BODEN SPRING JACKET AND LEATHER SADDLEBAG

The Steele Maiden: Boden Spring Jacket and Leather Saddlebag

There is a very explicit happiness that I attach to Spring jackets. They signify a distinct shift – when the weather is not quite fully warm yet, but allows for the first chance to shrug your shoulders out of those oppressive Winter coats. For that reason alone I really like them. Couple that with a bold print and swingy shape (anddddd water-resistant finish and removable hood) like this one from Boden – and I’m in love.

STRIPED TEE AND BLUE VELVET HEELS

The Steele Maiden: Winter Blues - Blue Trousers, Velvet Heels and Striped Tee

Before I they called it Seasonal Affective Disorder (or SAD) – I think they just called it the Winter Blues. From which I most definitely suffer. Between the seemingly endless cold, grey days and the fact that it’s dark by 4:30PM, the winter months always leave me feeling generally a bit lackluster. So my best defense? Force myself to get outside and take advantage of any and all sun, while wearing something happy. Which for me, ironically, means the color blue.

WINTER LAYERS: PLAID COAT AND WHITE MIDI SKIRT

The Steele Maiden: Winter Layers in Plaid Coat, White Midi Skirt and pink sweater

If you live anywhere in the Northeast, then you know that it’s cold right now. Like bone chilling cold. After spending most of Saturday running around Central Park in the snow, slipping and sliding.. and taking quite a few snowballs in the line of fire between Adam and his brother… the weather took a serious turn towards unbearable on Sunday. Which means lots of blankets, cups of tea, and when I MUST outside – layers.

HOLIDAY OUTERWEAR: FAUX FUR SCARF AND PLAID COAT

The Steele Maiden: Holiday outerwear - faux fur scarf and plaid coat

Of all the pieces I first debuted at the beginning of the holiday season (see them all in my ‘Complete Guide to the Holidays), this plaid coat and faux fur scarf have easily gotten the most wear since then. Okay this flannel sleepshirt is in the running.. but the first two have definitely seen the most light of day.

HIS AND HERS HOLIDAY STYLE WITH BODEN

The Steele Maiden: His and Hers Holiday Style with Boden and a Vintage Chevy Truck

Yesterday I launched part one of my ‘Complete Guide to the Holidays‘ which featured style inspiration & gifting ideas for the season ahead – and over the next couple of weeks I’ll be showing you the expanded posts and closer looks at some of those featured looks. Of everything we shot for the guide this feature on ‘His and Hers Holiday Style’ was by far my favorite. I’m lucky enough to always have Adam’s partnership behind the scenes/lense (that guide never would have launched on time had it not been for his tireless support) – but it was such a treat to have him with me in front of the camera as well. And in a classic ’54 chevy? All the better.
