I look for in all the pieces I buy (or in this case, tuck). I promise you that signing up for Bib & Tuck will give you the chance to find yourself the piece that makes you feel like a million bucks (baby).  

On another note, I am departing Anguilla after an amazing week full of sun(sets), sand, and happiness. I will be returning to the states with a healthy glow and fresh mind. Come Monday, I will begin to share my plethora of pictures. Until then, I bid you a farewell and a happy weekend.

Vibrance

 This past weekend, it was great to feel the warm sunshine on my face and for the temperatures to excel 50*. Winter has felt like a massive black hole of polar vortexes and countless feet of snow. Receiving a small taste of Spring boosted my mood (especially being near the ocean this past weekend). Being able to step outside in a blazer and jeans was the best feeling ever. These boyfriend jeans are the closest my legs have been exposed to air the past four months and I cannot wait to wear them more in the Spring. Along with a simple look of jeans and a blazer, a silk scarf spices things up a little. I am not a big scarf person but I love the un-expected twist of wearing it "western style".  Here is to a vibrant Spring ahead... don't worry, it is coming.

BOND

Wearing: J.Brand jeans, Topshop sweater, Mango leather jacket, Mango coat (similar), Celine bag, Alice & Olivia heels (another awesome color), Asha by Adm ring

I am back friends- sorry for being absent around here. I have been down in Florida for a sailing regatta since Wednesday- check out my instagram for some snapshots. Today is the last day and tonight I will be flying home (not too thrilled to leave warm weather). I shot these photos with Lydia last week outside an incredible building on Bond Street. Here I am again wearing my new favorite jacket from Mango. It might be one of my smartest purchases I've ever made. Because it is still Winter (the mini mountains of snow remind us!) it was essential to layer up with a heavy coat and cozy sweater. With all the dark colors, white jeans gave a much needed relief of white to the outfit. The small details like the quilting on the jeans and pop of stripes add interest to an otherwise simple outfit. Enjoy your Sunday!

Thank you for the positive response on last week's post about quality over quantity. A quick note regarding quality- I am having some trouble when it comes to my photos so stay with me while I get it all sorted out. If you or anyone you know is a photography wiz, please email me.

To say the least, I am pretty much done with Winter. Over the weekend I wore a pair of white lace pants that I picked up last spring from Joie. To stay warm, I layered up with a grey sweatshirt (I have worn it everyday for the past week) and a oversized scarf. Shed the extra layers and add heels when it's time to dress up a bit.

Whoever said that you can't wear summer pieces in the middle of winter was very very wrong. I purchased these rag & bone jeans this previous summer on super sale at Intermix. They are a little bit edgier than basic white because of the bleached fabric and zippers at the ankles- which are perfect for showing off killer heels. Of course I am wearing head-to-toe blue again. A chunky sweater is one stop layering and ideal on Winter days. My rule on knits- the thicker, the better especially during polar vortexes.

Due to tomorrow's spooky holiday, I thought I wore dress a little more in the spirit. I am not a massive fan of the holiday, instead I will be spending the day sailing and watching Hocus Pocus: this girl doesn't do scary movies. On another note, I've been wearing more black and edgier clothes than normal, but I'm kinda loving it. I would love to know if are a little more in the spirit than I am- share below! 

Moody Blue

Dolce Vita coat // Asos dress (last worn here) // Alice and Olivia shoes

I have a case of the blues. Any shade of blue makes my heart swoon- hence the absurd amount of the color I have in my closet. I recently purchased this jacket from Dolce Vita. Within the weaving on the jacket, it has touches of black and grey which (in my opinion) justifies it as a neutral. On another note, I have been receiving plenty of questions for my new Q&A series. Except a fun post shortly and be sure to send me any last minute questions you might have.

The beginning of Summer and end of the school year means there is tons of events; graduations, parties, etc... Yesterday, for my prize day I wore a gorgeous RVN dress- here is the tank version. Last week, I attended a family friend's graduation, wearing this Alice and Olivia dress. All of A&O's summer dresses are perfect for summery events. See below for more Alice and Olivia picks!

In my last post, I mentioned about experimenting with my hair more. This dutch braid is super easy to do. I am thinking about doing a hair tutorial on a favorite style of mine- let me know if you would like that!

Jet Set to Anguilla

I am so excited to be leaving for Anguilla tomorrow! My family and I are staying at the Viceroy on Meads Bay. The property is beyond beautiful, and is full of fantastic restaurants and great activities. I am so happy to escape the blistering cold! Below, I've included some items that have made it into my suitcase. I also packed tunics and sweaters from Sail to Sable, HIHO, and Annie Griffin! Stay tuned for outfit posts in the sunshine and exciting news regarding the amazing island. xx


Keep on Sailing,
Sloane
