Look Book: Trains, Stripes & Vintage Bowler Hats!

Dec 5, 2011

I don't always get up on the right side of the bed - we all have our days, right? But oh boy, I sure did on this particular day!! I woke up in such a happy & joyful mood, and the ultimate icing on the cake?! It was such a beautiful day! Our little town was completely sun-drenched and it was so warm out, it almost felt spring like. Amazing! You know what else makes me a happy girl? Easy & effortless photos! The hubs and I have it down to a fine science of 10-15 minutes, thank goodness! Haha, trust me, it hasn't always been that easy!! Go team us! ;)
Yeah!! I've been scoring on cute, cute clothes lately. How darling is this coat?! My bestie Maria gave it to me just the other day when we met up for a lovely city dinner. Hmm, I can still recall my fabulous vegetarian pakora & couscous dish. Hehe right, back to the jacket! I absolutely love the slightly vintage vibe, and the big button is such an adorable detail. I can't wait to pair it with red over the holidays, or with my skinnies & newly ordered wright boots from Blowfish! And of course it will be absolutely perfect for spring!
Are you guys in the full swing of Christmas planning?! I am, I am!! I just attended an x-mas themed blogger meet-up on Saturday. I'll be posting pictures later this week! I'm also busy planning our dinner menu for the holidays, decorating our condo, blasting & singing along to my fave holiday tunes and I'm loving every minute of it! xo veronika

  44. I'm in love with this look Veronika, and we must have been on a similar brainwave because I did something very similar with the stripes and camel in my post today! Great minds think alike. Your hair has this beautiful copper glow, if you shot this yesterday then I definitely know what you're talking about with the lighting because it was certainly a beautiful day for shooting, so sun-drenched! Beautiful as ever :)

  58. love this, veronika! the train tracks are the perfect background. :) It's amazing what a difference sunshine makes. It's been cloudy and rainy here the past few days and it's driving me crazy!
    You will be so glad you have your photoshoots down to 10-15 minutes when it gets REALLY cold out. I can look back at old posts from last winter on my blog and remember the days that I was freezing and sooo thankful that Kai is a pretty speedy photo taker!

    That said, this is so one of my favorite outfits of yours. The stripes.. the hat! Perfection.
