Almost almost spring

Even though the first day of spring is approaching nothing in New England feels spring-like. The sky is dark with little bursts of sunlight and the wind can be unbearable (especially when you are trying to take photos). The weather is getting a little warmer but layers and coats are still needed. I actually don't hate it because I can wear all of my lighter winter accessories again like my faux fur vest {seen here} and red suede pumps {both seen here}. My "bairly louche" shirt (that's the name and I love it) by Diane von Furstenberg is one of my favorites because the detailing is so strong there is no need for a lot of accessories. So all I needed was to piled on a few of my david yurman bangles and was ready.

The days in Boston are slowly changing from unbearably cold to slightly cold and my winter wardrobe is taking a complete beating. I feel like I have worn it all a million times and then some. I cannot wait for the days when I don't have to hide my outfits under my heavy winter coats. I am hoping that the days will get warmer quicker so I can shed my winter layers. 

I also wanted to thank you all for your sweet words on my last post. It means a lot to me! XOXO

Gobble Gobble

I am so happy to be home & spend the day / week with my family for Thanksgiving (tomorrow!!). I miss sleeping in my bedroom and having my sister around me constantly.But more importantly I'm glad to spend time around others who indulge in more helpings of mashed potatoes (I think I could live off them if I had to).

I'm not lying when I say that I have been living in my faux fur vest & that I always pair it with fierce animal prints (guilty & guilty). The vest works easily with everything; from a dress to jeggings and is more than easy to just throw on and stay warm.

I absolutely hate that the days feel shorter and how it gets darker earlier. As soon as I was ready to step out for my usual photos the sky was beginning to turn to night (and it was only 4:00 pm!). I have been living in my faux fur vest {thank you Beso} and for some reason I keep pairing it with leopard (here). When I put on the vest I feel so fierce that it lets my inner animal out and draws me towards animal prints. ROAR. I was so excited when I found these stir-up tights hidden in my draw (they will be the next thing I live in.)

Beso approached me to host a giveaway on my blog which I am completely thrilled about. I have been a fan of their website for a while now since it is my "one-stop shop". I refer to it as my virtual shopping mall where I can shop a selection of brands at one location and in my comfy bed (That is where the best online shopping takes place).
