My Summer Essentials: Anabela of Fieldguided

While I am spending a little more time staring at my sweet new baby boy, I've asked a handful of my favorite bloggers to share with you their style must-haves for Summer. Next up we have the ever-amazing Anabela of Fieldguided:





1. Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Siren

I decided to try orange lipstick finally and while I've picked up a few pricier orange lipsticks that I love (MAC's Morange and Lipstick Queen's Chinatown Glossy Pencil in Genre), my ultimate favourite is this very inexpensive lipstick from the drugstore. It's the perfect shade of orange, and while it doesn't have the staying power of other lipsticks, it goes on really nicely.

(can be purchased at any drugstore, or here.



2. Dace Juniper top

This blouse is so perfect. Loose fit, gauzy cotton fabric, cute colour & details (I love the peach stripe down the front and buttons in back). Really easy, which is what I like best in summer when I basically wear glorified pyjamas for three months straight. I prefer it to a t-shirt because it offers a little more structure than jersey.



3. Filippa K Dina Cork Wedge in tan

These were my "fancy shoes" purchase for the summer. They're described as "tan" but they're a little closer to pink. They're lightweight and comfortable and I feel really great when I wear them.

My Summer Essentials: Jennifer of Odette NY

While I am spending a little more time staring at my sweet new baby boy, I've asked a handful of my favorite bloggers to share with you their style must-haves for Summer. First up, we have the very talented Jennifer - designer of Odette NY jewelry:





A large-scale necklace: Odette Amuletum Necklace

In the summer when when less clothing is worn, I tend to go bigger with jewelry. Plus, I designed this collection to work well with summer necklines.



A scarf/wrap/picnic blanket/sarong: Ermie Ave. 51 Scarf

When I met Jennifer Parry Dodge earlier this year, she was wearing this beautiful scarf from a print she designed and I knew I had to have it. It proved to be an incredibly versatile piece on my trip; worn as a scarf, a wrap on the airplane, an impromptu picnic blanket, and a sarong on the beach. Here it is, worn as a wrap during a Santorini sunset.



A summer scent: MCMC Fragrances Love Perfume

Ever since my studio mate Anne gave me a preview of her new fragrance Love, I've been so in love with it, I've worn it every day. With top notes of yuzu citrus, basil, and magnolia, I'm obsessed!



A sundress: Whit Urchin Dress

Brooklyn is hot in the summer time so my daily attire is generally as follows: sandals, large scale necklace, and a sundress.



Leather sandals: Greek Sandals

I bought these leather sandals at the Monastiraki market in Athens on a recent trip to Greece. The color is a natural untanned leather that deepens into a golden tan over time. The best part is that they are not terribly expensive. Here they are at Shell Beach on Shelter Island. Read More.. Read More..

Hello!

Hi there! I am very very happy to report that our little guy, Wylie, arrived 17 whole days ago on July 15th. He's absolutely perfect and we are enjoying every single second of getting to know him.

I have lots in store for Camp Comfort, but I am going to spend a little more time baby-mooning with the husband and boy. In the meantime, I have asked a few of my favorite bloggers to share with you their Summer Essentials - the few style related items they cannot live without this summer. So, to get things started - Here are my Top 3 Summer Essentials:


Clog Sandals: This summer I purchased the Low Braided Clog from Swedish Hasbeens. I am loving the low heel for everyday wear (photo by moi).


Denim Shorts: Cut-Off, Cuffed, Light, Dark, Colors. Paired back to a lightweight button-down or a slouchy tee = my go-to summer look (via Levis, Madewell, Joe's).


Topknot: Essential to keeping long hair off the neck on sweltering days, enough said (via WhoWhatWear).

Bangs Again (And Again)

After FINALLY getting my bangs to grow out long enough to rock the 70's style middle-part, I've resolved to chop them again! I know I am not the only person to constantly go through this vicious cycle... So what is it that makes us want to torture ourselves with this back and forth hair routine? Boredom?

I am taking this photo from the Mulberry Spring 11 runway as inspiration to the salon. Blunt bangs and long wavy hair will be my Spring/Summer look... Plus blunt bags are soooo fantastic with a top knot (my go-to Summer do).

p.s. Speaking of hair, has anyone used the Bumble and Bumble Bb. Texture Hair (Un)Dressing Cream??? Rumored to result in the perfect tousled look... Does it work?
p.p.s. LOVE the red hair, although I will not be going there this time around.... Read More.. Read More..

A New Favorite

I know I owe you a larger post on my favorite beauty products, but in the meantime, I wanted to share my new lip color obsession. I give you the Clinique Chubby Stick... odd name, awesome product.


Sheer lipstick-like color that's as moisturizing as chapstick. I started with the Mega Melon, which is the perfect coral color to transition into Spring. I highly recommend! Read More.. Read More..
