Cold Doesn't Have to be Ugly

Listen...if anyone gets the severity and annoyance of cold weather, it's me. Coming off my high of living in Florida for the past 3 years, I totally understand every aspect that makes winter difficult. There is the snow that makes driving difficult and dangerous, there is the brutal chilling wind that burns your face and the worst, chapped lips and dry cuticles (am I right?).Well, tragic fashion doesn't have to be part of this season. Get yourself a cute pair of snow boots, for starters. They are necessary and don't have to be tragically manly. I just purchased a pair of Herringbone Sorels that are a game-changer! Toss on a cute oversized sweater and a cute hat and you'll be a precious little snow bunny...or something like that. 

Fashion Find of the Day

While it's hard to transition into fall in a location where it's pretty much summer all year long, for those of you living up north, time for trading out your sundresses for blazers and scarves is now. I'm pretty swoon for anything floral and patterned pants of any sort. So, this fashion find above is all systems go with me. These tall oriental floral cigarette trousers are available from Topshop. Wear these pants with a blazer and blouse for the office or with a sassy blouse and heels for happy hour. 

Hammer Time

During a shopping trip with my friends, Amanda and Amanda, I did what I always do...find a bunch of pieces that are cute but perhaps hard to wear. And then I did what I also always do...my best catwalk strut up and down the isle of the dressing room, convincing myself and my friends that they are "totally wearable." A few looks of concern and "well, they are definitely 'you'" comments, I pulled the trigger. These MC Hammer-style pants are from Forever 21 and were a steal in my book. Plus, pants like these aren't going to be in style forever so who wants to empty their bank account on them? Not this cat.
