well, it’s a new year and i’m back at home after the holidays slowly transitioning back to my usual routine. whenever i visit my hometown of redlands, i always imagine that i’ll have all this time to snap outfit photos in from of all my favorite spots, but relaxing in the warmth of my grandmother’s home with my brother and sister, aunts and uncles, and cousins, usually lures me away from my usual antics. but i did snap these photos on the last day of the year in front of the historic a.k. smiley public library. i have many memories in this place, hudled on the marble floors flipping through books.
i’m also wearing what i can easily say is my current favorite outfit. if i could get away with it, i’d wear this every day. the little tunic is handmade out of a velvety soft fine wale corduroy, and it matches so perfectly with the embroidered details of this vintage blouse. and the piÁ¨ce de rÁ©sistance is my new carven coat which i scored on super sale as a little christmas gift to myself. it has quickly put all of my other coats to shame.
wearing: elizabeth tunic courtesy of wayward daughter, vintage blouse, carven double-breasted tweed coat, tabio 110 denier tights in navy, vintage salvatore ferragamo vara pumps in navy, orla kiely gold sparkle leather holly bag, ysl rouge pur couture glossy stain in rouge laque

This is such a perfect little dress, and the coat is beautiful. I think the library background is perfect for the outfit, plus the library is very, very nice. I guess that makes the bad smell easier to bear.
haha, i actually love the smell of library books!
Love the coat – so cute yet refined!

I love seeing a peek into where you’re from Erin! <3 and the architecture on the library is beautiful – as is the Wayward Daughter dress. Cait is a genius!
