Leaf through the charm of the Spool No. 72 Holiday Catalog…
Don’t know Spool No. 72? You can start by reading this post I wrote a while back, where I fell in love with a dreamy, green, kimono sweater. In more recent news, Spool still stocks their unique collection in addition to vintage and one-of-a-kind pieces, salvaged from around the globe. Right now, they’re also featuring an amazing selection of picks filed under Twenty For $20 – that’s right; (way) more than twenty items, some originally retailing for upwards of $140!
My fave (obvy) is for sure this roomy, boho-chic, ‘Wanderer’ Leather Tote, (a $158 value) handcrafted of supple Italian leather exclusively for Spool No. 72. In addition to a back outer zip pocket, there are three more inside (one zip, two pouch) and an optional longer strap for transforming your tote into a shoulder bag. I’m personally digging the oh-so-relevant fringe and retro yet functional hardware…you in?

The designer Rachel Comey and her boyfriend, Sean Carmody, are two months away from having their first child, and the mom-to-be is bumping up her wardrobe accordingly. “The maternity trend seems to be not buying any clothes,” Comey says with a laugh. “That excludes the flea market, because it’s been fun to shop and try on shapes that I wouldn’t normally try on now that my body is so different.” Comey, who is known for her flirty prints and cool shoe designs, transformed a thrift shop cat suit into a pair of cool trousers. Day wear has become jumpsuits, overalls and stretchy knits, especially knit dresses paired with a sharp tailored blazer from Ellsworth for a more defined shape. “With my changing body and changing lifestyle, I am also changing my need for clothing to be practical for a woman’s body at any stage,” she says. We are looking forward to see how this new sensibility plays out in Comey’s next collection. Great expectations indeed.

I realize that this is a ton off stuff, but I felt that it worked best as a collection – indulge me. Amongst the must-have items this season are tuxedos and tailcoats for women (love). “Tailcoats can be worn with a long skirt and a lingerie-inspired top,” says Ann-Sofie Johansson, H&M’s Head of Design. “Or over a feminine dress, or even with jeans and a T-shirt, glammed up with bright red high heels.” Ann-Sofie says that details are key; “Hair accessories add a special twist this winter. I love the sequin and feather accessories, and there’s also a lot of beautiful jewelry.” I would have to say that I wholeheartedly concur.
