Habitude, by Third Street Habit

Pretty Mama

Earlier this week we had a fashion playdate with personal shopper extraordinare, Carly Walko. Carly is a full-time Mama, fashion blogger who breaks down trends with ease and grace, and all around super sweet gal.

Fashion obsessed since her tween years, Carly adores helping women find that perfect outfit or accessory that makes them feel their absolute best.  ThirtySomethingFashion is her space to celebrate mommyhood, her ever increasing age, and ever evolving style. Stop by and join in the fashion conversation. 

With busy Mamas everywhere in mind, Carly picked out a few of her favorite in-shop looks - and she lent her modeling skills to boot!

spring into action

For the past few years, Nicholas K has managed to create the coat of our (seasonal) dreams - one that is gorgeous & versatile, urban & enduring in style. This season our coat crush is the Dresna - with easy button and zipper closure, a swinging cut, dramatic hood/collar, and leather cinch detail throughout. love.

featured with J brand cargos, Antik Batik booties, and oversized leather bag.

But! Several styles of NK sweaters arrived as well, each with flattering layers, practical pockets (important, no?) and several unfussy draping options. Shown with J Brand denim, vintage knit bag and Nicholas K oversized leather tote.

a (dream) week's worth of wares

The Shopis officially filled with incredibly versatile pieces for Fall & Winter! We thought we'd show them off in a week's worth of lustworthy outfits.

Black Knits

We could live in both of these pieces! The Katie Dress by Iro has a soft structure that makes it comfortable and a great piece from day to night. The oversized sweater dress by Eternal Child kind of makes us want to jump up on down on the bed and start a pillow fight. Paired with a lightweight and roomy canvas bag by Leigh & Luca.

 

Blue Print

Both of these looks are long and lean, and in the blue & charcoal palette that we will never stop loving. Ever.

Society For Rational Dress nailed the Fall Maxi Dress trend with this flattering scoop neck version. It's comfortable, not overwhelming in weight and amazingly flattering. Paired with a nubby little vest by Rodebjer that, so far, seems to go with absolutely everything we try to pair it with. On the right we have the classic cool leather jacket by Line, paired with the only blouse ever that could be described as both "pretty" and "leopard print". Finally, check out the new jewelry styles by Low Luv X Erin Wasson - especially the shark's tooth bangle that comes in silver and gold. I mean, come on.

 

 

Fall Florals

We needed a break from describing all of the great 'military' pieces in house (but we'll probably get back to it next week) so this army green top by Iro falls into the "florals" category for now. But, it's really comfortable and the coloring is great. Actual floral scarf is by Antik Batik. The boots and leather satchel are soft and chocolate brown, slightly rugged but still feminine.

Floral dress is by Rodebjer. The print is vibrant and the cut of the dress is very clean and works well alone or belted.

 

 

Like what you see? Stop by the Shop, we are open every day. Or give a call and we'll give you more info and pictures. Or, check back next week, when we go live with the online shop!
 

move with me

Our first shipment from brother/sister design duo Nicholas K is now in house - full of texture and movement and feminine draping. Each style manages to pull off 'statement piece' status, with easy of wear and comfortable, natural fabrications.

Favorite styles include the Lars Vest (above left) in black wool, with leather strapping and removable faux fur vest. The Atlas Sweatshirt (above right) features double draping and zipper detail at the cuff.

 

The Teller Dress (above left) in chiffon features exposed back zipper and a pretty v-neckline. Finally, the Hermie Trench (above right) features a drawstring & zipper closure with gunmetal grommets lining the hood and pocket. This is easily the sickest field coat we have seen from any designer this season, and promise to post more pics soon!

lovely and amazing

 

Call it nesting, call it spring cleaning (if only...), but for the last few weeks painting, building & collecting for the shop interior. I found a great number of treasures on Etsy, including this incredible illustration by Mizaru out of Australia. Comprised of pencil, pastels and spray paint on heavy weight paper, my lady of the sea (as we've dubbed her) is haunting and so chic in her English blazer with coattails. Inspiring for any season.
