Happy Sunday! It's not typical of me to post on Sunday, but when it's national tartan day, you make an exception.

When I'm looking for a classic tartan I reach across to our friends in England. Barbour is notorious for it's classic prints & timeless designs. Luxurious & funtional, Barbours designs are perfect for everything from city living to hunting, and that's exactly what this Alaskan girl likes to see.

While I usually tend towards Barbour International's Black Streak line, their new summer dress print is perfectly charming for spring. Clearly, I threw on some heels for this shoot, but I'll admit, most days I'd probably pair this look with  flats or sneakers.

Looking for some easy weekend basics? Invest in a few select Barbour pieces– trust me, you'll wear them with everything!

Have an amazing rest of your weekend! xo

It's commical how out of place today's look is. With Chicago's recent forecast, it'll be a while until I wear this look again, but you're gonna want to shop this spring ready trench before it's gone!

These days I do a lot of my shopping online, as I tend to be on the hunt for rather specific pieces. That said, the other day a girlfriend and I hit Michigan Ave.

I came across this trench towrds the begining of our trip, and somehow managed to talk myself out of it. However, as we made our way down the Mag Mile, I was seeing similar coats interspersed and all at $75 to $100 over the cost of the one I'd originally considered. Needless to say, I went back, and  it may be the best $29 I've spent all month!...

Cozy Neutrals

Yes, it's a rare occasion to spot D without her usual bright hues. But who can resist a cozy, wool, cable knit sweater? It reminded us of one our all time favorite movies The Holiday–as if it wasn't alluring enough on its own. While there's no denying we're more than a little excited for spring, we're firm believers in enjoying where you are in life during all seasons. So bundle up, get outside, and enjoy that crisp winter chill!
