The Weather Outside is Frightful, but my Shoes are so Delightful


It's snowing like crazy in NYC and the sidewalks are covered in ice sheets, so I'm spending my night in looking for fun clothes online and blogging.  I wanted to share a quick post of my outfit today.  I'm wearing an Urban Renewal puff shoulder blouse with JBrand wide leg jeans.

I love the back of this shirt and the exposed zipper!

Worn with my KT Collection Dream Catcher necklace and my "K" initial necklace from Rafia.

My geometric brass ring from Urban Outfitters.

Deux Lux king clutch.  I was so excited when I got this bag in the mail.  I also got it in the hobo size because I love the large covered studs so much!

Jeffery Campbell Tick wedges.  I love these shoes.  They're so fun!

Ropes Course


Earlier this week we cooked dinner after work using the Vermont maple syrup we picked up on our ski trip.   I wore a grey wool mini skirt with a studded waistband from Urban Outfitters, a cream cotton shirt, and plum colored tights from Hue.

Close up on the studded waistband of the skirt.

Gold Marc Fisher heels.

Intertwined  rope necklace from Anthropologie.  I think this is a very cool looking, kinda nautical necklace and design.

Wood block ring from H&M.

The cool vintage tin the maple syrup was packaged in.  So retro looking!

Here are the maple pork chops with apples, asparagus and wild rice we made.  Everything was so yummy.   I can't wait to try the syrup on pancakes this weekend!

Slopes

This past weekend I headed up to Killington, Vermont with about 15 friends for a weekend ski get away.  I was super excited to get out of the city for the weekend and to plan fun and cozy outfits for a ski get away.  I'm not posting any pics of my actual ski outfit, because it wasn't that exciting, but I did have to post a pic of this cute moose we found outside of a gift shop we stopped at. 


This weekend I was all about comfort and warmth, so I wore a lot of warm sweaters and comfy pants.  Here I'm wearing American Apparel winter leggings in charcoal with a long, nubby sweater from Anthropologie and a grey and cream plaid shirt from AE underneath.  I also wore my Marc Jacobs duck booties and petal to the metal hobo (I'm so obsessed with this bag.  I don't think I've worn another bag since it arrived in the mail!)

Twisted metal ring by Carmen Q and double finger bar ring from Urban Outfitters.

Also wore my double thorn necklace from Mignon Faget.  I love how this necklace is so petite and edgy at the same time.

On our second day in Killington, I wore a super cute and affordable bronze stud sweater from AE with my Current Elliot super slouchy skinny jeans.  I absolutely love these jeans.  They are the most comfortable jeans I have ever worn.  The material is extremely soft.  I could literally live in these jeans and highly recommend purchasing if you're looking for "boyfriendish" jeans!!  Worn with fuzzy UGG boots.

Relaxing in my comfy apres ski outfit.

I also wore these bronze heart leaf earrings by Erica Weiner.

And my double finger stone ring I picked up from a street artisan in Soho.

Also had to post a these cute and hopefully yummy mixes I got from a quaint gift shop in Vermont.  I can't wait to make the apple cinnamon muffins and buttermilk pancakes.  We also got some authentic Vermont maple syrup, which I'll post more about later, and I can't wait to put it on the pancakes!

Mad For Plaid

My company was nice enough to give me President's Day off this Monday, so I spent the day wondering around my neighborhood and having some Mimosas and brunch.   I  wore a long plaid dress I picked up at Target while I was home over Christmas break.  I thought this could be a fun dress to experiment with and it was on sale for $12.99...can't be beat.  I paired the dress with my AE bomber jacket and Frye harness boots for my neighborhood walk.

I also wore this cropped navy hoodie underneath my jacket to stay warm in doors.

This was also my first opportunity to wear my new Marc Jacobs Petal to the Metal Hobo bag.  I'm so excited about this bag.  I love the little doves on the front and the overall shape of the bag!

Also wore my wood block ring from H& M, gold octopus ring and my gold bubble necklace from F21 (not pictured here).
