Winter Style: Red Holiday Sweater

It sure feels like winter here in the San Francisco Bay Area!  Although we don't get snow at our elevation, the temps have dropped quite significantly and we even had a few days of heavy rain last week!  Honestly, it's hard to believe that Christmas is just around the corner!  Thankfully, I was able to get our tree up and the house decorated and I'm looking forward to a little time off from work to celebrate the holidays with my family and friends!

Outfit Details:

Cowl Neck Bell Sleeve Sweater (similar here, here, and here)
Beanie (similar here, here, and here)
Skinny Jeans (similar here and here)
OTK Boots
Trina Turk Wool Blend Military Coat








I love to wear red around the holidays and this Style & Co cowl neck bell sleeve sweater is one of my favorites!  I also purchased it in green shared in this post here!  I love the cable knit detail on the front and back and the bell shaped sleeves gives it a really pretty silhouette! I decided to keep it casual wearing my cozy faux fur pom pom beanie, some skinny jeans, and my favorite black OTK boots!  I recently picked up this military style wool blend coat from Trina Turk and I love it!  It's also currently on major sale so go check it out!  I'm sure this coat will be making many repeat appearances on my blog for years to come!

The leaves were singing autumn around here but as of today, they may have all blown away in the recent rain storms we've had in the bay area...did I say it was cold?  Brrr.  I guess I'm ready for winter but especially looking forward to Christmas & the new year!  I spent some time wrapping gifts yesterday and planning for our family get together.  What are your holiday plans?

Don't forget...you can shop all of the looks from my blog on my shop page or you can click the links below for the products featured in this post!  Wishing you all a happy holiday season!  

Be Merry!

Rainy Day in Floral

It's been raining pretty hard here in the San Francisco Bay Area.  El Nino is in full effect and I'm not complaining!  We have experienced a drought in California for the last few years, so it's been nice to get a little saturated with the rain and get outdoors, even though it was a little soggy out!  

I purchased this Calvin Klein floral cap sleeve dress just before Christmas.  I love the vibrant colors and fit and flare design. I'm styling it for a winter rainy day but I'm sure I will be pulling it out again this spring and summer for warmer weather looks.  I really love this dress but found a few similar options here, here, and here that I have my eyes on!   

I decided to wear my black trench coat as I knew I would be going out in the rain today.  A trench coat is one of those classic closet staples everyone must have.  This particular coat is and old favorite, but I found a few similar options for you here and here.  I also have one in a tan color which works well for lighter colored clothes such as this one here.  In the winter, I like to put on tights when I wear dresses and skirts.  This keeps me a bit warmer and also saves people from getting blinded by my pale and sometimes stubbly legs!  Here are some great options for tights here and here.  Believe me, they make a world of difference in the colder wet weather!    

Last but not least, I decided to wear my favorite bow adorned black flats.  These ones are so comfortable, wear well in wet weather, and who doesn't love bows?  Here are a few other options that would also work well here and here.  Also, don't forget to grab an umbrella when you head out the door!  I love this large black one because it is sturdy and has great coverage.  However, I also have my eyes on this bubble umbrella.  They come in many different colors and remind me of the one my mom purchased me when I was young!

Don't forget to pull out your spring and summer dresses and mix it up for winter!   I hope you all enjoyed your weekend whether it was raining, snowing, or sunny out!
