The day we took these pictures must have been the coldest day of the season. The air was very crisp and sun was shining. It wasn’t the easiest thing to take pictures in the cold but we still decided to go for it. The cardigan sweater I’m wearing is truly one of the warmest sweaters I have in my wardrobe. And what’s better than wearing an icy blue sweater on the chilly day? 🙂 The rest of the outfit is very much a monochrome black. I promise I’ll make my outfits brighter and lighter as the warmer days come, but for now, darker and richer shades are what I’m craving. Enjoy!

Grey with Red Accents
I might have mentioned in a few of my posts that grey, all tones of it ;), is my favorite color this season. Heather grey being the most sophisticated and elegant shade. It’s a perfect mix of multiple variations of grey; or grey with another color producing a more muted shade of a color. It really can be mixed with any other color to create either more subtle or brighter ensembles. Well, Vince always has the best neutral pieces in its collection, heather grey being one of the core colors every year.
I couldn’t have been happier when I found this grey coat on sale. The wrap style is very modern, timeless and effortless. The hat was also a part of the winter collection and I really like how well it goes with this coat and so many other wardrobe staples. Bright red sweater is a great pop of color that helps with not blending with the grey-ish landscape. My UGG ankle boots are not only made of the buttery soft leather but also have the softest sheep skin insoles. I couldn’t recommend these boots more.
Stay warm and look beautiful!

The Puffiest Jacket
February temperatures are not an easy thing for anyone to handle. This time of the year a down puffy jacket becomes a must-have. It’s hard to find the one that combines functionality and style as most of these jackets are pretty shapeless and boring. The easiest way to spice it up a bit is to go with anything but black.
The one I’m wearing is navy blue but there are lots of great options in the stores right now – grey, olive, blue, burgundy, and, of course, light colors like white and beige. Another thing I would recommend looking for when choosing your jacket is quilted silhouette and a belt. It will add some shape even to the puffiest jacket and voila – perfect hourglass body! And of course when getting ready to go outside in the cold, don’t forget a blanket scarf, hat, and gloves. Your choice of accessories is truly limitless. Stay warm!
Chalet-Chic And Ready For Winter Getaways
A full disclosure first – I have not gone skiing for the past few years and don’t, unfortunately, have it on the plans to do so in the near future. But I know a lot of you have some nice trips to the mountains coming up this season. So I figured why not do a casual chic winter look for those of you lucky enough to visit the slopes.
By all means, add more layers to keep you warm if the weather is not cooperating. But remember that colors and textures of your outfit have the right to go anywhere you do. Staying warm doesn’t have to be boring and shapeless! Feel free to spice up your look with colorful accessories and bold color combinations, like blue and purple here. You are also a lot less likely to be hit by a reckless skier while wearing bright colors – certainly an added bonus! 😉
