Have you ladies heard of a new-ish a shoe brand called Respoke? They take vintage scarves and make them into espadrilles! I popped back into Boyds today to show my boyfriend the new renovations they just completed (the best way I know to get an architect to voluntarily go shopping), and was fascinated by these! Made from vintage Hermès scarves - does anyone know the name or year of production of this one?? Of course I had to take them home. There was also a photographer from the New York Times taking pictures of the new opening, and she was taking pictures of me trying these on. So everyone keep an eye out for my feet getting their 15 minutes of fame in the NYT! [emoji23][emoji23]IMG_8323.jpgIMG_8324.jpgIMG_8325.jpg
I also had to try on these hot pink matte croc Nancy Gonzales pumps for fun. IMG_8326.jpgIMG_8327.jpg
 
The scarf on the shoe is Bolduc au Carre. These are adorable! Look so good on you!

Thanks for the compliment about my jean jacket and scarf. Just doing the math here and I realized that the jacket is 15-18 years old at least! Does anyone remember Loehmanns? That is where I found it. I think it was about $30
Thank you! Did a quick google, and from what I see this is a scarf H still makes, and has made for many years in different cw's? I remember that store! I think I got some of my Juicy Couture velour tracksuits there back in the day!
 
Wow, I’ve missed a lot the last couple of days! But I love to see this thread moving quickly.

I am obsessed with this look!! What a fun way to dress up and put your own touch on a basic jean jacket. I don’t actually own a jean jacket, but will probably order an inexpensive one from the Gap soon!

I know I said this in a thread over on the Chanel forum, but this pink is just gorgeous! And it looks perfect with your kimono!
Thank you cafecreme15. :heart::heart:
 
I remember Loehmanns, GK! And I too LOVE your denim/fur/silk combo, looks fabulous! Cafe, those shoes are adorable, but I really [emoji177] the hot pink ones. [emoji57]

DH was supposed to take the boys to Jamaica on Thursday morning, but by the time we got to Tuesday he and I were worried about the trip happening because of the storm. Fortunately, they got down to Miami Tuesday night and over to Jamaica on Wednesday (and thank goodness because the Thursday flight got cancelled).

So I have had a guy-free house this week. You'd think I'd be posting more here, but my mom has been living with us for two years and I actually never get to spend time with her. While I'm running with Jack she runs with Luke (DS2) and then when I'm home I'm either hanging with Luke or doing something with DH. So we have been spending some really nice time together - mostly catching her up on "This Is Us" (we were snowed in) but also some dining out and shopping and Luke's parent-teacher conference (whew, MUCH better than the last one! [emoji28]). I have also had some time to hang out with my 'dangerous' best friend, too. In the meantime DH taught the boys to scuba dive and apparently they have both really taken to it (thank goodness, I don't even like the deep end of the pool). So not much TPF for me.

Now that it's spring I need to change my skin routine. I prefer La Mer for winter. Just bought some Dr Gross products but not convinced. I need a REALLY good eye cream, too.

By the way, I am in LOVE with the Marajo hair products (Sephora), especially the pre-blow dry serum. No more frizz, no more Jewfro!!!! (Yes, that's a thing.) my hair is not weighed down either, it's just right.

So clever and so pretty! BaC design was around in 2007, I think it looks it looks great as shoes.

I also have to say if you resisted those pic NG shoes your are a stronger woma than me, they look totally fabulous on you

I loved Loehmanns.

How nice to spend extra time with your Mom. DD and I spent a few days together this week too, even went snowshoeing!

I like dr gross neck cream, don’t know the other products. Check out the caudalie resveratrol super soft day cream. I love the texture. My aesthetician recommended their premier cru eye cream, so I’ll report on that soon.

Got a sample of Lancôme concealer and loved it. And Blur liquid makeup foundation: great texture. I’m getting more of both of these.

A quick fly by - @Dextersmom - gorgeous mini - I love that colour and it suits you beautifully

Cafe - love the espadrilles but those pink NGs are TDF. Btw, the brand Respoke is founded/faced by the guy who wrote Bringing home the Birkin.

I picked up some tulips at the farmers market yesterday and they look so pretty in the sunshine at bfs place...Spring is here, warmer weather will be here soon and good things are anticipated....

Happy Sunday!!

Thanks so much, Moma. I got the Dr Gross starter set with two weeks worth of alpha beta peels, a morning c-collagen gel and night cream. I also bought their gel eye serum but I do not like the way it feels, it feels like my skin is dry! Let me know about the Caudalie cream. [emoji1374]

I got a sample of primer by Stellar and I love it.

I knew I'd heard of Respoke before.
MT....brings back memories.

Both good ideas, thanks Grace. I don’t own a jean jacket, but I can imagine how a jean jacket would bring in just the casual look to tone down the scarf. I actually do not own anything at all in jeans material, it’s hard to explain but just doesn’t feel like “me”. I will experiment on what I do have, such as a simply cut and fitted wool blazer.

Another non denim owner here
Totally understand

Wow! One of the most useful things I own. Love putting pretty brooches on it too You can have a lot of fun with it
Me too, gracekelly. I own 5 denim jackets (not including my denim vests) that come to mind, in different washes, fits, embroidered, etc. I wear them often. Random side note, but did you know that when I type in gracekelly, my autocorrect changes it to gracefully? :smile::heart:
