What I Wore: (Cold!) Lady In Red

Dress: Anthropologie; cardigan: J. Crew; necklace: Lulu Frost for J.Crew (old--similar here); boots, Rag & Bone

Makeup: Eylure false eyelash strips; Dolce & Gabbana Perfect Luminous Liquid Foundation; Peter Thomas Roth Lashes to Die For The Liner; Clinique Chubby Stick in Super Strawberry; Essie Nail Polish in Wicked. Necklace: Lulu Frost for J.Crew (old--similar here). All photos by Izzy Hudgins. 

First outfit post in like 100 years, huh? I wore this one for the first night of Alt Summit, and these photos were actually snapped there in Salt Lake City. The very talented Izzy Hudgins took them right before I headed out to a fun party hosted by Munchkin and Small Fry. (And yes, I was cold!)

The cardigan-over-a-sleeveless dress is one of my perennial favorite winter tricks (instant way to get more mileage out of your summer dresses!), and this particular combo has become one of my go-to work outfits.

I love the flattering, fit-and-flare shape of the dress, the sweater is my all-time favorite J.Crew long cardigan, and the boots! Can we talk about these boots? I wear them constantly. They are super comfortable, the chunky heel makes them deceptively easy to walk in, and I love how they make any outfit look so much cooler than a regular pair of heels. They are pricey, yes, but they are seriously the only thing I wear anymore! 

Do you have a favorite tip for wearing warm-weather clothes when it's cold out? I'd love to know!

Okay, so yes, I got back from Hawaii weeks ago, and no, I clearly don't want to let it go. I miss the perfect weather, the way the air seems to always smell like flowers, and of course, the near-constant built-in excuse to wear sundresses. Here, on one of our last nights in Maui, we headed down to the beach to snap a few photos, then ate an early dinner on a patio overlooking the ocean as we watched an incredible sunset. I wore a new "half-maxi" dress that I'm completely obsessed with. It's super comfy, so flattering, and I love the abstract butterfly print and flowy, goddessy skirt. (Word to the wise: I did learn the hard way that its diaphanous layers are a bit dangerous when it's windy though...! Eek.) Anyway, the dress is now on major, major sale here, and if you snatch it up at this price, I'm going to be seriously jealous!

Another obsession? The foundation I'm wearing in these pictures. It's Shiseido's new Radiant Lifting Foundation and it's awesome. Lots of good coverage, doesn't feel heavy, and it gives your skin that amazing, lit-from-within thing that I'm always after. It's radiance with a capital R and it's the perfect way to keep that vacation glow going--even long after the trip is over.
