Hey peeps!

I hope you enjoyed a relaxing 3-day weekend as much as I did.  I used the time to finally take down my Christmas tree.

As for today’s outfit, I planned it around these boots that I just had to have a few years ago… the one’s from this campaign.  The price tag was a little too steep for me at the time, so I tracked a lookalike pair down on eBay and wore them a whopping THREE times (shameful, I know).  In any case, I‘ve decided to get my money’s worth and wear them a little more often.

Closet Confection: Rough Draft

It’s officially the bleakest part of winter over in my neck of the woods, and you can stick a fork in me because I’m done with it.  To help shake off the winter blues,  decided to add some punchy colors into the mix instead of the blacks and grays that I’ve been favoring as of late.

This pink coat that I snatched up on super sale at J. Crew has to be my favorite purchase of the season.  It instantly jazzes up a look without much effort.  And effort is generally something I don’t have much of to spare as I’m dashing off to work in the morning!

What go-to pieces do you rely on this winter to help spice up your look?

Headphones are my saving grace whenever I’m traveling around the city.  While I love the hustle and bustle that defines NYC, sometimes I prefer to be in my own little sound-proof bubble, impervious to the screech of subway trains and screaming toddlers.  I also love the idea of having my own personal soundtrack that fits the mood of my surroundings.  And since New York has such a diverse mix of enclaves, my playlist has become a random mix of everything from Cool Jazz to Yé-yé and from Classical Music to Bachata, with a little bit of Motown and nauseatingly cloying pop music thrown in for good measure.  But when I really want to just tune out and retreat into my own thoughts, I also rely on my beloved White Noise app.

And what about you guys, what’s on your playlist?
