Style Crush

Anthropologie

Welcome to Thailand!!

Yesterday, I opened up my mailbox and found that my March 2013 Anthropologie magazine had arrived. I'm always excited when I receive something other than a bill in the mail, especially when it's from Anthropologie. I love this lifestyle brand so much, that on a boring Saturday afternoon I can be found window shopping, exploring each section of the store. Perusing through this specialty shop quickly lifts my spirits and even takes me out of my reality for the 15 to 20 minutes I spend in there. Now, that's powerful!

All of Anthropologie's products tell a story. The buyers and designers travel the world uncovering special products and collaborating with talented artisans. The March issue takes you on a journey to Thailand. You get a feel for what it is like to experience this rich culture. The model is shown strolling through marketplaces, posing near taxi's in Bangkok, and even near the waterside.

The styling and clothing are impeccable, from the headpieces, the fringe and beaded jewelry, to the embroidered and  printed dresses and bottoms.

If you are looking to be inspired stop in an Anthropologie store near you and pick up a free magazine, or request one here.

Leather Lasercut Accessories

Perforated leather accessories are a huge hit for the Spring. These are 3 of the leather accessories that I fell in love with. The heeled oxfords are absolutely adorable.

      

My Ultimate crush!!

Anthropologie's accessories are what I favor most. How stylish is this Blushing Pearl Bib Necklace, the leather floral detail is amazing. With all of the hand detail in this necklace, it is not cheap at $298, but definitely worth it. I may save my pennies, or maybe I have a new DIY project, hmmm!

Until Next Time, Ciao!

Kris's Closet

Inspired by some great bloggers, my partner and I decided to start our own blog. In this blog post you will get a glimpse of pieces in my closet,learn where I found them

 and where I wore them.  

My name is Kristin. Welcome to my closet!

I woke up early Saturday and headed to Amish Country. My guy had to pick up supplies and we needed some fun couple time. We had lunch at my favorite Amish restaurant, Mrs. Yoder's Kitchen in Millersburg, Ohio. We went shopping for cheese and baked goods. Then we spent the rest of the day looking for inspiration for furniture at vintage shops and furniture stores for him.We found some items for the furniture store that is possibly opening this month. I also picked up some supplies for jewelry and a few accessories for myself. I wasn't expecting to find a store to highlight for Style Adventures but I did that as well. I took these photos in between shopping. This is what I wore.

It was pretty cold and snowy Saturday as you can see from my snow sprinkled hair in most of my photos. My goal was to put on enough layers that I could forego my coat. After a couple layers of undergarments, that I did!  I wore a Falls Creek brand long sleeve, round neck tee with a paisley like print. I bought it last year at Meijer, yes Meijer. The collar is not attached. I will get to that. My jeans are my favs. They are Paige Skyline Skinny Jeans.

The sweater is also from Meijers, last year. I liked it because it had silver threads running through it. I apologize that this detail can't be seen in any of the pictures.

Now, this collar is a necklace from Forever 21. I bought I online after seeing it on Style Pantry. I wanted to use it as a template when I thought maybe I would make a few of them. I located a page full of similar options on Forever 21's website. http://www.forever21.com/Search/SearchResult.aspx?dsNav=Ntk:primary%7ccollar+necklace%7c3%7c,Ny:True,Ro:0&dsDimensionSearch=D:collar+necklace,Dxm:AllPartial,Dxp:3&dsCompoundDimensionSearch=D:collar+necklace,Dxm:AllPartial,Dxp:3&br=f21&keyword=collar+necklace&fromsearch=true

I love my pink Russian style Ushanka/Trooper hat. It  is from ebay. It is sooo warm because it is made with fox fur. I also own it in my favorite color, red.

The boots are closet post regulars. They are the South Bay Over-the-Knee boot in henna by Chinese Laundry. Find them online at http://www.zappos.com/chinese-laundry-south-bay-black?ef_id=UQaOcgAAV756c0XO:20130128144258:s My purse is a ten year old Louis Vuitton Papillon.

This concludes another Kris's Closet. Thank you so much for stopping by!
