Staples for Winter Dog Walks

Tuckernuck Scarf (On sale! Use code “GROUNDHOG” to take an additional 30 to 50 percent off. Love a good plaid that can be worn throughout the winter. I also have this green one and love it.) / Barbour Quilted Beadnell (Also available here and here… and slightly different style here. And here’s the regular Beadnell. And here. Sizing: I wear a U.S. 4 in Barbour.) / Rag & Bone Jeans / L.L.Bean Bean Boots (Sizing: I wear a size 7.5, and took these in a 7. They’re shearling-line and SO SOFT!) / L.L.Bean Fisherman Sweater (Runs big! I’m wearing an XS here. Also love the navy striped fisherman sweater and the hooded version.) / Vineyard Vines Collar

10 Preppy Valentine’s Day Outfits

One / Two / Three

Somehow, Valentine’s Day is next week. And I don’t know about you guys, but on countless occasions, I’ve found myself standing in front of my closet–a half hour before I need to be out the door–wondering how I’m going to put together a “festive” look that isn’t cheesy. So today, I thought I’d share some easy-to-replicate outfits for Valentine’s Day–appropriate for whatever it is you’re doing. :)

Tuckernuck Sale > Super Bowl

Tuckernuck Cape (On sale! Use code “GROUNDHOG” to take up to 50 percent off. Mine’s an older version. This one is also on sale, and it’s so cute!) / Turtleneck (On sale! Use code “GROUNDHOG” to take up to 50 percent off.) / Faux Leather Leggings (On sale! Use code “GROUNDHOG” to take up to 50 percent off. I also have this $42 pair and this Commando pair and love them.) / Burberry Boots (Also love this pair, this pair and this pair.)

Mitch, Emma and I ran out for doughnuts this morning, and Mitch convinced me to throw off my coat for a hot freezing minute to snap some pics in the winter wonderland. (Do we like how my husband is a better blogger than I am? 😂)

Lately with Mitch

Mitch’s Pants c/o, Blazer, Brief Case c/o, Button Down & Penny Loafers
Emma’s Blazer, Loafers (Also love these Gucci look-alikes!), Corduroys & Shirt

Mitch here!

I’d be lying if I said that Lately with Mitch was our planned post for today, but here we are! 

Lately with Mitch would be a viable idea if A) I had a life and B:) Mitch was actually my name… but here are a few things that I’ve been into or that have been on my mind as of late:

Recent Finds, 2/2

Camel Pea Coat (Only $38! Also love the L.L.Bean version.) / Chambray Shirt / Quilted Bag (Also here.) / Ralph Lauren Cricket Sweater (Mine’s super old, but that one looks very similar. More similar sweaters here and here.) / Hunter Boots (Glossy version here.) / Skinny Jeans / Burberry Sunglasses c/o / Sony Camera and Lens

Happy Friday!

A few things today:

Favorite Sweater

Sweater (It’s available here, too. And here is it in solid pink and solid white!) / Scarf (Similar here) / Jeans (Also adore this pair.) / Coach Bag (Also love this similar one and this similar one.) / Kate Spade Leopard Pumps (But the solid version is CRAZY on sale!) / Initial Necklace /Sorel Boots (Also here and here in more sizes. They run small; go up a half size.) / Puffer Jacket

Woo-ee! With the exception of Mitch’s adorable post yesterday, it’s been quite the outfit-filled week.  Outfit posts are always a great indication of how crazy things are with the Larkins. Busy day? Outfit post. A little sleep-deprived? Outfit post. House guests? Outfit post. Bath night? Outfit post.

5 Things Mitch is Loving

Swing Top (Back in stock!) / Dark Skinny Jeans / Leopard Pumps (Solid here, on major sale!) / Emma’s Chambray Shirt, Loafers and Cords / Mitch’s Chambray Shirt and Similar Navy Blazer

Mitch here!

I’m not gonna lie to you. When I set out the write this post it was entitled “5 Things I’m Hating,” and it was about how awful everything is. Here are the original five things:

Go-To Mom Outfit

Gray Pullover / Peacoat (And here’s the $38 version that I adore so much!) / Navy Sneakers / Gingham Shirt / Skinny Jeans / Quilted Tote

“Mom outfits” is one of my most frequently requested blog topics. It’s funny: I’m very often in comfy, casual looks… but they rarely make it to the site because… I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because I assume they’re not blog-worthy? That only my out-on-the-town and nighttime outfits are? Whatever the case, I’m making a concerted effort this year to show you what I’m actually wearing to the playground, to kid-friendly museums, and on playdates!

$89 Kate Spade Pumps

$89 Kate Spade Pumps (Incredible. And they come in so many different colors!) / J.Crew New York Sweatshirt (Runs TTS. Wearing a size small here. Here’s the Brooklyn version! I also recently got this sweatshirt and this pair of sweatpants and I’m obsessed. So soft and cozy.) / Rag & Bone Skinny Jeans (And adore this pair.) / Coach Bag (Also love this similar one and this similar one.) / Camel Coat (My current favorite in-stock camel coats include this one, this one and this one, btw. And I loooove this Ralph Lauren coat in pink.) / Burberry Scarf (And here’s the snood, which totally fits adults!) / White Sandals that Emma’s Wearing (Also available here, here and here. And LOVE the Everlane version.) / Emma’s Cozy Sweatshirt and Floral Leggings

 I thought I’d just pop in here today to highlight something kind of crazy. I don’t know whether this is an error, but this pair of Kate Spade pumps–available in a TON of different colors–is currently listed for $89. They ship free, too!

I ordered them in navy suede, and they’re REAL. They’re also super comfortable and run true to size. So if you’re looking for a classic pump (and one that you can walk miles in on account of that fabulous block heel), today’s the day to invest!
