Green and blue

This is officially the most amount of color I've worn all year. I recently splurged on a MaxMara coat for spring (well, actually two coats, but that's a story for another day), and I don't know why I've waited so long to invest in better-made outerwear. This one is made of a double face fabric of wool, angora, and cashgora and is perfect for the transition to spring.

The kind folks at Everlane sent me the Petra Magazine Tote in one of their new spring colors (which will come out this Wednesday). I'm very picky and admittedly a snob when it comes to my handbag portfolio, but this is a bag of understated luxury, at a friendlier price point, that I'm excited to add to my rotation. The workmanship is excellent and it looks much more expensive than it is. I especially love the bit of slouch the leather has, since most of my other bags are very structured.

As a side note, I'm also really enjoying RGB nail polishes - from my limited experience with them so far, they seem to last much longer and are not as prone to chipping as many of the other brands I've tried (the moon manicure I posted on my ring post lasted over a week). The one I'm wearing here is 'Violet'.

And as a final camera-related aside, these photos made me realize how great the dynamic range of the Sony a7r is. We shot in direct sunlight and managed to retain all highlight and shadow detail despite the fact that the wall was white and I was wearing dark clothing.
