{latest cravings} lets go glamping...

glamping

So, I'm pretty fascinated by the concept of 'glamping,' which is basically fancy, glamorous camping. It's partly because the word is so funny, and partly because rustic chic is one of my favorite themes to adopt when it comes to winter dressing. I know, I know, it sounds so cliche, and kind of tool-ish, but seriously - if you've ever been to Sun Valley you know - this is a real thing. Out West we were dressing this way long before Pendleton became trendy.

Anyway, I want all these things, and when I started arranging them on Polyvore, I realized they reminded me of what a fashion-forward girl would wear, were she forced to go camping with her attractive-and-woodsy boyfriend. Not unlike this shoot from GQ with Miles Fisher (except more clothed, I suppose). And yes, in this scenario that means Lulu Frost jewels, a scarf the size of a blanket, velvet slippers and a chic leopard iPhone case.

I felt particularly inspired to seek out some over-the-knee knit socks after seeing Atlantic-Pacific's post from Tahoe.

More or less, I just want to layer on as much flannel, tweed, faux fur, cable knits and down as I possibly can, then top it off with an Indiana Jones hat and some brown riding boots. Is that so much to ask, really?
