Look for Less

Tie-neck blouse



Tiny dots ribbon blouse

I've been obsessed with Emersonmade's tiny dots ribbon blouse since it first debuted, but just couldn't seem to justify a $128 price tag.  Lo and behold I ran into Gap the other day to find a similar version that just happened to be on sale for $34.50.  Granted, my blouse might be slightly more akin to a boozy 70s lounge singer, but will still have the same effect tucked into dark denim as the one I'm coveting from Emersonmade.

I may have mentioned this before, but I have an unhealthy obsession with all things EmersonMade.  Her blog has been providing little sneak peaks of her Spring Preview line, which has finally arrived!  I love the simple aesthetic and clean lines of her pieces - especially that black & cream linen tuxedo jacket, which just might be finding a home among my wardrobe.

With the weather getting more brisk I definitely intend on taking advantage of the last few weeks of dining al fresco in our tiny bricked backyard downtown.  Canopied by low hanging tree branches it creates the perfect fall atmosphere to spend evenings sipping heavy beers wrapped in fabulous fur coats from Topshop and sporting Coach riding boots with gold hardware.  Emmersonmade (my girl crush) offers the perfect first layer with nautical stripes and an absurdly large poppy flower pin to add a shock of color to the ensemble.
