snow – The Fashion Canvas

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.

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.

THE CANVAS –

Sweater : Michael Kors (at the Traverse Outlets – similar here) ~ Leggings : Trouve ~ Black Undershirt : Shade ~ Boots : Frye ~ Bracelets : Forever21, ASOS, J.Crew, Nordstrom ~ Watch : Marc by Marc Jacobs ~ Sunglasses : Michael Kors ~ Clutch : Hobo (on sale!)

Well I hope all of you had a fabulous New Years! I am excited to see what 2013 has to bring us.
With the New Year came a cold front in Utah and we are feeling it. As you might already know, I have a slight obsession with fur, so when I saw this sweater, I knew immediately I must have it. I found this (plus many other great finds at the Traverse Mountain Outlets in Lehi). If you haven’t been, I recommend you go to check out the Michael Kors, J.Crew, Ralph Lauren, Coach and Le Crueset (my absolute favorite in kitchen novelty) outlet stores.

Let It Snow!

THE CANVAS –

Shirt : H&M ~ Leggings : H&M ~ Sweater : Forever 21 (old) ~ Boots : Hunter via Nordstrom ~
Umbrella : Target (similar) ~ Necklace : Ann Taylor ~ Earrings : Nordstrom ~
Gloves : Nordstrom ~ Brooch : Vintage (My Grandmother’s)

“Let it snow…let it snow…let it snow!!”
I loved pairing my bright pink Hunter boots with my black and white accessories. These Hunter boots were a great alternative to the traditional UGG or Sorel. In this case, I felt like I created my outfit around this accessory. Sometimes people think that accessories only help bring together an outfit, but in some cases (like this one), they can actually be the focal point of the entire outfit and truly be the star.
