Hello, spring

2
It’s the first day of Spring! Open arms to the promise of longer, warmer, sunnier days. Is your closet Spring ready? I’ve put together a little list of styles to help guide you to smart, trend right purchasing for this season transition. 

1. Orange is the new black.
T
his fiery hue has been spotted all over spring 2014 ready-to-wear shows from clothes to accessories. (Style shown from ZARA)

2. Boxy, cropped jackets and collarless coats.
This boxy, cropped silhouette can come in a plethora of prints and textures to pair easily with trousers or your go-to jeans. Timeless and comfortable. (Style shown from ZARA)

3. The shift blouse.
Almost like a dressy version of a T-shirt but much more sophisticated. Have fun with extra details like prints, textures and varying necklines. Look for styles with a near-elbow-length sleeve in a boxy silhouette. Both flattering and versatile. (Style shown from ZARA)

4. Black & White. 
The combination of black and white is proving it’s staying power. From head-to-toe black and white or a striped T and floral skirt. (Bag shown from J.Crew)

5. Tea-length skirts. 
This ladylike hemline is all over the marketplace. Pair it with a cropped top to offset the length or try it in a sleeveless dress (keep it modern and sexy by showing some shoulder with this dress length). This style is between a midi and maxi length and is it for spring. (Style shown from Topshop)

6. Because every girl needs a pair of Prada sandals. 

Color :: Soft springtime shades reigned throughout 2014’s spring fashion show collections. Different colors from pink, purple, green, coral and blue. Fortunately you won’t feel like the Easter Bunny if you wear it. Have fun!

12 days till Christmas!  Here to help all you procrastinating shoppers I’ve hand selected 12 beauts for this years Holiday Hot List.  A good wool blanket should be on everyones wish list, along side some hot cocoa and a bottle of schnapps. You can never have too many time pieces and this Olivia leather strap watch has a fresh look for your collection. Leather jackets are coveted pieces but have you ever seen a down/leather hybrid?!? Wear it over this Madewell plaid shirt or dress it up over a cocktail dress. 

I’d take any and all of the above personally. Wink!

Wright this down | Camptober

Portland’s local shops and beautiful weather are flaunting some serious outdoor vibes. Camptober mood board to inspire!
Jeff and I spent last Sunday drinking champagne at Clyde Common, liquid chocolate at Cacao and wandering the new Union Way alley Across from the Ace Hotel. This promenade houses a collection of shops worth visiting… Will Leather Goods, Danner, Steven Allen and Marine Layer. Karen Zack who works at Danner was rock’n the Tramline boots that are now on my christmas wish list. Mountain to street perfection!

Wright this down | R29 Shop

Did you know that your favorite independent fashion and style website Refinery29 now has it’s own shop? R29 shops for you and sends it straight to your inbox and have for the past year. They served up a glorious smorgasbord of vintage pieces a month ago when I swooped these tropical printed pants up. 
 
Jeff’s birthday lasted a whole week and ended with a bbq in our newly renovated backyard. A big thank you to our friends and family for celebrating this wonderful man with me.

being that this is one of the last days to place an online order to receive in time for Christmas, I thought this might help for all you procrastinating shoppers. doubtful most of you care to have a shih tzu printed on your iPhone cover (crazy to think one wouldn’t), this website does carry other furry friends to cover you. cords are evil, this ion lamp makes messy plugs easy on the eyes. couple portrait #7, you really should be #1. This gift item might have to carryover to a valentine hot list. 
I’d take any and all of the above personally. Wink!

Wright this down | Portland’s Bazaar

Last weekend Jeff and I visited The Portland Bazaar featuring Portland’s creative community held at the Sandbox Studios.

Asos boots  |  J. Crew Buffalo Check Jacket (old but similar)  |  Madewell Pullover (old but this one I fancy)

I was looking forward to dragging Jeff to this bazaar. I visited it last year and was hoping to find some great gifts again, unfortunately the product and vendors were almost an exact repeat of last year. The fun part was having a male with me this round… it’s amazing I didn’t notice the Butchery & Charcuterie Chop last year… [eyebrow raise]. He also found himself a manly Dopp Kit I’m handing over to santa to stuff into his stocking.

Wright this down | Wants at-a-glance


Dress | Sunglasses | American Flag Sweater | Necklace | Handbag | Bootie | Jeans | Scarf | Moccasins | Sweater | Backpack | Life Notebook | Coat | Heels | Lipstick

I tend to get season happy which means style craving overload. 
Crushing on these pieces currently. Bad habits need to be broken so this year I’ve created a folder to house photo’s of styles I’m currently fancying then glancing at them from time to time before making any decisions on the splurge. Basically by the time I go back and look at the item I’ve exhausted the excitement. It totally works. Well, not 100%, I did just buy the sunnies, from eBay though!

Exciting weekend ahead || Fashionxt, solestruck parties, corn maize, pumpkin patch… fall has arrived.

ABOUT THE BLOG

Wright for Michele is a Portland based lifestyle blog devoted to cultivating stylish, relatable and creative content. It also serves as a personal time capsule of my family’s journeys, giggling and stumbling a bit, through it all.

I started "Wright for Michele" back in 2010 as a creative outlet and to share the things I love (basically the exact same reason the rest of the internet started blogging). Often this blog is about family, sometimes it’s about style, and in general it’s about life and how you (and me) can make every single area in it, better. It’s simple, it’s real (sometimes a little raw and almost always full of grammatical errors), it’s honest and hopefully no matter what it’s a little sweet.
