Fash Friday: My Faves

Hi everyone!

So unfortunately, the holiday season is soon to come to an end, which means that we must also wave a goodbye to winter fashion. This perhaps one of the most difficult things about style for me, bidding adieu to my boots and sweaters. I feel so "Portland" saying this, but there is something about scarves and cozy that makes them inherently more chic than sandals and shorts. So without further ado, here are some of my favorite winter styles:

Plaid Scarves

Capes

Chic Vests

Dress + Rain-boots 

Stripe Shirts (love that hat, too)

Metallic accents

Trend Talk: Fur

Hello everyone!

As you have probably noticed, fur is making a fashionable entrance into the style world. Not only does it keep you incredibly warm, but it is chic as well. I love the retro-glam look of fur. It immediately makes your outfit "pop". Here are two ways you can wear fur:

Winter Layering

Hello Everybody!

First of all, I would like to apologize for not writing on my blog for a while. Clearly it is difficult for me to post every single day, so I might have to change the frequency of blog posts that I write. 

Portland is getting colder by the minute (we had a crazy cold week), and it's about time that we talk "chic winter fashion". Initially, I was under the impression that being warm and staying chic were two things that would not coincide. But over the past week, I discovered that there are plenty of ways to keep yourself from being chilly while still looking chic! The easiest way to do this is to layer several pieces together. Last week, temperatures were below freezing, and instead of opting for a fuzzy-but-not-so-glamorous sweater and yoga pants, I decided to wear a Striped T-Shirt (similar), J Crew Excursion Vest, Old Navy Trench Coat (similar, love this), a Scarf (similar), Hudson Jeans, and Hunter Rain boots. I was pleasantly surprised to see how warm I was! So yes ladies, layering does really work. 

A Late Music Monday

Hi everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving break full of food, rest, and relaxation. I apologize for not posting over break...I was in Seattle attending a seminar. 

So I suppose I'll get started off with Music Mondays. The song is called "How Can You Swallow So Much Sleep" by the Bombay Bicycle Club. Hope you like it!
