As I’m writing this post there is a blizzard going on outside, complete with “thundersnow”, 70mph whipping winds that are shaking the windows, and beyond frigid temps. I think they’re calling it the ‘Bomb Cyclone.’
GREAT.
Let’s just hope the wind doesn’t knock out our power so we’re stuck in the dark for the next few days. I mean, I took a voluntary social media hiatus over the holidays, but that was voluntary. I don’t want Mother Nature telling me what I can and cannot have power to.
And my external battery supply will only last so long.
Anyway, I wanted to share 3 of my favorite trends I’ve been seeing this Winter. Each one of these are cute on their own, but put them all together and I’m in love! You can score my entire look from Urban Outfitters…I am so obsessed with everything they carry lately.

The Beret
You’ve without a doubt seen this trend on countless fashionable babes this season…and I don’t know about you, but I definitely don’t hate it!
I’ve always had a thing for hats, if you’ve been following along for any length of time you’d know that I like to pack at least 8 hats with me on every vacation, haha.
I really feel like they can make or break an outfit, ya know? And the great thing about wearing hats in the winter is that they actually have a function in keeping your head warm. #bonuspoints
Anyway, the beret does not look like it’s going anywhere anytime soon, so I suggest you pick one up. This exact style is the best fitting/draping beret I’ve found (it doesn’t give that weird angled look, it just falls perfectly so). It’s also under $30 and comes in 6 different color options. Choose black for all your classic looks, or one in a fun orange or red color for a more daring choice!

2. The Teddy Bear Coat
You’ve probably also seen these furry coats popping up around lately as well. I was hesitant to get one since I love the shaggy faux fur look so much (see what I’m talking about here and here), but the teddy bear coat does not disappoint either!
My Urban Outfitters teddy coat adds just enough of an outerwear statement to your look, but isn’t too over the top like a faux fur can be. You know, sometimes a pink faux fur is SO extra when you’re just heading to the grocery store to pick up a couple avocados or into CVS to grab a box of tissues.
I mean, I still wear it, but man, the looks you get!
Can you people just let me live my life over here in my pink fur coat? K thanks bye.

3. Leopard
There is just something about wearing leopard that makes your look a bit more pulled together and chic. Agree, yes?
I also love that leopard is considered a “neutral” and pairs well with black, brown, tan, white, pretty much any color.
So even if you’re just wearing a basic black coat and jeans, wearing a leopard print shoe will spark that outfit up in no time at all.
I love how my leopard print skirt tied together all of the elements of this look. I’m wearing black, on bottom, brown in the middle, and orange on top, yet they all blend seamlessly thanks to my leopard.
This skirt does run a bit big so I would size down (I’m wearing a Small and definitely could have used an XS, as it was really full all around).

This look is absolutely lovely! And your makeup is so on point! I hope everything has been okay with the snow in your area, it’s finally settled out by my best friend’s in Boston, but I couldn’t even imagine having to be in temperatures that low for that long!
Best,
