Embrace the Cold

Embrace The Cold

…or at least know how to deal with it

Winter can be brutal, but I refuse to lock myself inside.

 I'd rather bundle up and spend a day off exploring Philly.

I did exactly that when a few inches of snow

 got me out of classes for the day.

The key to surviving winter is to layer… and invest

 in a thick faux fur coat that makes you

 feel like you should be in Aspen or Moscow.

Then find a warm pair of faux fur boots that can

withstand the snow and slush. Also, they add a bit of

edge to your look. It's a win-win!

Cool & Casual

Cool & Casual

Over the holiday my family and I went to the Philadelphia Christmas Village, it was great if I had gotten this up sooner

 I'd say go, it is now closed -- there's always next year!

I wanted to keep it casual but still have some fun with the look.

Denim blue jeans, for me, are central to a casual and effortless look; add a pair of ankle boots like the pointed ones I'm sporting to take it up a notch. 

For the top, I went for a pajama-inspired top its casual in the right ways (loose fit, comfy, easy to work with) but still 

looks put together. Throw on a long trench style jacket to tie 

the look together. 

I love this jacket because it can be dressed down or up.

 It keeps me warm without the bulkiness.

Handkerchief

Handkerchief? 

I have been on the fence about using a handkerchief/bandanna 

(which ever you prefer I have gotten into some heated discussions over the correct term hahha) as an accessory. I have seen some people pull it off very well and others not so much. But I took a chance! and I really liked it. It will probably be a summer trademark for me when I don't want to be bother by necklaces.

Since I was being a bit bold with that I wanted to keep the rest of my outfit simple. Insert black shorts, purse, and my fave cut-out boots. To make the handkerchief stand out I went with a cream colored knit sweater that I distressed a bit.  

I don't wear this shirt often because it fits weird but I thought the distressed knit would add a nice touch.
