All dressed up...

(Urban Outfitters jacket, H&M dress, Banana Republic belt, Steve Madden shoes)

I decided to do a quick shoot of this outfit I wore out to dinner the other night...can't get enough of this furry jacket, it seems to go with everything in my closet, but I especially love it paired with anything black. A heavy winged eye and tumbling black curls dress up the look, finished off with a glittery belt to cinch the waist and towering Steve Madden wedges.  This outfit is a result of one of my New Years resolutions...to get dressed up more often.  I hope everybody is having a good January!

Pins and Needles

(H&M maxi dress, Urban Outfitters fur jacket, Steve Madden wedge heels)

Finding inspiration from the one beam of light on this cold, wintery day, I decided to don this fluffy, over-sized fur jacket paired with a long maxi dress.  The outfit seemed to embody the strange mix of coldness and warmth of the season.  Without the need for accessories, this jacket has the ability to effortlessly make me feel glamourous and elegant.  The rich black of the maxi-dress provided a simple backdrop that allowed the jacket to shine.

Navy Mornings

(Via Spiga trench coat, Joe Fresh scarf, Forever 21 heels)

I was given this scarf as a holiday gift and I love how it adds a pop of color to my outfits especially in the winter when black dominates my wardrobe. I paired it with a recently purchased trench coat by Via Spiga. This coat is definitely my favorite purchase of the season, it has a beautiful silk lining that keeps it surprisingly warm. When I was looking for a new winter coat, I wanted something in a more neutral color like camel or cream or black, but all I could find in a nice style was this navy color, and I am so happy I found it! The weather was surprisingly mild so I was able to skip wearing my least favorite winter accessory, tights. I also went for a red lip which I don't usually wear but thought would look nice with the navy colors in my outfit.
I hope everyone had a great holiday and got lots of fun gifts! We will be posting pictures of ours soon.
