Orange Sandals




Outfit details: Zara blazer, J Crew blouse, Kate Spade trousers, Sergio Rossi shoes, Celine bag, Hermes scarf, Baublebar necklace

This outfit is all about these fabulous orange and gold trimmed sandals that I got on sale at Barney's. The stacked heel is an ode to my effort to wear more practical shoes. I know, I know, bright orange and gold shoes to some are hardly practical, but to me orange might as well be a neutral.

Navy + White

Outfit details: Zara jacket, Reiss 1971 blouse, J Crew trousers (from last year but this rope print version from this year is darling), Rachel Zoe necklace, Chanel pin, Alexander McQueen bag

The J Crew cafe capri trousers make an appearance again, this pair from last year in a micro navy and white check. I paired them with a classic white blouse, navy and white colorblocked jacket from Zara and my super chic and comfy Roger Vivier flats.

Sunday Supper - Panko Crusted Pork Chops


I love this time of year when the tomatoes actually taste like tomatoes should, the farmers markets are in full swing and the in season foods from local purveyors abound. Twice a week there is a farmer's market in Copley Square right near my office and I bought these beautiful pork chops. I was thinking of how to prepare them in a way that was simple and easy so I decided to encrust them with Panko breadcrumbs and bake them.

I seasoned the pork chops with salt and pepper then coated them with Dijon mustard and Panko breadcrumbs. I laid them in a baking dish coated with a bit of olive oil and cooked them at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes. I served them up with my favorite mashed cauliflower and local mozzarella and gorgeous red and yellow tomatoes. 

This was a really easy meal to make and it was also healthy and delicious!

Shop My Closet - Red Chanel Bag



Very gently worn Chanel handbag, red quilted leather, imprinted interlocking CC logo in the leather (see the close-up in the 5th photo)

See bag worn here and here.

12 inches long, 8 inches high, width varies (approx. 3 inches at the top, 4 inches at the bottom)

I bought this bag in early 2012 at Bloomingdales. 

New it cost $3300, asking $3000.

Email lissy@agirlinboston.com if interested.

I'm selling it because there is a new Chanel bag I want that I just can't justify without getting rid of something else.

Camilla Olson

As a blogger, I often receive emails requesting to review products or cover items that just don't fit into my own personal style. So when I was contacted by Camilla Olson, a designer who I hadn't heard of before, I went online to her website see if this would be something that I thought I would like.  Since I liked what I saw, I agreed to do a little bit on her here on the blog.

I was sent this really beautiful and airy rusty orange silk chiffon scarf. Camilla Olson's scarves are custom printed using an iron transfer process to create each one of a kind beauty. 

The scarves retail for $98 and you can find them here. She also has a whole clothing line (here are some images from her line).

 

Here's how I wore the scarf this past weekend.

Outfit details: Rag and Bone blouse, J Brand jeans, H&M trench cape, Chanel shoes, Hermes bracelet, Balenciaa bag, Camilla Olson scarf

So what do you think of the Camilla Olson scarf? I can see myself getting a lot of wear from it.
