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.

Blending Into My Surroundings

THE CANVAS –

Shirt : Forever21 ~ Vest : Costco!! (recent) ~ Pants : Old Navy ~
Booties : Spark – local boutique (similar) ~ Sunglasses : Michael Kors ~ Purse : Louis Vuitton ~
Ring : David Yurman ~ Watch Michael Kors ~ Bracelets : J.Crew, Forever21 ~ Necklace : Forever21

This was actually the outfit that I chose to wear for Christmas day! I wanted something more casual than a skirt since I knew I would be going all day, but I also wanted to show off some of my new presents from Christmas (booties and fur vest), so I opted for a Monochromatic winter white look. Of course I had to bring out my favorite pair of white pants. I think they always look good, and if you pair them with the right outfit, they can be worn year-round.
I feel like the shoes and vest were a good contrast to the rest of the outfit by bringing in a slightly different color and making them stand out, without drawing too much attention away from the rest of the pieces.

A View Like This

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.
