Happy New Year

Hat: vintage, Trench: Apostrophe, Dress: AA, Tights: UO, Boots: Payless

I'm back from my 'mini vacation' and thinking about the new year. Not too deeply though.

This outfit is another result of old pieces I found in my closet at home. The trench coat is actually from high school and I haven't worn it since then because I need to get it cleaned. I'm considering bringing it back to school with me if I have room in my suitcase.

I bought way too much with my birthday/holiday money this past week including:
-a black shaggy fur vest
-an asymmetrical gray jacket
-a leopard print fur collar
-some basic sweaters for layering
-a black sweater with gold pyramid studs

I hope you all have a great new year!

Later this week my family is going on a bit of a mini vacation (while still staying fairly close to home). We'll be staying in a few different hotels over the week in different towns. Since we're not doing the "tropical winter vacation" thing I have to pack for the winter weather. That translates to: leather, fur, layers, leopard print, boots, and more layers.



p.s. Happy Chanukah!

Hat: hatsinthebelfry, Jacket: H&M, Button-down: Zara, Skirt: Bailey, Boots: Payless

It is so cold in Connecticut but so good to be home.
This outfit is actually from a little while ago but I didn't get a chance to post it until today. I'm still trying to figure out where I can take pictures in my house lol

Today I went to good old Marshall's with my mom and bought some Members Only liquid leggings ($25) and Betsey Johnson lace tights($5). The leggings are really too long for me but I'll just have to wear them scrunched up a little.

Holiday Dressing

Now that finals are done I can get back into the habit of updating my blog. The only bad thing about being home is that I don't have too many empty spaces to take pictures (but I'll figure it out).

The holidays are upon us which of course means dressing up!
Whenever I am obligated to dress up I usually find myself going for a more feminine look than I wear on a regular basis. Probably because I feel like easy dressing up = dress or skirt.
This outfit is an example of what I might be wearing for Christmas dinner at a family friend's house (even though I don't celebrate Christmas lol)

BUT considering how cold it's getting I'll probably end up wearing something furry + leather:

Skinny Leather

Beanie: H&M, Jacket: H&M, Shirt: Marshall's, Top: Bailey 44, Stockings: CVS, Boots: Payless

This is the leather jacket I picked up at H&M over Thanksgiving break. I like it because it has longer skinnier sleeves than my other ones and fits better in the shoulder. I've been wearing it every day this week but I can tell I'm going to have to upgrade to something thicker soon. I'll probably just wear it under my black faux-fur...

A few random things:

I wouldn't mind if my closet looked like this

I love macaroons

I'd like a leather vest with a big collar like this to keep me warm

Black Fur

Hat: H&M, Jacket: H&M, Top: Bailey 44, Sweater: F21, Stockings: CVS, Boots: Payless

As promised, here are the pics of my new faux-fur jacket from H&M. It's really warm and soft so I'd definitely recommend it if anyone is looking for one. I have to say, it's really great finding something that I've been wanting for such a long time.
I know this isn't the most exciting outfit, but I really just wanted to wear the jacket with things that wouldn't clash too much with the furriness.
