I tend to go into hibernation mode in the wintertime…surfacing rarely for food or the odd necessity. Case in point the day we took these photos, we had been on a 3+ day hibernation stint when we finally decided to venture out for coffee.

Seeing as how it was freezing out all I wanted to do was bundle myself up in something soft, fluffy, and warm. So I opted to give these new faux fur goodies a try. To be honest…this wasn’t the way I had envisioned debuting these beauties and part of me was kicking myself in the ass for dropping the ball on styling these in a cuter way before the deep freeze. But blame it on the hibernation I suppose!

Nevertheless my boring outfit consisting of boyfriend jeans and chunky turtleneck needed a pick me upper and the faux fur accessories brought some life into the mix. Not sure if it was the obnoxiously oversized pom pom hat or the slightly-over-the-top fur stole, but the pieces added some fun textures to the look. It’s definitely nothing glamorous but truly represents a hibernating blogger’s ootd for a coffee run in between cozy snuggle sessions.

What are some of your favourite things to do in the winter?

Top, Topshop. Jeans, Diesel. Flats, Zara. Belt, Mexx. Purse, Rebecca Minkoff. Sunglasses, Celine. Bracelet c/o Pinkstix. Ring, Child of Wild.

After what seemed like an eternity of winter it was nice nice to finally shelf those knits in lieu of silk tops and the ability to forgo outwear. For this evening out I wore a pair of Diesel flared jeans with a pink leopard silk top. I debated over heels vs flats for the longest time. However in the end I settled for lace up ballet flats as I had been going for a more casual dressed down sorta look. Although I’m sure this getup would have looked more chic with a pair of black strappy heels.

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend!

Blouse, Topshop. Skinny trousers and beanie, Zara. Cardigan, Wilfred (Aritzia). Boots, Ralph Lauren. Gloves, Winners. Bag, Gucci.

 

I have always been a fan of leopard print, however this season I was a bit fussy over having thee perfect leopard print. I found this blouse at Topshop, and not only were the size of the spots perfect, but they were pink! How could a girl resist a pink leopard top? Well…she doesn’t.

I wore my pink leopard top with a pair of skinny trousers and beanie that I picked up from Zara. It wasn’t too cold outside so I got away with wearing a 3/4 length sleeve cardigan and leather opera gloves. What’s your favourite animal print?
