Sail to Sable Navy Tweed Coat and Navy Cable-Knit Dress c/o / Waterproof Leather Boots / Tortoise Clutch
The Larkin Family is having a bit of crazy week, so I’m falling back on fashion posts for the time being. (Be sure to enter yesterday’s $1,000 Ann Taylor gift card giveaway.) Hey! Did I mention that I finally kicked the months-long sinus infection I was fighting?! Huzzah! That’s also to explain for the increase of outfit photos. ;)
Ann Taylor Cape (And love this wrap coat), Striped Top (This is a great alternative) and Tassel Flats (And aren’t these the cutest?!) c/o / Seamed Ponte Leggings / Goyard Bag (Size “GM”)
Today, over on Instagram, I’m teaming up with Ann Taylor and giving away a $1,000 gift card! And since I know a good number of my readers don’t use IG regularly, I thought I’d hop on the blog and let you everyone know the details of the giveaway. :)
Entering is incredibly simple:
Houndstooth Leggings c/o / Beret / Softest Black Sweater c/o / Coach “Court” Bag / Tassel Flats (And aren’t these the cutest?!) c/o / J.Crew Regent Topcoat (They brought it back! It’s fantastic. Another great one is this one by Ralph Lauren. Runs a little big, so I’d go down one size.)
Remember to enter the Ann Taylor $1,000 Gift Card Giveaway
So this is exciting:
J.Crew brought back the ever-popular Regent Topcoat, and it’s currently available for pre-order!
J.Crew Cocoon Coat / Seamed Leggings / Cashmere Sweater (Also love the tunic version. Here’s the cardigan, which I wore in this blog post.) / Silk Leopard Shirt (Here’s the more affordable version, and here’s the leopard turtleneck! Too cute.) / Black Loafers (Comfiest ever! I have them in brown, too. Freaking out over this pair, btw.) / Mark and Graham Leather Bag c/o
Happy Sunday, Friends!
In case you missed it, I took on a staff writer/photographer last week! (Here’s the announcement.) Having a little help has made a big difference in my life… and the fact that she’s one of my close friends?! Well, that just makes it fun. :) I also love seeing Chicago through the eyes of someone else. If I had written this post, for example, I know I would have gravitated to the same old spots I always frequent. Cassandra, though, came up with five totally different locations. Love that!
Without further ado, I’ll let her take it away. ;)

Did you see yesterday’s home post? Now that Chicago’s temperatures are returning to form, Kelly and I have assumed our rightful position in the house, where we intend to complain about the weather until springtime. And as faithful Stuck-Insiders, we’ve also taken it upon ourselves to spruce up our place to make the next six months of “chill” a bit more bearable. Today, I’m talkin’ about artwork!

It’s no secret that we live in a tiny home. We sometimes get frustrated because we feel like we’re all tripping over each other… and over all the toys, haha. Most of the time, though, we love it. We’ve worked hard these last few years to make it our own, and it really feels like home. :)
But yes: we really need to stay on top of it or else it can become a disaster very quickly. So recently, we’ve been on a decluttering/organization mission. We aren’t getting rid of everything; we still want our place to feel inviting and warm. I suppose we just want things to reflect the stage of life we’re in, and be a bit more functional. We also want to make the seasons/holidays fun for Emma without bringing tons of additional stuff into our home!
$38 Camel Peacoat (Comes in three colors!) / $49 Faux Leather Tote / Here are a few of my favorite striped turtlenecks: this one from Lou & Grey, this one from Madewell, this one from Stateside, and this striped sweater. / Stuart Weitzman Boots (But so many more affordable options that look JUST like them: this pair from Vince Camuto, this pair from Steve Madden, this WATERPROOF pair from Blondo, and this pair from Marc Fisher.) / Similar Camel Sweater Dress, and also love this one from Madewell (!!), this cable-knit one, and this gray one.
The amazing $38 peacoat is back in stock!
Plaid Skirt (Also adore this ruffled houndstooth skirt as well as this corduroy skirt.) / Sweater Blazer (Also love this version!) / Striped Tissue Turtleneck (Here’s the solid, polka dot and leopard-print versions.) / Stuart Weitzman Boots (But love this waterproof pair, this version with a heel, and this classic pair by Tory Burch.) / Louis Vuitton Tote Size MM (Available here, here and here. Looking for an affordable brown tote? I LOVE this one!) / Emma’s Plaid Leggings / Emma’s Hunter Boots (Non-glossy here. Adult version here.) / Emma’s Little Makes Big Hairbow
The gingham pumpkins we made last year seem to be circling the web right now, which has been really exciting for us! So we thought we’d re-post this little how-to tutorial.
Handing it over to Mitch!
Kelly Velvet Dress (So warm!) / Kelly’s Pumps (Also love them in camel and navy, and in leopard.) / Kelly’s Bag (Similar here and here.) / Mitch’s Suit Similar Here / J.Crew Mercantile White Oxford (on Amazon!) / Cole Haan Penny Loafer

Hello from New York City! Well, hello from a train in the middle of New Jersey, to be more exact. Kelly and I are taking on the East Coast in typical Larkin Blitzkrieg Fashion. Our lives are still entrenched in this area, and anytime we visit, we pack way too much in. In these three days, we hope to visit with Kelly’s family, galavant around the city (Kelly loves galavanting), pack at least 15 meals into two days, and, most importantly, attend a great friend’s wedding.
