seaside

For the holiday Mr. Mounser and I traveled to San Francisco to be with our lovely family. We had such a wonderful time, and were sure glad to lounge in the sun seaside rather than trudge through New York snowside....These pictures are from a teeny town called Pescadero. I loved all of the textures and colors of the natural landscape, and it was a nice surprise to see the geography hold such rich color during the winter months. Pescadero really is the cutest little town. The main drag is littered with amazing antique, thrift and handmade furniture stores, and their General Store makes cinnamon rolls that are to die for. From one of the vintage shops I scored the perfect 1950's creamy wool cardigan with gold buttons on the front placket and sleeves for $4.50 as well as a YSL necklace for $8.00!

warm fuzzies

This jacket gives me the warm fuzzies...believe it or not, this bohemian number is from Forever 21. Get it here. This curly-q coat falls right in line with a lot of my inspiration for the season - soft, cozy, furry textured knits that can be worn with ease. Its such an effortless layering piece and fresh alternative to a cardigan. I also love the luggage brown hue of this piece and paired with Margiela clogs the over all look has a distinctly vintage feel.

long red dress

This dress was such an amazing vintage find. Cozy and comfy knit, its the perfect way to look feminine while fighting the windy wispy elements of winter. The shape is great as its seamed down the bodice so that the skirt falls perfectly around the legs with a generous amount of volume. I chose to accessorize with lots and lots of bohemian jewelry and a vintage wide brimmed hat and topped the look off with a camel trench to continue a 70's feeling. I am so into 70's bohemia right now, and love anything with lengthy volume and movement.
