Bear with me here, while I alternate between posting about the two feet of snow outside on my doorstep and the pretty spring looks I'm dreaming about once the weather warms up. Don't get me wrong, I'm actually enjoying the wintery weather right now in some ways. It's so pretty outside and I don't have anywhere I need to go so being stuck inside with a little work to do and good food to eat is not such a bad thing. But my mind can't help but wander to warmers days...
One thing I always look forward to at the beginning of each season is flipping through the Orla Kiely lookbook. It makes me feel a bit like Christmas morning, albeit a Christmas morning where I don't get to keep any of the present. Still, nobody makes me want to wear prints more than Orla and the styling gets me every time. For spring I'm loving the color palette of rusty browns, navy blue and sea green. And the sunglasses, oh the sunglasses! I don't remember the last time I bought a new pair. I've been wearing the same aviators from H&M all winter long. I adore those 40s style cream ones paired with the navy looks. I'm also putting light, lacy socks to wear with oxfords on my list of must-tries.
P.S. If you like these, be sure to watch the film. It's nice to see the clothes in motion rather than just still photos.
What a great collection! I agree, the lace socks and oxford combo is too cute to pass up!!
ReplyDeleteYep, I love it all. So perfect.
ReplyDeleteoh wow this is amazing!!! one of the best collections i've seen so far. thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteEeeek! I love it all. Thanks for sharing this. I looked on the website a little while ago hoping to find the new collection but it wasn't up yet, and now I'm so happy :) What gets me is that EVERYTHING is so pretty. Usually I only like a few things from one designer but all the pieces are equally cute!! I'm going to dream now and imagine I had a wardrobe full of Orla Kiely dresses...
ReplyDeleteI love every single look. The dresses are all so simple and playful, but put together and adult all the same. I love the styling too...and was just thinking before I read what you wrote that I need to find some lacy white or cream socks:)
ReplyDeleteThese are some GORGEOUS looks from Orla. They are one of my favorite brands but I've never been able to afford to purchase something from their collection. Someday!
ReplyDeleteI'm also enjoying the snow right now and I honestly don't wish that spring was here - I love winter and am always sad to see the cold weather leave.

I adore Orla Kiely! I want everything though surprisingly the oxfords the most. I am so picky that it is hard for me to actually find a pair that I like.

Lovely blog!
I just wanted to let everyone know that the lace socks on the Orla Kiely look book are the models socks. They are not for sale of course. This was the only thing I was going to so. I was quite disapointed.
