Grey Soho

Emily Farina January 15, 2018

Hat // Jacket // Scarf // Jeans // Sunglasses // Bag // Shoes

We are in the doldrums of winter in NYC and the warmth of spring seems tragically far away. The snow we got last week has melted and the city is grey, grey, grey. That’s exactly what I did with this outfit, go full steam ahead into the grey vibes of the New York streets. We had some various wedding errands to run on Sunday down around Soho. For whatever reason, maybe the cold weather, the streets were much quieter than they usually are down there. It was nice to be able to walk around the cobblestone streets and do some window shopping without having to navigate around hoards of people.

I got this grey plaid jacket on a whim, thinking that with the blue embroidered birds I would get selective use out of it. However the grey plaid is actually super versatile and find myself reaching for this coat again and again. It’s a little quirky but that’s what I like about it. With a price tag of $33 it was definitely a good buy. I did have to shorten the sleeves but otherwise I had no required alterations.

I’m a big fan of hats, always have been. In the summer I am constantly reaching for one of my straw fedoras and this winter I have been wearing my black fedora multiple times. When the weather is chilly a black fedora is a great alternative to a knit hat. Even a simple look gets elevated to trendy status just by throwing on a fedora. While there are plenty of affordable options (such as this one, or this one), you’d be smart to invest in a nicer version as this hat style is definitely one that will be around forever.

I have to give a shout out to these boots as they have become my favorite pair this winter. Jeff got these for me for Christmas and I must say he did good. The heel is low enough to wear all day but the sleek style and pointy toe make these boots still wearable for dinner or drinks. Chelsea boots are not something new so you may already have a pair in your closet. If you don't and are in the market, I highly recommend this pair from Marc Fisher. You won't be disappointed!

Is it travel time yet? Ready for another adventure ✈️
It is so important to me that pieces in my wardrobe can do double or triple duty rather than serve only one type of occasion. The garments I design for Magill are no exception. I want anything I design and sell to earn their keep in my customers’ wardrobes rather than just take up space for those once-in-a-while events. One of my favorite Magill pieces, the Denes Dress, is a dark floral midi dress and perfect for both warm and cold weather.  Today on Fizz and Fade I’m sharing two ways to style this dress both for now and later with items you probably already have in your closet -  www.fizzandfade.com
How hard is it to grow peonies? Thinking I may try my hand at adding some to our yard this spring. We have lemons, plenty of herbs and veggies in the works. How hard could peonies be? 🤷🏻‍♀️
It’s a cliche saying “a closet full of clothes but nothing to wear” but it’s so true for so many of us. We reach for the same pieces exclusively and never wear others. Then each season we convince ourselves we need more clothes so we can wear the current trends and round out our wardrobes. I definitely feel this way, so I was super intrigued by the idea of “shopping your closet”, a trending concept. The idea is you ‘shop’ your closet to create new looks vs. going out and buying more. I recently took this idea to heart and re-organized my wardrobe to exclusively feature my current picks - ultimately I was trying to create the feel of a favorite boutique and the clothes I wanted to be selecting from each day. Turns out I had a lot of awesome pieces already, no buying required. Check out my latest post on Fizz and Fade for my approach and tips to try this out yourself!

I’ve found time and time again that I reach for similar pieces in my closet. Blouses with a flattering v neckline and long sleeves always top my list of most-work items. You just can’t beat the versatility. This top is one of those pieces I selfishly designed for my own closet #mifteblouse #magillclothing #uoonyou
You guys can clearly see from my feed that I am obsessed with prints, specifically floral patterned pieces. While a bright or white ground floral can look too summery for winter, a black ground floral is perfect for adding a happy touch to cold-weather blahs. I’m partial to the ditsy/small print versions and rounded up a handful of options (all with sleeves!) that would be great additions to your winter wardrobe.

Can I spend the weekend here please? We are trying to play some golf tomorrow but it looks like potential rain in San Diego 🙄. But I’ll take it over snow ❄️ any day.
