Snow Day!!!

THE CANVAS –

Coat : Bar III ~ Leggings : Trouve ~ Hat : Restoration Hardware (on sale and love it!) ~ Umbrella : Totes
~ Gloves : Nordstrom ~ Boots : Juicy Couture (old! – could purchase here)
Winter Wonderland : Mother Nature 😉

So what is it that every little kid dreams about in the winter….pretty sure its a SNOW DAY!
Well I’ll leave little to the imagination, but that is what I got last Friday. It started snowing heavily on Thursday night and to much surprise, we woke up to 2 feet of snow the next morning and it continued to snow heavily throughout the day. With the roads being such chaos I decided to stay home and take a snow day. Normally I would just work from home (but of course our internet was down), so I thought, hey, why not take some pictures for the blog?? Of course that is what any sane person would do right?? lol
So here is my take on what a very fashionable “abominable snowman” or what little red riding hood would wear during a blizzard!

p.s. – I would HIGHLY recommend this umbrella!! It is literally the best on rainy or snowy days. Since it is dome shaped, I can bring it down in front of my face and it covers everything.

Neon on Neon on Neon

THE CANVAS –

Blouse : Forever21 ~ Gold Overshirt : H&M (old) ~ Pants : Target (old) ~ Shoes : Target ~
Purse : H&M ~ Luggage Tag : J.Crew (similar) ~ Belt : H&M (recent) ~ Necklace : Urban Blues ~
Bracelets : Forever21, J.Crew, Brina’s Boutique, Forever 21 ~
Watch : MARC by Marc Jacobs ~ Sunglasses : Michael Kors

Hello Neons!!
This look is definitely helping me get out of this cold funk that Utah has been in for the last few weeks. Zero Degrees is just not my thing!
But my favorite thing, is that I got this J.Crew luggage tag for Christmas and I thought it would be the perfect accessory for my hot pink neon purse. I have never thought about putting a luggage tag on my purses before, but it is actually quite practical and is a great way to add some texture to this bag. It is also great, because it is so versatile and can be taken on and off within seconds.
I think I might start collecting some vintage luggage tags and putting them on more of my purses!

Plaid Play

THE CANVAS –

Coat : Cole Hann (on sale!) ~ Sweater Dress : H&M ~ Scarf : Burberry (similar) ~ Boots : Forever 21
Purse : Burberry (similar)~ Gloves : Ralph Lauren ~ Sunglasses : Michael Kors ~ Earrings : Kate Spade

Man does it like to snow in Utah or what?! But at least there is the truth that it is “The Best Snow on Earth” 🙂
To bundle up for this chilly weather, I always decide to layer up. I got this coat for Christmas and it is SO warm. I love the look of it and think that it is so versatile because the giant hood can be used in a sudden snowstorm, or can be wrapped over the shoulders for extra warmth, or even scrunched up like seen in the picture on Nordstrom’s site.
I also have been loving enerything and anything that has to do with Plaid. So I decided to throw on a few of my favorite Burberry accessories to add a bit of pattern to this outfit.

Off to the Emerald City

THE CANVAS –

Jacket : Literature Noir via Flight Boutique ~ Blouse : Ann Taylor ~ Skirt : Custom Made Leather Skirt ~
Belt : Michael Kors ~ Shoes : Aldo ~ Gloves : Ralph Lauren ~ Aviators : Michael Kors ~
Hat : World Market (recent, Plum Version) ~ iPhone Case : Tory Burch ~
Purse : Tory Burch ~ Trunks : Vintage Louis Vuitton

Over the holiday break, I got a lot of time off which was so needed, but I was sad because I wasn’t able to wear any of my Christmas gift right away to work. Well I had an excuse to dress up a bit over one of the weekends and decided to evoke my new favorite trend…emerald jewel tones!

I received this Purse and iPhone case as Christmas gifts, so you know when I saw this green hat while doing errands at World Market in Park City, it was a must buy (especially since it was half off!). I paired the green with a camel color, because I thought it looked very rich with the jewel tones, without competing too much.

What would you pair this jewel tone with?
