Last week I was in Michigan visiting my boyfriend, and I'm not sure about where you live, but Michigan is real, real cold. Like, my-eyes-water-when-I-walk-outside-cold. Being from California {where, just so you know, we're in a drought and it's been 70 degrees all through January…}, I had to buy a few new jackets, sweaters and miscellaneous snow gear to get me through the week and today I'm sharing my favorite items with you, incase you're in search of some warm items for arctic temperatures! In addition to these outfits, I also LOVE this coat I showed you last week.
My boyfriend is quickly learning about my job as a blogger, so he offered to take these pictures. Soon he'll be an expert photographer just like my dad, who takes most of my pictures you see here for fashion posts. The men in my life are really good sports ;)

My favorite look is probably the last one, as that coat is about 50% wool, so it really does keep me warm! Not pictured are the cuddle duds I have on UNDER my jeans, and boy are those things lifesavers. I've never worn a pair of them before my trips to Michigan, but I'm not sure how I would have survived without them now. The best things I purchased for this trip, though, were definitely my black Ugg gloves. They are lined with really warm fur and you can use your phone with them! I definitely recommend everyone who lives in freezing temps to get yourself a pair. They make great Valentine's gifts, too! I've learned if my hands and feet are cold, the rest of me will surely be cold, so the most important items are warm socks and toasty gloves. These definitely do the trick.
Hopefully these looks have inspired you to stay stylish AND warm :) What are your lifesavers in cold weather?! This California girl wants to know.

Such cute looks, can't decide which is my favorite as I love them all....just love your style! I live in WI so it has been just as cold here as in Michigan and brrr is all I have to say....I'm pretty much over winter, bring on spring!

These kinds of looks are very familiar ;) Plus some very un-feminine but uber practical boots from LL Bean!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fun to enlist the help of the men in your life when it comes to blog photos!? My boyfriend takes all of mine and 99.9% of the time he's completely clueless and needs a ton of direction. You look beautiful in both outfits but I LOVE the second coat!
ReplyDeleteLove them all!!! I live in snugly Cardi's this time of year! It's super cold in NJ at the moment with all these snow storms we're getting. I think the last look is my fav too! Stay warm!!! =)
ReplyDeleteAll of these looks are so clean, put together, but cozy and comfy. I am TOTALLY guilty of just slobbing it from January - March, I'm tired of winter and just want spring!!!
