Winter Fashion 2009: Vineyard Vines

I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving. Here at Casa Château LeBarron, we're already decorating for Christmas! Now that the holiday season has officially started, why not kick it off with some winter fashions? The good folks over at Vineyard Vines are ready to indulge us. Just take a look at some of their promotional materials...










So cute.


Disclaimer: I'm still reeling from all the turkey I've consumed over the last few days (not to mention bogged down in preparations for finals), so I'm feeling a bit uninspired. I'll let you create your own commentary. Here are a few templates to get you started:

I [emotion] this [noun].

The [noun] of this [noun] is [adjective].

What a [adverb] [verb] [noun] [punctuation]

[ARGYLE!] I kid, I kid. This is an argyle-free post.

Fall Fashion 2009: Vineyard Vines

So, I was going about my business yesterday (dealing with school, running errands ... the usual) when I went to get the mail and what did I find but the holiday Vineyard Vines catalogue. That's when it hit me. I really need to get that VV post up. It was like a sign from above! Or the VV marketing machine. Anyway, here it is (let's forget it's long after the week and a half I said it'd be, mmkay?).

Speaking of marketing, I'm taking a marketing class right now, so let's pretend that's the reason I love to look at ads and promotional materials.





Vineyard Vines makes me wish it was summer. But they do have some great fall looks.



Whale Embroidered Corduroy Skirt



Even in the picture this corduroy skirt looks soft. I love the bright colors popping against the navy.


Rope Plaid Tiller Skirt



Cute nautical twist on a traditional plaid.


Compass Rose Cami



I have a vision of this adorable camisole layered under a fall must-have: the solid cardigan.


Micro Gingham Madeline Shirt





Typically, I'm very wary of ruffles. I'm not overly girly in my personal style, so I tend to shy away from frilly ruffles. But, I really like the subtle ruffle detail on the cuff.


Harpin Ruffle Shirt



See above for the ruffle discussion. Again, I like this ruffle. I know these ruffled button downs are a bit trendy these days, but I'm OK with this one. It's not too overpowering. I also really like the color combination on this shirt.


Galley Hoody



Comfy.


Fair Weather Fair Isle Sweater



Great color combination. Love the anchors.


Vineyard Vest



I saw this in the catalogue. It looks so soft and warm.


Ship Shape Toggle Cardigan



A nice, thick cardigan. I like the wide collar.


Nor'Easter Jacket



This is a great jacket. It's been raining so much here the last few days that I've come to love it even more.


Long-Sleeve VV Sails Pocket T-Shirt





Just a T-shirt. But I like it.


It's that time of the Vineyard Vines post where I trot out all the gorgeous men's shirts. Enjoy.

Holyoke Gingham Murray Shirt




Brett Plaid Murray Shirt



I love how VV doesn't let a little thing like "fall" get in the way of bright spring colors.


Oak Plaid Tucker Shirt




Fleece 1/4-Zip




Puffer Vest



Ahhh, down.


2-Tone Nor'Easter Jacket



This jacket makes rainy days seem so much better.



It was worth the wait, no?
