Current obsession- Cuffs

Not sure how long this trend has been around but I keep seeing arm cuffs lately and they look very chic. I'm not talking about elaborate ones that look like they'll get caught on everything, there seems to be a move towards sleek designs that look elegant and timeless. Found a few images of ones that I love.

Winter coats

A great winter coat is worth its weight in gold! It pulls an outfit together and offers protection from the elements. My coat is bright red (wallflower?!? I think not) and nips in at the waist with a large collar that can be worn open or buttoned up into a roll collar. I always feel damn awesome in it. Here are a few that make me happy for winter.

Garance Dore

Garance is a French photographer, illustrator and author who has a very successful blog http://www.garancedore.fr/en/

I seem to very drawn to a neutral, minimalist, timeless and at times masculine look. The style of Garance fits into this very well.

Stripes and a poncho! Love this look.

Serious fascination with shades of grey which is slowly taking over my wardrobe. This outfit is effortless and stylish.

The beanie makes the outfit look more pulled together, would be great with a pair of high heels.

Lace skirts are such an investment, I'm still looking for the right one for me.

Same rule applies here, leather skirts, especially pencil skirts are an investment.

Bright and beautiful scarf to lift the look.

She looks great but more importantly she looks comfortable.

Currently loving...sneakers

I used to have a serious love for high heels and wore them 4 days out of the week. In the last two years, my preferred foot wear has swung 180 degrees in another direction. Now I'm all about the sneaker. Not boring ones but embellished and unusual ones that make a simple outfit look great.
