Winter Coat!

My Coat came today! And it's Lovely! First off the wool is soft, comparable to my old Calvin Klein one which has been my best coat ever. Second this coat is HEAVY. Definitely going to be warmer than my old coat, I'm actually glad I didn't get the thinsulate because it makes this coat a better late fall, early spring coat too. The Colour is dead on and I love that the sleeves are lined in green, which the body is in grey. The collar is well stitched so it's stands up well. The pockets are a good size, even if the placement is a little off. I truly truly love this coat. I can't wait for it to get cold now!

Spotting Envy

I love this piece. I've loved it since I spotted it in the J-Crew catalog 3 days ago. Except its $260, it's not warm, and it has bracelet length sleeves. My practical side (which also recently talked me out of getting a cocktail dress with feathers around the bottom) notices that this isn't entirely the best mix for Canadian weather. My side that thinks she's BFFS with Tinsley Mortimer goes gimegimegime. For now practical side has beaten faux-socialite side into submission. For now.

Pretty

I love the simplistic beauty of this ring from Adina Reyter, found on ShopBop. Its very dainty and subtle, perfect for day to day.

Cupcakes

The newest addition to my collection, J-Crew's Cupcake Cardigan. Not only is the name adorable, but the description is too!
A classic schoolgirl cardigan sweetened up with delicate cotton-lawn 'icing'
And to make everyone happy free shipping until 5/10 with the code IAP-179 (Make sure to include the dash)
Ahhh another grey cashmere sweater. Obsession? What obsession?

Wellies!

As it's pouring rain out today I thought I'd post about wellies. Wellies are everywhere lately and they come in such cute bright colours. These ones from J. Crew are on sale for $39.99 If you hate your feet getting wet when it rains, I highly recommend getting a pair. Just make sure they're bright! I have ones that are a great lime green colour and I never fail to get compliments whenever I wear them.

Rootote

How much would you love carrying this little tote around to get your groceries? from Rootote, a Japanese company it's the answer to ugly reusable shopping bags. They come in a ton of designs, and range from $15-$30 on yesstyle.com Being green can be cute.

Now in Canada

BergdorfGooman.com is now shipping to Canada. A little behind the 8 ball are we? At least they finally got around to it.

Coach Shimmer Powder

This compact from Coach makes me giggle at the slightly ludicrousness of how much companies are trying to expand their markets. Whatever happened to sticking with what you know?

Good Cashmere

to counteract the woe is me-ness that I blogged about earlier today, I have exciting news. My first ever J-Crew order arrived today and I just have to say it's everything I hoped it would be and more! Now I know people are all thinking I'm crazy, but folks. Seriously. I got the merino sweater with the ruffle collar I blogged about a couple of days ago and the Grey Argyle cashmere sweater. This is what cashmere should feel like. Soft and lightweight. But the real winner in my eyes is the merino. Oh. My. Gosh. It's soft, its super light and it's less than half the price of the cashmere. I am in blissful woolly heaven. My only complaint? They don't have enough styles in the merino. I can't wait to buy more from J-crew, not only are their phone people super nice (she added a 20% discount AFTER I had placed my order when I found the online coupon) but the shipping is fast and reasonable. I ordered these on the 26Th and they say 10-12 business days. This came in FOUR business days. Hurrah J-Crew, you have a life long shopper in me.

Classic

Nothing screams American Classic like a Ralph Lauren crest blazer. Perfect with jeans or a skirt when you want to channel your inner WASP.

J-Crew Sweaters for Spring

The weather is slowly warming up and although we're supposed to get MORE snow I've been drawn to J-Crew's lovely sweaters, great for those days that you still need a little bit of warmth.

This grey argyle cashmere sweater with the gold thread detailing is just so precious.

This merino ruffled collar cardigan comes in a ton of colours, a great little basic.

This wonderfully bright cardigan in merino is a great statement piece.

Now to decide what colours to get!
