wanted: cold weather cool

After a nice long holiday weekend in Miami, I arrived back to New York on Monday night to a rude awakening of cold, gloomy weather. Clearly I'm not in South Florida, anymore.

I've gotten some great stuff over the past few weeks (mostly sweaters like this one and this one) but my outerwear selection is still kind of slim. As soon as I saw the outwear sale over at J.Crew though, I knew I'd be picking something up. I've had my eye on this vest for weeks so it's already in my cart but these coats are also shooting to the top of my list.

What are your cold weather must-haves?

wanted: when life gives you lemons

When it comes to integrating color into my wardrobe this year, I've managed to pick up something in almost every color under the sun (no pun intended) except for yellow. After a quick stop by J.Crew last week though, I knew I had to have something in this punchy hue. 

From tops and bottoms to dresses and accessories, I'm a bit obsessed with finding the perfect yellow piece that looks modern but still classic.
