I gave you guys a sneak peek at my faux fur stash a few weeks ago, and today I’d like to introduce you to the newest member of my collection.  Fur collars are such a great way to add a touch of drama to even the simplest of outfits.  And I have a feeling I’ll be getting tons of wear out of this one during the holiday season.

In slightly less exciting news, we hit a major cold snap in NYC recently.  Luckily I was prepared with my super-warm fleece lined tights.  I swear by them every winter, and they haven’t failed me yet.  So if you haven’t tried them yet, I highly recommend stocking up on a few pairs.  I got mine on sale at TJ Maxx, but I also found a few pairs online at Tilly’s,  JCPenney and Shopbop

If you have any tips for staying warm (and stylish!) please do share.  I have feeling we’re in for a rough winter this year…

Closet Confection: Trainspotting

{Zara Coat & Scarf, Uniqlo Dress, Margiela x H&M Boots, Celine Handbag}

Baby, it’s cold outside!  And what better way to stay warm and toasty than with a scarf that doubles as a neck brace?  I didn’t realize it at the time, but judging from how dangerously close I was to the edge of the train platform it’s a small wonder that I didn’t wind up needing an actual neck brace.

Ahh, but what fun is blogging without a little danger, no?

Closet Raid: {Another} 30 Day Capsule Wardrobe Using Just 10 Items

10 Item Capsule Wardobe{Comme des Garcons Striped Tee, Uniqlo Button-Down Tunic Blouse and Polka Dot Leggings Pants, H&M Denim Shirt, Prabal Gurung x Target Shirtdress, Ralph Lauren Short-Sleeve Sweater, 7 for All Mankind Cardigan, J. Crew Black Flippy Skirt and Blue No. 2 Pencil Skirt, Old Navy Rockstar Skinny Jeans}

Yessir, it’s time for another 30-day outfit roundup featuring just 10 items of clothing.  This time around, I decided to give myself a little more leeway with shoes and accessories.  In case you missed the first go ’round, here’s a few tips on how you can create your own 10-item capsule wardrobe:

  1. Pick your favorite pair of jeans.  I went with bright red skinnies to switch things up a bit.
  2. Choose a color scheme.
  3. Pick 3 additional bottoms (pants, skirts, shorts, whatever floats your boat).
  4. Pick out a fabulous dress that can be worn different ways.  Last time I chose a trench dress, and this time around I went with a rainbow-colored shirtdress.
  5. Toss in a cardigan or blazer (or two).
  6. Last, but not least, choose 3-4 tops that match with all of your bottoms.

One final note: go crazy with accessories, if you want!  Scarves and belts can be total game changers.
