This week, I …

• Got a little shoe shopping happy with an additional 30% off Madewell’s sale items.  I scooped up a pair of cognac biker boots and leopard haircalf flats.

•  Experienced my very first snow days!  EVER.  I mean, I’m not mad that this turned into a five day weekend, but I am sick of the whole polar vortex schtick.

• Am celebrating Valentine’s Weekend with the beau.  On Friday, I treated him to dinner out and tonight, he’s whipping me a special homemade meal.  Role reversal FTW!

• Made my very first foray into the world of cropped tops and it’s not as scandalous as I thought!  What fashion risks have you taken lately?

• Tested out my new camera backstage at the Diego Binetti runway show.  Such a fun way to experience NYFW!

• Found the perfect coat and handbag for spring — now, if only the weather would take a cue.

• Am debating on buying these tartan print loafers.  They’re on major sale right now, but do I need them?  Can I wear them this spring or will I need to wait until fall?  What do you think?

• Played local tourist in front this amazing mural on the corner Bowery and Houston.  It was the perfect backdrop for a street style-inspired outfit!

• Am heading over to J.Crew to take an additional 50% off sale items!  I’ve got my eye on these leopard wedges, this contrast collar coat, and this swiss dot dress.

• Just joined The StyleUp, a fun style inspiration site that gives you outfit and shopping recommendations based on your taste and weather.  Check it out and you might find a few outfit shots from yours truly!

how to: survive a polar vortex

How to Survive a Polar Vortex

Apparently, I never knew what a real winter felt like until now: the year of the polar vortex.  Last year, it snowed only three times over the course of several months.  This year, it snowed three times in a matter of days.  Let’s just say, my dog (who is also experiencing his first real winter) is not pleased.

While I still refuse to buy a puffer jacket, you’ll probably find me decked out in all other winter gear, trying to hold on for dear life until spring.  My winter uniform usually involves a chunky knit sweater and faux leather leggings (underneath of which there’s another layer of thermal wear).  I also prefer schlepping around the city with a crossbody bag so that I can keep my glove-covered hands properly shoved into my wool coat. So tell me, how are you surviving this year’s winter?  I’d love to know — unless you live in California or Arizona, in which case we’re not currently on speaking terms.
