Mutual Admiration: Beth Kirby of Local Milk

We don't throw the word 'love' around lightly here at Coclico, it takes the singular talent of a creative like Beth Kirby of Local Milk to to make us say it. And we LOVE what Beth Kirby puts into the universe. Filled to the brim with skill and taste Beth has managed the dream of turning her passions into a living – a food and prop stylist, photographer, recipe developer, and writer. Her interest in aesthetics go beyond culinary into all worldly things as evidenced by her Pinterest account where we first fell under her spell. Her personal style is as exceptional as her unwavering commitment to slow living. We are flushed with pride to know a woman as carefully edited as this wears Coclico. Here our IRIS flat styled and photographed here by the woman herself:

It’s a tricky balance looking good and keeping warm during the winter season, but Beth is giving us hope. Although she’s based in Catanooga, TN—a slightly warmer winter average then New York—her winter uniform is one to take note of. Here, heading out for an afternoon coffee here in her IRIS flats with the Standard Bone Bag by The Common Knowledge, the perfect elbow-high leather gloves, and a cocoon coat by the talented Nashville designer Elizabeth Suzann:

There was maybe just a little excitement in our office (okay, maybe a lot) when her "Sartorial Winter" post when live on Local Milk. Her prose on the subject of time and memories took us away to thoughts of New Years past, how few really stand out and for the strangest things... In "Sartorial Winter" she pairs our MALLORY boot with warn neutral layers, a coat by Lauren Manoogian and Linn Sweater & Florecne Pant by the brilliant Elizabeth Suzann. Its easy to get caught up in Beth's world and hard to find fault with what we see.
