Want, Need - Same thing

The weather's been very erratic this year. We had a snowstorm in October that knocked out power for days in some parts, but a gloriously sunny Sunday this past week that had me leaving my coat in the car.  While it's still fairly chilly most days, it's not been consistent enough to make me fully winterize yet.  But with Thanksgiving being TOMORROW, its time I finally make the closet switch (I can't believe I haven't yet!) and look for ways to layer up like a Yeti while still looking reasonably human.


Also, all this talk of Black Friday makes me want to shop. But I refuse to shop at midnight amongst a throng of deal hungry shoppers that are more than willing to trample over me to get the last toaster on sale for 75% off. So I've been window shopping online...


I NEED BOOTS. Well, actually I don't. But I do. I'm not sure. If I was still commuting I would definitely have bought some boots but since I started working in Jersey, the walk from the house to car, car to office doesn't really warrant actual winter boots. And I can't decide which color. All this indecision keeps me from clicking the "checkout" button and it's been sitting in my cart for a week now. I did the same thing last year and never purchased....ahhhhh!!


Bright or Neutral?

Aren't these cute? Only Marc Jacobs could update his now staple flat with shearling lining:

I'm starting to develop an affinty towards hats...

dangit, I can't remember where I saw this, but I think it's Rag & Bone



Much girlier than I usually like but something appealing about a fur pom pom on your gloves:

Probably more my style (because I already own 100 pairs of these - I used to cut the sleeves off of long sleeved shirts and wear them as arm warmers).  J.Crew calls them "glovettes":

And my winter LUST item which I will drool after, hunt down for sales, but most likely not purchase:

You can even wear just the lining! How versatile!

    I finally committed to the boots! Piperlime had a 20% off sale (through tomorrow I think) plus free shipping and no tax in jersey. can't beat the combo
