Look Book: Vintage Knit Tuques & An Ocean Pier!!

Dec 1, 2011

With winter less than a month away and our steadily dropping temperatures, I was inspired to work a more snuggly & winter inspired look. I’m getting so excited to wear textured knit hats, sweater tights, and my newly purchased fair isle leg warmers all season long -yippee! It’s the perfect winter accompaniment, along with hot chocolate, mittens, and adorable snowmen -of course! Don't you guys just love how each season brings its own little magical bits?! It's so splendid!
Hubs and I were up to our usual tricks - oh boy, we're so predictable! After snapping a few photos, we enjoyed such a sweet & romantic walk down the pier, all the while enjoying the squawking seagulls, and we took in the most amazingly crisp & salty air - so relaxing. We even spotted an otter swimming about in the water. Gosh, they are so cute, don't you just love how they float on their backs?! Eee, I could kiss them! Haha, except that they would bite my face off! 
Any fun plans for the weekend, friends?! I’m off to a Christmas themed blogger meet-up this Saturday, and instead of our usual clothing swap, we're swapping cookies - super cute, right?! Although, I might be cheating a bit, I don't really bake so I'll be bringing some yummy "bakery bought" cookies instead. But for the record, I do make a mean vegetarian lasagna!! xo veronika

  12. I love wearing tights in the winter as well! I think they're a great alternative to jeans since you can still wear those summer dresses in the winter.

  16. oh my veronika, i can't remember where you live, with the mountains & green trees majesty, the sea, & sea otters, (sigh). you look fantastic in that hat! i dig the warm looking tights, & the floral dress.

  17. This entire outfit is too stinkin cute! I already miss being able to go out in fall-ish layers but the 20 degree weather means I'm already needing to be wrapped up head to toe when I go outside! And hello, how cool is it that you saw a sea otter?!

  18. A cookie swap sounds like fun, and I like the knit accessories that you chose.

  19. A cookie swap sounds like so much fun! In December, I am a baking machine. I mean, really. I make over a dozen kinds of bars and cookies and pies. Thank you for your sweet comment on my missing dog. She is still M.I.A. and I am so sad. But hopefully she finds her way back soon. Love your pretty outfit Veronika! Your hat is adorable and the booties are one of my faves you own!

  48. There's nothing wrong with being predictable, Veronika, especially when it results in such beautiful photos :) I've been gravitating towards snuggly pieces lately, too- it's just so cold outside! But I'll take cold and sun over rain any day. I just love your beanie, it's so adorable. And I'm such a sucker for floral skirts :) Can't wait to see you and your "bakery bought" cookies on Saturday!

  75. Those sweater tights sure look cozy. What great pictures! You don't often think "ocean" and "pine trees" together, well, at least I don't. I'm usually envisioning sea shells and palm trees when I hear ocean. This is refreshing. :)

  79. My gosh you are just absolutely adorable! I'm trying so hard to catch up on all of your posts. Josh and I are still trying to get moved and everything done, so it will be a while before I can get back to reading them all, lol!

    You look so gorgeous and I love those wedges and that dress! Sweater tights sound amazing, do they ever get too hot though? Usually when I wear sweaters to a family gathering or something, I have to take breaks and stand outside and freeze to death to feel better (LOL) I'm crazy, I know! I'm rambling. ;P
