Happy Thursday, loves! Really feeling the chill now that December has set in here in the city. Thankful that it's not unbearably freezing (yet. haha), but super excited that it's actually brisk enough to be snuggled up in layers these days!

If you couldn't tell from the last photo above, I'm currently still in that fall state of mind. Maybe it's because the weather hasn't gotten super cold until the past weekend...but I'm also a person that doesn't get into the holiday spirit until there's actual snow on the ground. Anyone else on the same page?

Anyway, completely cozied up in cable knits and fur and it doesn't get cozier than this! I'm obsessed with fur collar cardigans (this one is detachable!) and cable knit beanies. They are definitely a girl's best friend when the windchill is in the mid 20s during the morning!

And of course, debuting the first outing of my new bae--the Mansur Gavriel Mini Bucket bag! There's a pop up shop currently going on in New York until January 11th! I've been lusting for one of these bucket bags ever since they came out 2 or 3 years ago, but never had the guts to pull the trigger cause they were so hard to find and try out in person. Of course...couldn't leave the pop up without taking one of them home. Ended up going with the saffiano leather instead of their original vegetable leather just cause I KNEW I would get that smooth vegetable leather all scratched up with everyday wear. (Full review to come, and I promise it won't take as long as the Fendi one did).

Bundle up and stay warm, darlings! With much love,

Happy Sunday, loves! My favorite day of the week...meant for sleeping in and waking up to a cup of freshly brewed hot coffee, light leisurely reading and running those last minute weekend errands.

I've been one to seriously resist the athleisure trend for the past couple of months now, but these super comfy/chic pieces are really catching up to me. I've always been a heels kind of girl--it's just that #bossgirl mentality that comes with rocking a pair of killer heels. But of course, I can't say that they're always the most functional form of footwear...

And when it comes to a Sunday afternoon of grabbing some fresh blooms for the new week and grocery shopping, it's nice to throw on a pair of sneakers for a change and bundle up in a blanket scarf. Usually, you won't see me caught dead in sneakers (unless it's during a rare run through Central Park, haha). I've always thought of sneakers only for it's function, rather than fashion...but, I have to admit that this gorgeous pair of gray Nike's definitely made me do a double-take.

A hugeeee thank you to Six:02 for opening my eyes to all the potential of this unexplored form of footwear! Just another reminder to keep an open mind and not write anything off until you actually try it. Can't say that I'm going to abandon all the heels in my closet now...but they may have to move over and make some room for some new sneaker additions in the near future. ;)

Happy Saturday, loves! A bit behind on the blogging schedule this week--it's been busier than usual lately and I've been spending a lot of time going back and forth from Jersey and the city recently. Staying in NYC the last couple of days to catch up with some friends that have returned after winter break, so it's been a lot of coffee dates and brunch sessions. ;)

Here's a look from before Winter Storm Jonas hit the city, when the weather was still surprisingly warm enough to get away with not wearing an overcoat. These days, I find layering my best friend and am definitely trying to build a more cohesive and minimal wardrobe to last me through my 20s.
