styling the textured coat

frye logger boots (available here), j.crew goodwinn purse (available here)

This textured coat is the latest layerable addition to my Fall/Winter wardrobe! While I've typically seen similar coats styled up a bit "prettier," I paired mine with jeans and combat boots to play against its femininity and make it more everyday-appropriate. How would you wear it?!

layers on layers

joie jacket, velvet by graham & spencer vest (similar), asos sweater (available here), dkny skinny jeans (available here), frye harness boots (available here), lauren ralph lauren newbury bag (available here)

Layering to beat the cold is nothing new, but doubling up on outerwear has become my favorite sneaky way to take on the season! Sure, this jacket works just as well alone, but throw a vest on top and you've got yourself a brand new look (and a new reason to love Fall!).

ice queen

This week has been one big, crazy mess of work, work, and more work! These shots were taken way back when I was able to relax on the weekends (read: three weeks ago). The summer girl in me decided to rebel and bare some skin in the aftermath of a blizzard. The snow has since melted, thankfully, but I'm glad it gave me some time to indulge in a mix of cozy sweater coats and thigh-high socks.

wind chill

When Weather.com says it feels like 6°, my motto becomes: the chunkier the scarf and the cozier the sweater, the better. This is what I wore to brave the windy streets yesterday along travels that included a stop at Ladurée for macarons and the Doughnut Plant for donuts. Don't ask.

dress me up in thermals

I haven't properly expressed my love for these Free People thermals on the blog, and I'm not sure any words can adequately convey the coziness. Let's just say that I picked one up in every color, literally. Now that I'm back to 6AM wake-ups, I'm all for sneaky pajama dressing, and thermal is the way to go.

Oh and remember the boots? Here they are in real life!
(Along with my freshly chopped hair - what do we think?!)

boot boot

frye harness boots (available here)

After months (literally) of searching, I've finally found the perfect moto boot! I should have known to send Mommy on the hunt sooner - she's the one who spotted these babies and made me try them on. Here they are in illustrated form on some familiar feet, but they'll be making their live debut on the blog soon! Stay tuned ;)

top it off

It's not every day you get to rock a furry headband (especially ones of Lisa Vanderpump proportions!),
which is why I reveled in the falling snow! I also got to break out the UGG gloves for the first time this year -
UGGs are just as toasty on your fingertips, who knew?

urban outfitters plaid cape (similar style here), joie sweatshirt (similar style here), ugg gloves (similar style here),
hudson jeans (available here), vintage fur headband (stolen from mommy's closet - similar style here),
frye logger boots (available here), chenille braided scarf (similar style here), calf high socks (similar style here)

The socks have crept out of the boots once again.
Since their buddies did it, they all want in on the fun! ;)

studious

Finals are approaching fast, which means I'm all about pyjama dressing.
Class-to-couch chic is my favorite style as of late.

All I need is my laptop in lap and notebook in hand to really get the party started - Back to the books!

red riding hood

This weekend we had such gorgeous weather - perfect for a little jaunt around Grandma's property, which
looks even more stunning this time of year! It's hard to believe it's already the middle of November...

A very productive weekend all around - got some good studying in and picked up two new pairs of jeans
on a shopping trip with lovey! What do you think about electric blue and brick red?? Get excited.

Now it's back to being a slave to my textbooks.
One month and counting until finals are DONE.
