Winter Obsessions

I started this post yesterday... 

It finally rained (ok, sprinkled) today and I got to take out my Marc Jacobs umbrella to walk Aidan to school! Of course, Aidan saw all the flowers and immediately asked for his "cars" umbrella. As I walked him to school, I had on my morning sweat pants, a simple tee and a thin sweater. This is normal for our everyday California weather, but this morning was different...It was chilly, the weather has definitely changed and the air was nice and clean. I jumped as I saw slugs and worms on the ground, but all the while in my head I was thinking, What to wear tomorrow morning? The time has arrived for all my winter obsessions! 

Today... continues... 

The usual coat and scarf is always in need during this time of year. I'm going to Georgia next week and I have a sudden realization that I am actually not Winter ready... at least not for any other Winter but the California one. I am not ready for wind, rain or snow...  I'm a little worried I have to say. My solution.... is layering! I do have many ways to layer my current wardrobe pieces and perhaps even taking out those bulky sweaters that I stashed away. I love my fitted Calvin Klein tees so those are still a must have for my layering endeavors. I actually wore one out today with my boyfriend jeans and a bulky knitted sweater from HM.  Instead of the normal beanie, I will probably incorporate more winter scarves as headpieces. I'm on this current scarf headpiece frenzy so I need to find more creative ways of amping that up for the winter as well. I'm excited! 

Here are some must haves that I am going to be seeking for... I hope you have a great Winter and enjoy it because it's going to pass us by way too fast...  Have a great weekend my friends! 

By the way, I currently obsessed with the new Zara 2013 Winter Collection!.. especially the mens!

The Dressing Room - Zara

Zara is one of my favorite stores to shop at. Its so trendy, bright and it has a little bit of something for everyone.  The store at South Coast Plaza has a men's dept but the one on 3rd Street Promenade (Santa Monica) also has a kids section. Its a bit more expensive then your H&M or Forever21 but it won't break your bank.  Here are a few outfits I tried on while I was there..

I didn't have anyone to button me up (Kashia....  :( .... ) so that's why the
neck seems so big, but its a really cute dress

I love this pink tweed coat. I have quite a few already
and wanted to add this to my collection but
I'm not quite at my goal weight yet so for 100 something, I don't think I'm
going to invest in it quite yet. This is a size medium just incase anyone
was wondering. It fits really nice and such a complementing color to any
outfit.... its classic and trendy

I am so in love with this fun, girly navy blue soft chiffon dress.
This was a size small and I loved how it fit and how the hem sits right above my knees.
You can wear this alone or with a cute cardigan for the evening.
I might have to go back and get this one

Ok, so yes that is my bra... This is why I wear colored bras because it too
can be part of your wardrobe.  When I was teaching personal development,
the rules were: Always wear a matching bra so it doesn't contrast with
your wardrobe.  Well, its now 2012 and Fashion has truly evolved,
so throw out all the rules and have fun! I only buy colored bras now
because its so fun and if that pop of color shows, its all that much more
fun and hip.... so don't be afraid to throw on some color under that
white wife beater... Its edgy, fun and free.  


So to my point: I'm actually
wearing this dress backwards! Yes, backwards.  The front is a straight
across neckline with a nude lining that sits under the lace.  I didn't think
it was as nice as it was worn backwards like this.  I would probably wear
a different camisole (light and sexy) under, but its definitely more cuter worn this way
