Brrrrrrr..... baby, it's cold outside...

Even though I was born and raised in New York where the winters are always white, I spend many winter days surprised at how I made it through all these years with such unbearable weather... bone chilling cold has kept me cooped up, sleeping early and counting the days until spring... but knowing that I have one week until I am in the warmth of St. Barth, I am keeping the faith... enjoy the weekend!!!

Wardrobe upgrade idea...

The last few days have been warmer than normal, but a bit damp tempting me to wear my trench coat... but since my trench coat is more suited for spring and fall, I've been racking my brain on ways to layer it for this weather... a faux fur vest won't work with the mist in the air so I loved it when I came upon the idea of layering a sweater vest over it... enjoy!!!

Hailing a cab style: Winter edition...

Holidays in the City are always beautiful, but walking in the cold sure wasn't... definitely a warm welcome back with the "higher" temps expected this weekend... enjoy!!!

Winter wear: Not your usual hat...

After a few warm days, the winter chill is making an appearance... staying warm doesn't have to be so typical... 

Fight off the cold with a look that is all your own... happy Wednesday!!!

Obsession: Toggle closures...

With winter approaching, many of us will be getting our seasonal coats ready...  I'm currently obsessing over updates to the classic toggle coat... 

Unexpected closures make the simplest of coats a bit chicer... see you Monday!!!

Winter wear: Menswear toppers...

While male hat styles are quite dapper, they can still be very chic... add a wonderful cape, flowing hair or a pop of color to keep your topper from dictating your look... enjoy!!!

Winter scenes...

Expecting another brush of snow today... gentle flakes swirling in the harsh wind, looking for a final place to descend upon... a setting for a beautiful winter scene...
