WINTER COATS

So yesterday actually felt like winter, which I'm not ready for one bit. Is anyone else wondering where fall went?! With this sudden drop in temperatures, I've looked at my coat collection and decided I definitely need a winter coat update. I have some great coats for fancier occasions, but as for an everyday, great winter coat... that's missing. 

I've rounded up a few options that I love that are across the board in terms of price (especially when you consider Banana Republic's consistent 35-40% off deals!) I want something that hits mid thigh and is classic and I can wear for a few years, but with a little something different that makes it stand out from a peacoat. I personally am leaning towards 3 or 5, but 2 is sooo pretty with the red and the fur - what do you all think?!

STUCK IN COLDER WEATHER...MAYBE TOMORROW WILL BE BETTER

I mean, y'all. I can't handle the cold and depressing winter weather anymore! I know Nashville hasn't even gotten the tiniest bit of snow or ice, but that's almost worse when it's 13 degrees outside. At least make the cold worthwhile, amiright?! Regardless, I can't handle the cold for much longer. I am in desperate need of sunshine and using the above pictures as happiness and warmer weather inspiration. I'll just keep repeating to myself "36 days until spring, 36 days until spring", click my heels, and maybe I'll magically wind up on one of these beaches. Worth wishing for, at least!

Happy Thursday!

GLOVE ME

Now that it is getting colder in Nashville - it got down to 22 degrees last night!!!! - it's time to break out the winter wear (enter sighs). One thing that I need to purchase this season is a pair of leather gloves. They are so chic looking, and these Mark & Graham gloves have 100% cashmere lining, so you know your hands will be kept warm. Add a little personalization with a monogram and you're set. Here are a few options if you are looking:

Mark & Graham Classic Leather Gloves

J.Crew Smartphone Leather Gloves

J.Crew Jeweled Leather Gloves

Kate Spade Bow Gloves

Target Tech Touch Leather Gloves

Snow Day?

All day, there has been talk of a potential snow day because of this winter storm. IUPUI has cancelled classes, my brother's high school in Champaign is closed... but of course nothing for Bloomington. Then again, there is only freezing rain right now, no snow. While I would love for class to be cancelled, I can't really see this one happening. If it did, however, I would be sure to take full advantage and make the day as memorable as our snow day sophomore year. Here's to hoping! Fingers crossed.
