Cozy Up

Tess Giberson Sweater / Ganni Pant / Matt Bernson Loafer / Kiliwatch Paris Vintage Jacket (similar)

We all know about my obsession with knitwear, PJ dressing, and neutrals. So when I combine all three (even when it's freezing), it's an amazing mix. I'm particular about fabrics in these categories because they can make or break the outfit both visually and texturally. Each piece I'm wearing in the look above is close to a 10/10 on the comfort level. The fabrics, along with being cozy, also have beautiful texture. The designs are clean but unique. An outfit like this is perfect for everything from a day of running errands when all you want to do is sleep or a weekend brunch when all you really want to wear is (real) pajamas. Shop the links above to get my cozy look from some of my favorite boutique brands.

Corded

Alice McCall Corduroy Coveralls / Vince Turtleneck / Stuart Weitzman OTK Boots

I hate being cold, but I love the fabrics that come with winter! Corduroy, suede, velvet, wool, there's a richness to them all that adds a gorgeous depth to your look. Corduroy may bring up visions of ill fitting bootcut pants that you wore in the 7th grade, but thankfully designers like Alice McCall have found new and innovative ways to use the fabric. Love me some overalls and especially the exaggerated culotte leg on this pair! Because of the thick cord fabric, I keep the other pieces of the look very thin. A cotton turtleneck and tight suede boots are chic compliments for the overalls result in a look that is cool and easy. Shop the links above to get the look and don't be afraid to dive into your winter fabrics!

One Warm Winter

Kat Seaton Top / DL1961 Denim / Marie Turnor Clutch / Pointed Bootie

You may or may not know that it's been unseasonably warm in NY! I legit was wearing this tank in the middle of December! I'm not complaining though. It's the perfect opportunity to play with your style before having to really bundle up! This amazing custom denim shirt by the lovely Kat Seaton is a showstopper on it's own! Tiered ruffles give it a feminine quality but the exaggerated shape gives it that bit of edge that I like. To really let it shine, I kept my jeans and boots in fail proof black and added a subdued pop of color with my lunch bag clutch. Shop the links above to get the look and happy "winter"!

Minimal Gravitation

Whistles Sweaterdress / Stan Smith Sneaker / Nicholas Keith Watch / Verve Rings

Every season I find myself gravitating towards one thing or another. For this fall/winter, it's the sweaterdress. The word itself conjures up memories of appalling chunky things from the early 2000s. The good news is that it has evolved into a much chicer shape. Midi length, straight silhouette and lighter fabrics lend to it be a perfect piece that can live on its own in the fall and layer beautifully in the winter. Since I've been on my minimal kick as of late, I styled mine with a simple white sneaker, leather watch, and layering rings. Shop the links to get the look!

Saturday Series: Part X

Calvin Klein Bra / Gap Leggings (similar)/ Land's End Slippers / Handmade Ring

Nothing like a hot cup of tea and cozy vibes indoors on a cold and wintery day.  Sweater leggings (aka the new long john) and soft slippers are the perfect place to start. Keep it cool and a bit sexy with a CK cotton bra, and top things off with you favorite cup of tea. Wrap it all into one and you've got yourself the perfect, lazy Saturday. Enjoy!

Layer It Up

JOA Sweater / Vintage Denim Shirt / Liquid Leggings / Merona Socks / Topshop Sandals (similar)

The key for winter, and a New York winter at that, is layering. I started with this perfect and cozy ivory sweater over a worn-in denim shirt. It's a bit more relaxed than usual preppy combination. I switched it up once more by wearing liquid leggings (which I only suggest with longer tops...leggings do not equal pants). And finally, I threw everybody for a loop with socks and platform sandals. Sock are back on the runways again and having a major moment. These combinations add a fun element to even the simplest outfit. Shop the links above to get the look!

Overall Update

Silence + Noise Sweater / Blank NYC Overalls / Socks / Tildon Booties (similar) / Maria Black Ear Cuff

Many people have a love/hate relationship with overalls; but for me, it's all L.O.V.E.  A classic revival that continues to evolve each time it creeps back and throughout the time it sticks around. If you are an a fan, mix up your typical overall look by wearing a sweater on top! A little cropped and boxy is best so you get just that peek of the bib. A bit of a roll on the bottom, white socks, and menswear inspired booties, give you a fun, streetstyle look!

Cozy Turtles

    

Vintage Sweater (similar) / A Gold E Jeans / Asos Boots / Vintage Bag (similar) / Fossil Watch / Forever 21 Ring

On the top of my list for winter: cozy turtlenecks. I found this fuzzy perfection pictured at my favorite Patricia Field Vintage. It has a great shape that allows me to tuck it into my favorite skinny jeans for a classic look or I can keep it loose and boxy paired with mini.

I had so much fun shooting amongst these amazing leaves. The setting was perfect and I couldn't get enough of it. If you've never been in New York for the leaf-changing-amazingness, put it on your list!! The parks along the West side (where this was shot) and Central Park, of course, are money for the colors!

Leather + Shearling

[gallery type="rectangular" ids="2121,2120,2126,2119,2125,2118,2117,2124,2116,2122,2115,2123,2114"]

VEDA  Lafayette Shearling Jacket / Sun Top / Five Pant / Calvin Klein Pumps

The change in seasons always has me looking for the perfect fall/winter coat. This Lafayette Jacket from VEDA had me completely hooked. Leather and shearling are among the top necessities and all the rage for your cold weather wardrobe. If you know me, I love anything oversized, so the shape and moto feel of this jacket (with the combintation of super soft leather/shearling) made it the total package.

When I'm wearing a really awesome coat, I like to keep the rest of the outfit chic and minimal. Black, skinny leather pants and white, crepe top keep clean lines and the pop in the red kitten heel add a bit of flavor. Check out the links above to shop my look and find your perfect coat.
