BOF Street Style

Coat and Tights: H&M / Scarf: Joe Fresh / Hat, Gloves and Booties: Vintage

I know we've been hating on winter lately but today I took a moment to appreciate some of my best vintage winter accessories. All the finishing touches on this outfit are 100% vintage and I love the way they add interest. I also wanted to show you guy's last week's two-sided scarf in action, doesn't it look cozy? Well, I'm out now, time to enjoy the weekend!  

A Russian Winter

Smart Set top/vintage boots and hat/coat and skirt from China/infinity scarf as muff from Hong Kong

It's official. We are in the heart of winter and my favourite coat is still going strong! Like I've always said, accessories really make the outfit. Just compare a bold and elegant look like this to the understated class of my previous post and you can hardly believe it's the same coat. I paired this vintage hat with a similar faux fur infinity scarf I picked up in Hong Kong last year, but instead of putting it around my neck, I decided to really go all the way and turn it into a muff. I mean, if you're gonna brave the winter like this you gotta go all the way. And just to keep it interesting, I added a few pops of colour and the transformation is complete. I feel like I just stepped out of a Tolstoy novel or something!

Here's to bringing new life to old coats!

We can't believe it's been a whole other year already, Frockers!

A big thank you to all those who have been following our blog and supporting us. We wish you all a happy 2015!

A Very Long Engagement

Hat: Custom Made / Jacket: Thrifted / Scarf: H&M / Jeans: J Brand / Cardigan: Target / Boots: Etienne Aigner / Handbag: Michael Kors

The army green jacket is a style that seems to reappear every season and for me, it is most definitely a staple. This particular army jacket I'm wearing is actually both thrifted and a hand-me-down. The jacket was first spotted at our local Village des Valeurs (french for thrift store) where I was shopping with a friend. We inevitably both fell in love with it and found ourselves in a difficult situation. I decided that whoever the jacket looked best on would take it home. Needless to say, I lost this contest as I was up against a redhead...and we all know what the colour green does for redheads. Five years later, when said friend was ready to give up the jacket, I finally inherited it. Don't you just love clothing with a story? A big thank you to my friend Vanessa for passing this jacket down to me :)

Crochet Crazy

Crochet Sweater: F21 / Pants: H&M / Boots: Zara / Handbag: Cynthia Rowley / Hat: Vintage

It seems I am naturally attracted to all clothing that is reminiscent of a tablecloth. I absolutely love this new sweater I picked up at F21. So easy to wear and really brings the whole outfit together. It feels like a perfect transition into spring/summer fashion because I'm already thinking of ways to style it with a light dress or even a pair of shorts. What do you think?
