Cozy winter coat

Wearing: snow hat (old, also love this one) / glasses with transition lenses (great for travel) / blue statement earrings / winter coat / gloves (old, also love this pair) / stripe top / holiday nail polish / black cross body bag / black jeans / snow boots (old, current version here) /

On our recent trip to Central PA, we saw snow! Yay! It was fun to see snow so early in the season, and especially being from California! This cozy coat was perfect, and I ended up wearing it every day during our trip. Temperatures during our trip ranged from the teens up to the 40’s. Now that I am back home, I find myself reaching for it often since we have had a lot of rain lately, and the temperatures have been in the 30’s and 40’s. This coat is perfect and cozy! Love!

This photo was taken after we toured the caves at Lincoln Caverns. These boots and this cozy coat were perfect for a lot of walking and staying warm. I also used my coat to stay warm on the airplane. It was perfect!

If you are looking for a winter coat that works in rain and snow, this is it! You will see me in a lot this season!

Wearing: sunglasses / statement earrings / vegan leather puffer jacket / berry hued long sleeve tee / G buckle belt / structured hobo (color on sale!) / dark wash jeans / fall nail polish / faux fur boots /

During the winter months, your jacket or coat is your outfit. It covers any tops you may be wearing, so it might as well be fabulous.

This year, puffer jackets and puffer coats with horizonal, large quilts, are everything. While there are plenty of metallic, and brightly colored puffer jackets this season, I was in the mood for a classic black version of the trend. I found this vegan leather puffer jacket with attached hand covers and fell in love. The brand is turning into a highly sought-after label, and I can see why!

The jacket is lightweight yet very warm and comfortable. Plus, the way the collar stands on its own, is fabulous. I am in love! If I lived somewhere with snow, or more cold weather, I would definitely pick this puffer jacket up in more colors! Since I am in the San Francisco Bay Area, I only need one. Our weather swings from the 40’s on up to the 70’s, so one jacket is all I need.

We snapped these pictures before enjoying a yummy lunch at Dough Zone in Cupertino. It’s a fairly new dumpling place that is very good. The Dan Dan noodle were delicious, and their soup dumplings were amazing. If you are local, I recommend trying it out! It’s so good.

Feeling spring vibes in a spring trench coat

wearing: blue and silver earrings / lipstick / black twist tee / black belt / spring trench coat / spring nail polish / Chloe bag / spring jeans / Gucci slides /

Ooooh, it’s starting to look a lot like spring over here! The groundhog was right! The Magnolia’s are blooming, white and pink tree blossoms are flourishing, and the flowers in my front yard are starting to peek out of their green buds. The sun is shining, and offering us daytime temperatures in the 60’s and 70’s. Of course, since it is still winter, the mornings are hovering in the 40’s, and at night it is quite cold. We are getting there!

It feels so close to spring! The spring vibes during the day are causing me to pull out my new spring pieces before I have figured out my spring wardrobe! This spring trench coat is perfect for cutting off the morning chill. It’s lightweight, yet heavy enough to keep me warm with just a tee underneath during our winter mornings. Then, I can take it off during the warmer hours, and put it back on when the sun starts to set, and temperatures drop dramatically. Plus, spring trench coats are a hot trend this year, so you know I will want to rock that!

As we move into spring, denim washes are getting lighter. Hemlines on jeans are starting to hit at the ankles, or be cropped. Look for styles which will show off your fabulous new spring shoes! I have not looked into spring footwear just yet, but slides are definitely hot this year. Thankfully I have my go-to Gucci slides which I love wearing every spring and fall season. They are easy to put on, and offer enough coverage to keep my toes warm. They are great for transitioning from winter into spring. Love them! This pair will definitely be in spring capsule wardrobe! Stay tuned for that. . .

How are temperatures where you live? Are you getting a peek at spring yet?
