Nearly every magazine I open lately seems to be showcasing capes and cloaks as must-have outerwear for fall. As you know I posted a beautiful najavo cloak here which truly inspired the purchase of this vintage cape. It's cozy and warm and really elevates an otherwise simple look..

"And you can just sit there a-thinking on your velvet throne
'bout all the rainbows you can a-have for your own
When you've made your mind up forever to be mine
I'll pick up your hand and slowly blow your little mind
When you've made your mind up forever to be mine"

Winter Warmth

F21 black leather shorts, oscar dela renta vintage sweater, vintage fur, 

chinese laundry over the knee boots, h&m hat & scarf.

Feeling pretty badass for sporting leather shorts in 20 degree weather. This fur is 

unbelievably warm, so I guess it's all proportionate. I'm gearing up for the holidays, and loads of travel. Wishing everyone a glorious holiday season. Can't wait to see what everyone is wearing for NYE.

Winter White

Leggings & socks from Target, White modified H&M dress (Originally it was a summer dress, but I cut it & layered it), 

 F21 sweater,  H&M scarf, UO booties.

Yesterday was Dec 1st and we received our first snow in Buffalo. Today it's back in the upper 40's so I really can't complain, other than our grey atmosphere. I figure I should get in as many roof shots as I can before its too slippery too sneak up there. This is such a cozy, yet comfortable outfit. 
It's practically sleep where, but still looks pulled together. 

I'm loving the look of comfy socks layered over tights (or legging) with a boot. It helps fight the chill,

 and still manages to look adorable.

Testing Textures

H&M sweater, f21 leather shorts, UO-peep toe booties, H&M scarf.

This outfit was inspired by Rodarte F08 collection, specifically the knitwear. As always I love playing with volume and I adore the contrast of the cozy scarf & sweater with the tiny leather shorts. Between the suede booties, patterned tights, cable knit, and leather I'm playing with a lot of texture. I added this last shot in with the beat and gritty surface area, it's a nice play off the sweater. 

Another amazing fall day here. Nearly 65 degrees!
