Shades of Grey

Cape c/o Karen Kane, Dress Random Boutique, Tights Target, Boots Steve Madden (old, but similar style here), Earrings c/o JewelMint, Glasses Ray Ban, Purse Chanel

I was so excited when I received this Karen Kane ombre cape in the mail. It adds a bit of coziness while still looking chic (it's also super warm and comfy). Even though most people would think of it as more of a lounging item or for the weekends, I decided to paired it with a basic long-sleeved dress, tights, and boots to dress it up for work. 
P.S. My hair is in a sloppy bun with the ends wrapped around the hair tie. (in case any of you were wondering :) )

In the Fog

 Jacket Anthropologie, Gingham Shirt J. Crew, Shorts Urban Outfitters, Pumps Tory Burch, Tights Target, Bag Chanel, Watch Michael Kors, Lipstick Revlon "Really Red"

I saw this jacket on this adorable lady and really scored when I found it on sale at Anthropologie. I absolutely love the salmon color and unique arrow pattern on the bottom of it. AND It's surprisingly warm too! 
I think I wear black tights at least three days out of the week. But hey, I'm not about to go bare-legged in this cold weather. Or on second thoughts...I might (for a new skirt!)

Layers

Sweater Queen's Wardrobe, Jean Jacket Gap, Leather Jacket Kenna T (similar style here), Jeans 7 For All Mankind, Booties Modern Vintage

Key to beating the cold weather: lots of layers.
My jean jacket is a key piece in many of my layering uniforms. When it gets really cold, sometimes one of my North Face fleece sweatshirts gets bundled in too. These jeans are amazing and I wear them alll the time! 
P.S. Can you tell I trimmed off two inches of hair? I'm kinda known for randomly cutting my own hair.

Today I'm Thankful For...


Being engaged to the most AMAZING man on earth
Having such a loving & supporting family
The best friends a girl could ask for
Getting to plan my dream wedding
How my red lipstick leaves my mark on my man
Getting to spend time with my family
Being so close with my grandparents
Playing with my lil brother & sister
The smell of pumpkin pie baking in the oven
Warming up by a fire with hot chocolate
No school for 3 days
Stuffing my face with food...good food
REALLY good food that my fiancé cooks
Did I mention the delicious food my fiancé makes?
Getting to sleep in and snuggle
Calls from my older sister, we miss her (she lives in HI)
Emoji text messages
Fresh flowers
LOVE

Statement Heels


Jacket Zara, T Shirt Nordstrom, Jeans Joe's Jeans, Belt Urban Outfitters, Heels Sam Edelman, Watch Michael Kors, Bracelet Forever21 

These heels are probably one of my favorites that I own. Unfortunately, they don't go with that much. When I wear them I try and make them the statement of my outfit, since they pretty much are a "statement" heel. I mean, what else is a leopard-spiked-embellished bow-open toe heel? 
I wore a simple black t-shirt and some ripped up boyfriend jeans to down-play them. 
One more day until Thanksgiving break! I can't wait to go home and visit my family :)

Fuzzy Purple Sweater


Sweater c/o Queen's Wardrobe, Dress BCBG, Tights American Apparel (similar style here), Booties Simply by Vera Wang for Kohls, Necklace Madewell
Thomas's outfit: Button-up Lacoste, Jeans J Brand, Shoes Tommy Bahama, Socks Cole Haan 

This sweater is probably one of the softest pieces of clothing I own. I paired it over my go-to BCBG grey dress (also seen here), threw on my heart shaped tights and added my grey booties. I also took a few photos of Thomas at the end and thought I would include what he's wearing. So handsome :)
I'm SO happy it's practically the weekend. I only have a morning workout and one class until relaxation time.
