{ smoke }





{ h&m beanie, kelly framel teardrop talon necklace, zara blouse, club monaco clutch (it doubles as a laptop case when i travel!), gifted juicy couture pants, b.ella cashmere socks, donald j. pliner shoes }

shot these tests with jeremy late last week. it was villainously sleeting outside, so we played around with tissue filters in the fading afternoon light of my apartment lobby, just before i shrugged on my trusty smoke-toned coat and slumped out into the evening. i've officially hit that point in the winter season where it seems that all i wear are shades of gray. in other words, warm weather withdrawals are in full effect.

Warm weather withdrawals or not, you look fantastic. I love all the play of the tone-on-tone textures. And the shoe/sock combo is to die for!

The photo effects are great and those pants are to die for. Know what you mean about the weather...winter has become so overrated and I'm not a fan of heavy coats and winter boots. Plus I had the pleasant experience of realizing my Wellies do nothing to keep my feet warm in the snow....

The Fancy Teacup said...

I like the tissue filter effects, almost dreamy-like in a way. Adore your mix up of prints, the dots, the animal prints, etc. Very cozy and chic looking.

I've been on the hunt for a good floppy beanie, and H&M is in my price range- I might have to track this one down. BTW grey is a great canvas, you can do so much with it!
