Don't mind my damp hair and clothes in these photos; the wet snow was coming down fast and furious but Eleanor and I decided to test out her new lens and snap some outfit photos after shopping the Aritzia Warehouse Sale. The weather was also the perfect opportunity to wear this blush pink hooded coat from Zara's Spring '14 collection. In addition to powder blue, blush pink is another colour I'm smitten with for Spring (if it ever arrives). You can melt away now snow, please and thank you!

The New Neutral

The neutral tone of these Zohara tights are such a beautiful hybrid of grey and beige, otherwise known as greige. The colour is soft while being warm and cool at the same time (see how the tights pick up the grey in my bag and the beige of my pumps?) I just love it; greige is the new neutral for me.

Happy Chinese New Year! I'm donning my custom eShakti trench in lucky garnet red to ring in the Year of the Horse. I don't own much red clothing but for Chinese New Year, I always make it a point to wear whatever pieces I have in that colour to bring good luck my way. Happy Weekend and Lunar New Year to all who celebrate!

Double Up

Sometimes two is better than one. I layered up a couple of my favourite jackets for a look that's not only functional (more layers = more warmth) but is also stylish. I love the look these two jackets create when worn together, and was more than happy that the extra layers allowed me to wear this Wilfred Free dress in the middle of winter (see my looks with this dress in the summer and fall).

Princess Shoes

{ Coat: Mackage // Sweater Dress: Old Navy // Jeans: Gap // Shoes: Jimmy Choo // Bag: Louis Vuitton // Sunglasses: Zara }

Meet the newest addition to my shoe family, Jimmy Choo. They were waiting for me under the Christmas tree (doesn't my husband have fantastic taste?!) and though I initially toyed with the idea of returning them for a more practical pair of shoes, I couldn't let go of the sexy style and vibrant raspberry colour. Plus, Kate Middleton has the same pair but in silver (see here). If the Duchess wears them, so will I! Just not with princess dresses...

Snow Day

{ Ombre Wool Moto Jacket: Gap // Sweater: Zara (old, similar) // Coated Jeans: H&M (old) // Boots: Chinese Laundry // Boot Socks: Old Navy // Bag: Kate Spade // Sunglasses: Prada // Jewelry: HRH Collection necklace; INPINK ring (c/o) }

The snow left almost as quickly as it came, because as I write this post the rain has completely washed away all the snow. During its short-lived stay, I discovered a new obsession that's not only practical for keeping warm but is also super cute: enter boot socks. They come in an array of colours and patterns, and are such a fun way to add an extra layer of interest to an outfit. I've already bought two pairs (this pair I'm wearing here and an over-the-knee pair) and see many more in my future. If you haven't worn them before, give them a try! They'd also make great stocking stuffers :)

I have been living in this oversized blanket scarf from Zara. It's been keeping me warm since the temperature has dipped below zero, and the tartan/plaid patterns are right on point this season. Double the plaid, double the fun!

Layered Shirtdress

My love for this lace dress has been well documented on this blog (seen here, here and here) and I take any opportunity I can to wear it all year round. In addition to a camisole and two pairs of tights, I layered my heart-print chambray shirt underneath the dress to make it more suitable for the cold. I threw on my wool and cashmere blend coat on top (buttoned all the way up after outfit photos were taken, of course!) and I was good to go.

Winter Layers

{ Trench: c/o eShakti // Faux Fur Vest: H&M Kids // Top: H&M (old) // Faux Leather Shorts: Forever 21 // Tights: Joe Fresh // Shoes & Scarf: Zara // Knit Beret: DIY // Bag: Louis Vuitton // Sunglasses: Karen Walker // Bracelets: Forever 21 & H&M }

This outfit is actually reminiscent of my very first outfit post. The scarf, top and shorts are the same, but this year I've added more layers that include wearing two pairs of tights, my hand knit beret and a faux fur vest under my custom trench coat from eShakti. I adore that the coat was custom made to my measurements and the festive red colour is perfect for Christmas, which is exactly one week away! Are you all ready?!

PS: the winner of my olive + piper giveaway will be announced on Friday!
