Girl Crush: Free to Be Dree

Speaking of luscious literary ladies, this beyond gorgeous gal has deeply rooted family history in American Literature.  Granddaughter of Ernest Hemingway, Dree Hemingway has made a name for herself and it may have to more to do with her looks than books.  I have a mild to moderate interest in Ernest Hemingway, so when one of my best friends indulged me in visiting the Hemingway Home in Key West back in November, we were intrigued to see family photos including those of Margaux and Mariel Hemingway, Dree’s mom.  Upon further Wikipediaing (is that a verb yet?), we discovered Dree and her sister, the equally lovely, Langley Fox.  It’s hard to believe so many beautiful and interesting people share the same DNA.

But back to my girl crush du jour, Dree.  She’s chic.  She’s understated.  She’s the girl we all wish we were.  The epitome of “Oh, this ol’ thing?  I thought I knew a thing or two about layering, but Dree could even school the Olsens!  It seems I’m not alone in my admiration of this lanky blonde’s style.  You may recognize her from Madewell’s holiday (choose your own adventure) campaign and Sandro tapped her to design a capsule collection for the brand.  With her classica all-American looks and fun free spirit, I get the feeling this is just the begininning for Dree… and there’s plenty more to see.

How To Tuesday: Lots of Layers
Written by: WhyDid | How To Tuesday,Vlog

This week is the perfect time to learn “How To” layer properly. When the weather is going crazy (hot, cold, hot, cold… make up your mind!), having all the right layers is crucial to keeping your cool.

The key is to have several layers that are all suitable for different climates and times of the day. You may start out chilly in the morning, but be roasting by lunch… and freezing yet again when the sun goes down. You also need to make sure that your layers are thin in order to avoid to looking overly bulky. Layering is really as simple as 1, 2, 3…4.

Bundle up til next time…
