Real: The last of the winter days in Paris, with some tribal print

Don't you just hate those winter days when the skies are blue and sunny, and you so foolishly believe (or hope) that spring has finally arrived. Then you walk outside in your cute little spring jacket, still with the unworn smell, and literally turn into a popsicle? Yes. That has been happening a lot to me lately. The New York weather has been acting like a woman going through menopause. As in that situation, we have no other choice but to weather through (pun intended). 

However, on this beautiful Paris day I decided to still wear my cozy gray zara coat and my favorite tribal print scarf. I paired it with a ballerina bun and my braided bangs since I was having the day after the flight hair disaster. This is my first outfit post from Paris and I am oh, so, proud of the wonderful photos my friend Milica (with the C being pronounced as an S, don't make me punch you) took of me. They were taken in the courtyard of the Louvre which is divine beyond explanation. Everything about that city makes me wonder about all the wonderful things humans have created and how we never truly appreciate it anymore, apart from millions of tourists which snap photos of things they don't know when, how, or by whom were built by. Those peeps are precious. But, before I go into my raging critique of tourists world-wide, why don't I stop. Just stop.











I'm wearing:

Gray coat - Zara
Tribal print scarf (it's actually a poncho) - H&M
Black patent chain leather bag - Zara
Dark wash jeans - Abercrombie
Lace up boots - Zara
Gold ring - Forever21

Real: Fur and burgundy

It was one of those sunny, freezing days in New York. While headed to one of the craziest brunch parties, I was walking around at 2 pm in a full blown party outfit. Tallest heels included. Nothing is strange in New York and neither was I. 

This combo perfectly defines my style this winter. I have paired my favorite color of the moment - burgundy with the ultimate favorite color - black. I also love the jacquard detail of the zara pants which I bought on a sale and were really a bargain. I've been rocking the burgundy accessories for these cold days, and they look great with my winter gray coat as well. The fur coat is my favorite though. I love love love fur coats. And don't say that it's wrong and you kill animals blah blah. Excuse me for not being politically correct on this one, you can see and feel the difference between real and faux fur. I'm sorry, but it's true. You're not fooling anyone baby. If someone feels insulated...oh well. If it's any consolation - I only own one and it's a short one :).

Bundle up in style!

When Europe is so snowed in and freezing, I am sure everyone just wants to stay in, drink hot cocoa or coffee, watch movies and eat very delish food. However, here I am to wake you up from your slumber party and make you realize that just because you're snowed in, you don't have to put on uggly uggs and look like someone spit you out of a ski resort (with no ski slope around). Fashion doesn't have to go out the window in the cold weather. After these inspiring photos of celebs we all (think we) know so well, and fashion jet setters, you will realize that it can actually be quite inspiring and full of possibilities. 


If I haven't made you pile the clothes on and go for a fashion walk in the snow, at least I made you think you can, that is, if you wanted to get out of your warm little room. 


Fur is always the fashionable choice, and you can get a good fake if you like those little animals. Notice that she is wearing another coat underneath!

Add a belt for a waist in the bulk!





Don't be afraid to try COLOR!

COLOR!


Need I say accessorize??


Shirt, jacket, coat, gloves... pile it on!

Neutral tones all go well together.

Leather jacket and a parka? Why not!

Flowy and bulky... love

Who said you have to give up your shoes? Brace the cold from waist up.



Color much?





Perfection. Miroslava Duma always gets it right.

Now that's an outfit for the Sunday walk.


Love the hat!



Go for structure!




What have we learned?
1. Don't be afraid to colorize!
2. Use all the accessories that winter has to offer.
3. Pile on the layers. One jacket over the other WILL look good.
4. Structured coats are always a good way to go.
