Cold Spring
Mint Main - 2 years ago - Kathryn Lovell
“One swallow does not make a spring, nor does one fine day.”
Aristole, 384 – 322 BC
| You can fool me once…okay, maybe you can fool me three years in a row, but not this year! This year I am determined not to be tricked by false spring weather. One warm day will not see me swapping over my closet. Or skipping off without a jacket, making grand plans for picnics and cocktails al fresco. But, you also won’t find me cursing the arctic wind while waiting for the bus. I will beat the weather at its own game. Give me glorious sunshine paired with near freezing temperatures and I will respond with sensational jackets. Oh, the sweet style of victory.

Spring Green  As I’m imaging fields of hyacinths and daffodils, I need a jacket to go with them. I can be vibrantly camouflaged in bright green.
|
Flower Power  Move over, flower market. This coat is way more fun than a bouquet. It will look festive draped over a chair and outlive any flower arrangement.
|
Shower Proof  You’ll be singing in the rain in a 1950s-esque trench coat. This musical number will remind there is a season when the only umbrellas in your life come with a drink.

Valentining
Mint Main - 2 years ago - Kathryn Lovell
“Unmentionables – those articles of ladies’ apparel that are never discussed in public, except in full-page, illustrated ads. “
Changing Times
| With Valentine’s Day fast approaching heart shaped everything is everywhere. And whether you have a sweetheart or not, it’s the perfect time for some non-chocolate indulgences. Think outside the boudoir with some upgrades to pieces that your mother would approve of (and be able to identify). And when you do meet that wealthy somebody with EU citizenship, you’ll know what to pack.
|
Slippers  Everything is better with marabou. Brushing your teeth becomes an event when you wear boas on your feet. Laundry becomes a Bridgette Bardot-esque adventure. Flaunt your pedicure and sashay around in fancy slippers.
|
Robes  There is something so wonderfully “fetch mommy a whiskey sour” about a glamorous robe. Channel your inner Norma Desmond or Phyllis Nefler and swan about your home in one. You might even be ready for your close up before coffee.
|
Chemises  Who says pretty and practical never meet? A gorgeous femme fatale chemise can double as a slip under dresses…or a trench coat. When your building fire alarm goes off in the middle of the night, you’ll have your outfit.
