BLOG HOP

I haven't been involved with this in a hot minute. With good reason of course, but it is time to go a huntin' for some new blogs! Thanks for following me! Go here for the deets.

INSPIRATION | Farmers Markets

Farmers Markets. There are so many here in Orlando. It reminds me of when my family lived overseas and my mum used to get fresh fruits and veggies from the local vendors. I don't always get my produce from here (Freshville Farms is where its at); a lot of times I go here just for the scene itself. The colors of freshly picked vegetables and flowers. The Saturday winter weather, which is really like a normal fall day in the north. The smell of kettle popcorn and the taste of fresh squeezed orange juice.

Fresh.

That's what lures me to the Farmer's Market. My wardrobe is inspired by the mixture of vibrant vegetable hues and aged smells of cheeses and old wood planks and the crisp coldness of the winter morning air.

Relaxed but alive. That was my goal. A simple thermal and button up sweater, layered with a navy blue blazer and marigold yellow pants, with my trusty oxfords. An Aztec patterned scarf for texture. Never overdone. Never undercooked. It is the happy medium of a tomgirl.

The Tomgirl Series | Layers

I am already missing winter layering now that I am back in Florida. the Germans have a simple layering system which takes out a lot of the bulk and adds a lot of style. Its muggy here even though its 60 degrees outside, so there isn't much room for layering. But oh man, when that February Freeze, you better believe I will be layering it up! What about the rest of you? How do you layer during the winter months? I would love to see your post on it.

OOTD | Downton Love

Did anyone catch last nights episode of Downton? I decided to be good and wait for the PBS premiere instead of impatiently watching it online. I waited almost two years for them to make season two after being left wanting more, so I was seasoned to waiting. Anyway, sporting some antiques and new things to go along with this season's theme of clinging to the old while embracing the new.

Salavation Army Shorts
Antique Pocket Watch
Target Merona Gold Watch (Christmas gift)-- $16.99

LIFE | New Years Goals

As my valuable stash of German sweeties dwindles to nothing, I am reminded that not only do I need to get myself back into my tip top shape--which is the easiest part of my resolution this year--but I also need to step out of my comfort zone a little more this year. Now that I am officially done with school (hoo-RUH), I want to take on some personal projects that are a bit daunting as I think about it. I want to put on a local fashion show this year (O_o), I want to create a travel lookbook for my sister and my business NOMAAD (by the way, if you want to read up on my trip to Germany aside from fashion oriented things click on the link and I'll be posting pics and commentary for the next week or so--follow the blog if you like!), and I want to try to get a book published that I have been working on since I was 12.

That all being said, let me share with you some of the items I purchased in Germany for the wedding I had to attend and the NYE party. The black dress I found at Zara in Bremen and the gold and black (which is trending in Europe currently) I got at Primark in Bremen as well.

The black dress comes just to the knee, is made of a stretch cotton material, with velvet sleeves, which kept me warm during the ceremony which was on the lake. The black and gold dress came to my thigh, and I was attracted by the zippers added to give the dress a nice shape in the front.

I am back!

So sorry for no response in the last few days. I have been back since Saturday, but haven't had a break and now I am trying to shake off the lag! But I have some goodies to show you lovelies on Monday so stay tuned!
