Most people probably don’t think of grey when you mention spring, instead calling the brighter shades of nature to mind. However, one of my favorite things about spring is the beginning of storm season. Those tumultuous grey skies, cool rain, and the light show that is nature at her best, or worst depending on your view. And because I love the color grey for spring looks, I was delighted to see that some of the newest releases from L`Abel were indeed made in this lovely shade.
When Sascha Frangilli passed me one of her newest releases for review, the name perplexed me a bit. An outfit that consists of black and houndstooth doesn’t immediately bring the word swirly to mind. But once I got into the folders and saw the sheer number of mix and match possibilities, I understood a bit better. Yes, my mind was swirling with all of the style options that Swirly offers you and I had a lot of fun putting different looks together. For my first look, I wanted to contrast the classic houndstooth pattern of the jacket with a very modern twist.
Winter is fast approaching and that means the cold and snow will be here before I’m ready. That is always the case in RL since winter is my least favorite season. I don’t really care for snow. However, Shiryu Musashi of Musashi-Do has created a coat so fabulous you won’t mind traipsing through the cold white stuff as you do your holiday shopping.
PACADI Jasha reopened this week with their new fall collection and a new build. I must admit that I’d never heard of the store before a notice announcing the Fall Collection went out to the iheartsl blogger’s group this past weekend. I decided to check it out while I had a bit of free time and was pleasantly surprised to find both Lotta Shelman and Julia Tower there as I looked around. They were putting a few finishing touches out for the reopening, and I really enjoyed their new space. Things are organized into different buildings, so finding what you’re looking is fairly easy. Lotta and Julia, co-owners of the PACADI Jasha brand and the designers behind the fantastic clothing and jewelry, were kind enough to gift me with some review copies of the things that I liked. I’ll show you some of what I picked out.
The first thing I had to have with this Striped Long Sleeve shirt in blue.
