Look Book: Winter Lace & Snowflakes!!

Jan 16, 2012

Brr, the cold & snow have finally hit and we are expecting a lot more later this week. Fun!! I love taking our  pooch (aka cutie patootie!) out for snowy strolls; he gets insanely excited and runs in crazy circles around me - it's super cute & hilarious! And nothing beats going for snowy romantic walks with Martin. We love heading down to the ocean and seeing it all covered in white... it's absolutely the prettiest!! In fact, I may go down there for outfit photos later this week!
Last week & this week are pretty busy for me. I'm in the throws of setting up my new store, which now has a name: "Oh Poppy!" I've been configuring shipping, writing all my shop policies, sourcing stock, and ordering all the supplies I need for my jewelry. It's been taking up most of my time and even though it's going to be a small store to start, there is always so much to figure out and plan for. But I could not be more thrilled to be taking this project on - it's something I've always wanted to do and it's exciting to see it all come together.
This dress has seen many a remixes in its day. I really wish I had a photo for each version! I just wore it with red tights & platforms over the holidays (super cute!), and then with a long dark brown cardigan, dark brown boots & knee high socks soon after. And speaking of adorable dresses?! I just ordered this from ModCloth: "Dearest Diarist Dress!" Oh my, I'm so in love! I can't wait to wear it with one of my beloved vintage pea-coats & a cute bowler hat. Haha, so predictable!! xo veronika

Outfit Details:
Hat - Thrifted
 Lipstick (Mauvelous #2366) - c/o Radiant Cosmetics
Sweater - Free People
Dress - H&M (similar)
Tights - Joe Fresh (similar)

  3. You are so adorable miss! I'm so excited to see your jewelry shop come together! I haven't even gotten started on planning mine yet. Just a few charms and nick knacks here and there but not much else lol! We are just about ready to move into the house so I'm sure I can wait until we get settled to start it. :)

    You look beautiful as always! I really adore those shoes and tights, (and it's always great when we have a special piece of clothing we can remix over and over again!)

  33. I definitely like the polka dots and lace together. We haven't had much snow in my area, which is nice for driving, but doesn't result in very pretty pictures.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I'm starting to realize that I need more wedges! I only have a few but they are amazing. Love yours!

    I'm also a big fan of winter lace. :)

  45. I'm sure you know my fondness for this dress all too well, Veronika - I still reminisce about styling it in the summer, it was the most easy, versatile piece and it worked with everything! I think you've done a beautiful job dressing it up for a snowy winter day, the neutral shades stand out so well against the snow. Oh, and those dotted tights? Just darling! Hope your store set-up is going well, I can't wait for the launch!

Veronika, even in cold and snowy winter weather you put together such wonderful outfits - much prettier than anything I can come up with....and I'm "enjoying" winter weather a few months every year!! I love the neutral black, white and grey colour palette you stuck to here - winter white is one of my favourites. :)

  85. this outfit is amazing! I love the dress, been looking for a lace dress myself for ages, but haven't found the right one yet. The combination with the knit, the tights and the hat, wow! Love! and would love to see the combo with red tights!!
    Take it easy on the store. Can't wait to see the result, but don't work yourself out before the launch!!

    ReplyDelete
  86. love this look w/ the cozy grey sweater over that dress, although i can't believe you're not wearing a big coat! Def looks romantic but also can't believe you two were out walking in all that snow- must have been freezing! So exciting you're opening up a small shop. Will it be jewelry you make?
