Baby it's Cold Outside

Good-Ness! It has been one chilly start to our Thanksgiving week here in DC.  I know this is a sign of what is to come, but whew!  Good thing I kept all my winter gear from when I lived in NYC - all of it will come in quite handy.  I thought DC winters were supposed to be less harsh?   

Over the years I have created quite a coat collection.  Living in Arkansas you really didn’t need more than maybe two coats.  One lightweight for rain and 'cool' days and another heavier option in the event it does get below 40 degrees.  A few weeks before I moved to New York I bought a down jacket, snow boots, a few pairs of gloves and earmuffs.  I was ready for winter!  And as luck would have it, that year our winter was one of the mildest on record – go figure.  But not to worry, it made up for it the last three winters and I wore all of them to death!  Believe it or not, you can still look put together wearing lots of layers and a big puffy coat!  

Below are a few of my favorite coats.  I have included several price points in the event you don't want to blow your budget on one.  But from experience, I have found that spending a little more on a coat, especially if you are going to be wearing it everyday for several months straight is a great idea.  Stay warm, Lovelies! 

Thanksgiving Outfit Ideas

Well Hellllooooo (Mrs. Doubtfire voice) It's been a few weeks since I've ventured here to give you all some fashion goodness.  After our trip to Florida for the Wine Festival, I jumped back into work training the person who is going to be taking over my role at the firm.  Not to worry, I am still working there, just in a different capacity.  At first I was a bit uneasy about the change, but over the past several weeks, I have realized it's actually the right move and just what I wanted!  But trying to catch someone up on your job in a week or so is tough!  Especially when it's the busiest time of the year for us.  Oy Vey!! The transition is on the down slide, so I am slowly getting my life back!  Most people know I am a planner and as organized as they come - I have mixed up two appointments this week and gone on the wrong day!  So needless to say I am looking forward to a short week next week and some time off to spend with family.  

Speaking of Holiday's.  Thanksgiving is one week away!  How it that possible!!! We decided a few months back we wanted to stay in DC for Thanksgiving.  With all of our traveling this year and always on the go, we wanted to enjoy time off at home.  My parents are coming up for the week and we are heading to my cousins near Baltimore for Thanksgiving day.  The weather here has been unseasonably warm lately so I haven't been able to wear my heavier sweaters, scarves and coats.  I am sure that will happen eventually, but I am ready for it now!! 

Below are a few outfit ideas for Thanksgiving.  We are typically low key and not too fancy, but I always like to err on the side of being a little over dressed.  You can't go wrong with any of these outfit options and a good portion of the pieces below you probably have in your closet already.  And if you don't, these are great pieces to add and good items for that Holiday wish list! xx

Good Morning!  As I type this I am sitting in a lovely little beach house in Florida.  The weather today is supposed to be in the 80's, so not sure how I feel about that, but the sun will be shining and the beach will be under my feet.  Can't complain about that.  I'll fill you in next week on what I am doing down here. . . Or you can follow me on Instagram to get a few snapshots of my weekend.  In the meantime, here are my favorite links from this week. Enjoy! xx

** Balmain x H&M collection launched yesterday - here's a peak at the line.  There are some really great looking pieces, only problem is where to find as I am sure most places are close to selling out. 

** Time to make those Holiday Wish Lists - Oprah's Favorites Things has some great gift-giving and gift-receiving ideas

** I don't know about y'all but I am still craving all that Halloween candy - Here are a few healthier options to satisfying that sweet tooth 

** Did anyone else watch the CMA's Wednesday night?  My favorite performance was Justin Timberlake and Chris Stapleton  - And if you aren't familiar with Chris Stapleton - he's dominating Country Music right now

** For all those chapstick addicts (myself included) - Here's why you might be applying more frequently that necessary 

The Color of the Season

Call it Merlot, Burgundy, Marsala or Maroon - this season the color of the moment is any of these gorgeous dark red hues.  Now, I am all for neutrals and gravitate towards blacks and grays, but this color has been catching my eye for a few seasons now and this fall I finally took the plunge and started adding some pieces to my closet.  I approached this color as a neutral, which I think has really helped me add it to my wardrobe with little to no stress and confusion.  It looks great with gray.  It's a good opposite to pinks of many shades.  Of course black and brown look fabulous with it, and you can't go wrong with burgundy and navy.  To me this is a no brainer to add to your wardrobe as the possibilities are endless.  Plus it's a classic color so you can wear season after season.  Some of my favorite pieces are below.
