crayola color block

It's. Cold. I'm waiting to take Charlie on his morning walk and he is burroughed underneath the covers next to Raven right now. He's no fool, as my dad would say.

This weather makes me tick. It's inspiring to me and I just feel more myself in the winter (insert cold-hearted bitch and/or Frozen joke here). Not to mention, getting dressed is so much more fun. The more layers, the more possibilities, the less of a chance people will see the stubble on my legs. Of course, I kind of wish I were on a ski weekend in Vermont right now, but New York in the cold is magical, too.

There's nothing like a little primary color color blocking to keep your disposition nice and sunny in this weather. Oh! If you're loving my scarf, as I mentioned on Instagram, my SIL made it! She is a force with knit goods, and she is opening up an Etsy shop SOON! In the meantime, if you'd like a custom piece, please email me allie AT littleredswell DOT com for her contact info.

A special thanks to Ashley Caroline Photography - in between an epic day of shopping with her and Julia, we squeezed in a mini photoshoot. Love you, Ash!

colorful, comfy start

Aaaand we're back! Happy New Year, Happy Monday! It feels like a lifetime since the holidays, doesn't it? A new year will do that to you, I guess. What have you all been up to the past few days? I had a great week last week, lots of dates with friends, lots of wedding pondering, and lots of cleaning and organizing my life. Raven and I opened our first joint bank account, I had a shoot with Ashley (coming soon!), paid all my 2014 bills, and spent Saturday night discussing business and life with Becca and Courtney. OH! Speaking of Courtney, I finally decided to get into shape and have signed up for a 6 week program at Bari. I cannot wait to keep you posted on the progress!

Let's ease into Monday and this year with some easy, comfy fashion. Just because you feel comfy doesn't mean you have to throw your sartorial personality out the window. Grow some balls, try something new, break your own rules, everything matches! Like this:

I love love love the wintery colorblocking that has been happening lately (T Swizz has been doing it a lot, and you know how I feel about her). Layering muted jewel tones is so chic and takes the guesswork out of getting dressed this morning. By the way, I just purchased a pair of Matt Bernson booties a few weeks ago, and have been paring them with everything. I highly recommend them!

Talk to me, friends! Thoughts?

xoxo,
