Oops. Totally forgot to hit publish last night when I put this post together, but I actually have two blog posts going up today! This morning, I’m sharing an impromptu Valentine’s Day photo shoot I did with Emma yesterday, and then this afternoon, I’ll be sharing the story of how Mitch and I met.
J.Crew Coat (Sells out quickly, but if you’re looking for a new coat to get you through the rest of winter, what a steal!) / Lysse Leggings (The suede ones sell out quickly, but Tuckernuck’s version is on sale! Also considering trying this leather pair.) / Stuart Weitzman Boots (In navy here.) / Julie Brown Clutch c/o (Julie Brown is also available via Nordstrom Rack, Amazon and Last Call.) / Resin Necklace c/o (Similar here) / Diane von Furstenberg Sweater c/o (Sold out, but I love this similar navy turtleneck as well as this sweater and this sweater. And have you seen Tuckernuck’s turtlenecks? Swoon.)

I mentioned this last week, but my family came to visit this past weekend! My parents, Grammie and cousin flew in on Friday, and on Sunday, Mitch’s family joined us for Emma’s baptism. I’ll share photos from that soon, but in the meantime, I thought I’d share a few point-and-shoot pics (this camera!) from Saturday.
Today will be a short post, as Emma is being baptized and we have friends and family coming in. :) But here are this week’s “Recent Finds”!
Oh! And don’t forget: Tuckernuck is having a huge sale right now. Use code “NEWSFLASH” to take an additional 25 percent off the sale selection. It’s a lot to wade through, so here are my picks!
Find it at Nordstrom, Zappos, Bloomingdales or Saks
The Burberry Snood is BACK! I’ve written about this a few times, but it’s 100-percent the way to nab an amazing Burberry scarf for a fraction of the price of the classic one. The snood is marketed for kids, but it works JUST as well for adults. I love mine and wear it constantly. Find it at Nordstrom, Zappos, Bloomingdales or Saks.
Canada Goose on sale! (Use code “NEWSFLASH. Runs true to size.) / Other products in these photos: Hunter Boots and Socks, Sorel Boots (Also here on SALE!), Burberry Snood (Also here and here; scarf here), Rag & Bone Jeans, Patagonia Sweatshirt, Burberry Boots (Also here), Oversized Camel Scarf & Sam Edelman Booties
As you guys know, Tuckernuck is my favorite retailer ever. The looks are incredibly polished yet easy to pull off: something this new mother really appreciates. Right now, Tuckernuck is having a flash sale, and I can’t get over the selection. :) Use code “NEWSFLASH” to take 25 percent off the sale section, which includes ladies, gents, kids and home.
How amazing is my new suitcase? Thank you, Very Troubled Child!
Today, I’m answering a question we get very often here on Kelly in the City:
Helene Berman Wool Coat (And LOVE this similar one! This J.Crew one is a fave, too.) / Gray Twist Top (So many other favorites from Gibson below!) / Burberry Boots (Also available here. Love these, too.) / Rag & Bone Jeans (And these are my favorite jeans of all time. They come in black, too! And these are new!) / Coach Bag (No longer available. But I love this similar bag and this similar bag! And side note: Tuckernuck makes a more affordable version of the Clare V. clutch. Grab it!) / J.Crew Headband
I hear that there’s a crazy snowstorm headed for New York today, so what better time to share some snowy pics from last week?
Wait: I have a lot more to say, but before I start, let’s just talk about this twist top for a hot minute. I picked it up a few weeks ago, and it’s been on constant rotation. (I wore it in black here, in case you want to see!) It’s almost like a mix between a sweater and a shirt, and I find myself reaching for it whenever it’s clean, simply because it’s ridiculously soft and cozy and passes as something fancier than it really is. ;) I don’t know about you guys, but I’m just about fed up with winter, and a top that makes my chilly days even the teensiest bit nicer is a winner in my book!
Pottery Barn Kids’ Crib, Dresser and Bookshelf / Restoration Hardware Sheets (But we also have this set and love it!) / Birch Lane Gingham Rug / Giraffe, Chicago Skyline, Seal and “Twinkle Twinkle” Prints c/o Minted / Pottery Barn Kids’ Crib Skirt, Changing Pad Cover, Quilt (Great deal here!), Mobile, Lowercase Letters / Pier 1 Chair (Ours is an older version but I love the newer one!) / Other room details at the end of the post
If you’ve been following along with this blog for a while now, I’m sure you wanted to kill me last summer, since pretty much all I did was stress about whether the nursery would be done in time for the baby’s arrival. SO sorry. The nesting instinct was very real for me, haha.
Camilyn Beth Dress c/o (Mine’s actually an older version, but I love the newer one! I’ll be wearing it in navy on the blog soon.) / Clare V. Clutch (Love this version and the Tuckernuck version.) / Salvatore Ferragamo Pumps (Flat version here) / Faux Fur Jacket (Sells out quickly, but I love this one, this one and this one!)
Hi friends! I know that this post was supposed to go up yesterday afternoon, but things got crazy quickly. ;) Emma and I shot with my friend Cassandra in the morning; my mother-in-law arrived in the early afternoon; I had a work session at a local coffee shop in the actual afternoon; I met up with Kira and her parents for coffee in the late afternoon; I had dinner with Mitch, Emma and my amazing MIL in the early evening; and I ended the day with Paint Nite (and Mitch) at Glascott’s Groggery in Lincoln Park. (SO much fun. A ton of photos coming later this week!)
Phew! But back to the point of this post:
Morning, guys! How was your weekend? The Larkin fam had a great one, but I’d be lying if I said I’m not exhausted. It’s currently Sunday night as I’m writing this, and I’m choosing zzz’s over the blog post I’d scheduled to get up for Monday morning.
But my mother-in-law is headed up to Chicago to watch Emma for the day, so check later in the afternoon for the content that was supposed to go up. For now, please enjoy a little Emma cuteness, which I captured yesterday after nap time. And be sure to check out yesterday’s “wish list” post, Saturday’s “Week in Review” post, and Friday’s “Emma Celebrates Six Months” post. :)
To bed!
A good yellow anorak is hard to find.
Mitch insists that I start calling this series “Fresh Finds.”
“It’s playful alliteration! ‘Recent Finds’ is clumsy at BEST.”
Okaaaay, Mitch. ;)
So here we go!
