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.

This particular outfit has been on heavy rotation since my husband bought me a beautiful sweater by Achro for Christmas (and these Levi’s have hardly been taken off since I bought them in Cincinnati). The thick ribbing and detail on the collar plus the modern charcoal grey color have made it my go-to for the more frequent chilly days. It’s the perfect addition to my collection of elevated basics–sophisticated and elegant with heels yet comfortable enough for lounging on the couch, even when your couch is currently being stored at your dusty and unfinished home renovation. I still feel totally at ease and warm no matter where I am.

  • These lilac pillow slips were my last purchase of 2019 before starting 6 months (at least) of no spending (wardrobe + household decor). I hope to better understand my spending patterns/triggers and find healthier, less expensive ways to manage negative emotions. Committing to it wasn’t easy which makes me all the more glad I did. Thank you to @insearchofcozy_ for being my inspiration and giving me the push I needed to start!
  • Last weekend I popped into a couple of my favorite Cincinnati shops, including @fernshopcincinnati where some of my original collages are for sale amongst stunning plants and the best ceramics. If you’re in the area, stop by and see Megan’s gorgeous shop for yourself! She’s been a supporter of my work for years and I’m so grateful. Also grateful that my little sister moved to Cincinnati for college almost 14 years ago and never left so I get to keep visiting 🤗🤎✨
  • Had a slow, ordinary, wonderful, much needed vacation where I barely took any photos. Missing family but happy to be home ✨
  • A few days after Apollo died, I opened a package from @charlotteswans and inside was a portrait she had drawn of him. Immediately I began sobbing, missing my sweet boy, but also so grateful to see his face which she captured perfectly and beautifully. My husband and I got it framed as our Christmas present to ourselves. It’s a gift we will always cherish. Thank you, my dear Charlotte.
  • Yesterday I posted this photo in stories but deleted it shortly after because I was embarrassed. I look angry but in truth this is my face at rest, albeit tired. Most days I look at my post-menopausal face and body and don’t recognize them, but in this moment the anger, sadness, and loathing I normally experience (which is a complicated topic) was more subdued. I liked the picture so I’m not sure I know how to articulate why posting it felt so unacceptable. Here it is again, acting as a reminder to just post the damn thing. Lately the need to be more open about menopause, something I’ve shared with very, very few people, is one I’ve felt strongly. I don’t know exactly what that looks like in such a public space, but I think it’s worth exploring.
