TRENCH//PURSE//BRACELET//FLATS//CANDLE

Today is my birthday, so I put together my dream birthday wishlist. A trench is a wardrobe essential and this Burberry one is iconic! A Chanel flap purse is a classic and I love the look of this vintage one! I have been lusting after the Cartier love bracelet for it’s minimal look for ages! These Aquazzura flats would be great for Spring and Summer. And, this is vanille candle is my absolute favorite!

Happy New Year! Because of the unseasonably warm weather, we have yet to have any snow in NYC this winter. However when I was home for the holidays, it snowed and we even had a white Christmas. It was nice to finally get outside, enjoy some snow, and gave me an excuse to wear my new winter coat. I kept the look simple with my favorite jeans, a cozy sweater, these booties, and my new coat.

Time just seems to be flying by this year and it’s hard to believe Christmas is already over and the new year is less than a week away! Even crazier though is the weather we are experiencing in New York this winter. It’s been unseasonably warm and it hasn’t really been necessary to pull out the winter coats. I’ve been taking advantage of the warm weather by just wearing light layers, my favorite scarves, and these boots. I fell in love with these boots last season and finally made the splurge to purchase them over the summer when I found them on sale. They have been my favorite piece to wear this fall and winter, and I love to pair them with dresses and skirts to make any look more chic and with pants for a more a sleek look.

When I think about dressing for the holidays, I want to look festive, but I don’t want an outfit that can only be worn during the holiday season. The best way to get around this is to use accessories to add a festive touch to your look. Anything from a pair of statement earrings to a bold lip will work. Here I paired this white dress with a gold clutch and red lip to make it holiday ready. And once the holidays pass, this white dress will still be seasonally appropriate with black tights and a black clutch.
