Young Frankk FW 2016

Young Frankk FW 2016

Christine Young of Young Frankk consistently designs the most beautiful and easy to wear jewelry that becomes more refined and striking with every season. I haven’t always considered myself a jewelry person, but it was Young Frankk, based in Richmond, Virginia, that helped to change my mind. The Dawn studs from a previous season are still a favorite that I reach for often, so I can’t wait to get my hands on a few things from the Fall/Winter collection. It features fresh and intriguing shapes that are never overdone, bringing that subtle considered edge to any look. The organic curves in her designs are delicate yet effortlessly make a bold statement. I’m especially drawn to the Circle Earrings, Mini Trine Necklace, and Orb Cuff in sterling silver. This is without a doubt my favorite Young Frankk collection yet.

My philosophy when it comes to getting dressed during the summer is, “the easier, the better.” I’ve always been a fan of one-pieces, particularly the comfort and ease of a black dress. In my case, loose fitting and lately more of a midi length. It’s my signature, what I feel most confident in, and the one thing I don’t think I can have too many of. I’ve been reaching for this beautiful woven cotton number by UZI again and again these last several months. I wear it all the time–to church, art shows, the grocery store, on vacation, anywhere. The dress is functional thanks to its pockets and breathable shape but not without interest in the form of the loveliest draped neckline. This setting from a recent trip (more on that soon!) made it hard not to snap a few photos of one of my favorite pieces in action. Another I added to my closet this season is the Twist Tee Dress by Objects Without Meaning, purchased via Garmentory for a steal. Temperatures won’t start cooling down here for a long while but I’m looking forward to wearing the versatile and always polished black dresses I’ve been collecting well into the fall season.

  • I haven’t felt terribly festive this year (a statement I’ve probably made for 4+ years) but we’re going to Kentucky on Christmas Day and I’m crossing my fingers for snow to put me in the holiday mood. Because of the bookstore we don’t get to take vacations or visit family often and we are beyond ready for some time away.
  • I hope new plant growth always excites me as much as it does today.
  • Sinus infection day four: dressing way better than I feel. And I promise I don’t wear this skirt every day 🙃
  • Just looking at this painting makes me feel calm.
