We had a warm spell here in Columbus a little while back, which was great, because I actually could snap these pictures and not be teetering around in the snow in my heels. I always feel a little idiotic doing so, but hey, anything for a good picture, right? Now, we have about six inches of snow, and it may be a max of 10 degrees today. Talk about some ridiculous weather. Yesterday, it was a level 2 emergency here, which in Ohio means that when you get more than just an inch or so, the plows can't handle it! Back to boots and big chunky sweaters it is, but hopefully not for too long. I'm about ready for Spring.

This clutch is a new favorite of mine. I just discovered recently that J.Crew offered a monogramming option for some of their bags. Needless to say, I was quite excited. I love a good monogram on just about anything, and it's only an extra $10! Not sure if any of you have checked out J.Crew's handbag collection, but its pretty awesome. The leather is incredible, the bags are really well made, and better yet, they're affordable.

Hope you all stay warm and dry today. Happy Monday!

Style File: Fur Coats

images via 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10/11

Nothing like a good, cozy, fur coat, although I tend to gravitate towards the faux fur versions because I hate to think of actually wearing a real animal (disclaimer: I have borrowed my mom's real fur piece for a shoot once, and I do have my grandmother's mink, which is something I actually hang on the wall because it's so special to me). Anyway, a fur coat can just make an outfit look so chic, even thrown over a pair of leggings! Long, short, cropped, whatever... I love them all. I've picked a few of my faux & real favorites below. Happy shopping!

Cozy Sweater Weather

Wilfred Montpellier Sweater // Wilfred Free Daria Legging // Madison Harding Debra Booties (also here) // Tory Burch Reva Clutch (also here) // J.Crew Earrings (similar here and here)

This could possibly be one of my favorite outfits this Winter. I grabbed this sweater when I was in NYC during Christmas time, and I have literally lived in it ever since. I love how you can dress it up and down, whether you wear it with jeans, leggings, black slacks, heels or flats. It is such a versatile piece and it is so soft and cozy. I'm someone who can barely wear Merino wool because I'm so sensitive, but this sweater doesn't have the slightest itch to it. I just wish it were still available in other colors, because I'd get every one possible!
