happy monday lovelies. i cannot believe that i leave for new york next week! i have to admit, packing for NYFW is not like any other feat i have attempted. while i would love to bring more than one bag, that’s just a ridiculous inconvenience and so, whether i like it or not, i’m going to have to stuff 8 days’ worth of clothes, shoes and accessories into one bag. planning for freezing cold weather is certainly a challenge, but when i took these photos is was just a bit above zero degrees, so the good news is i’m getting better about surviving the arctic winter air coatless. this is a little belated holiday-esque, festive outfit post for you {just in case you wanted one last glimpse of the holidays before january ends}. this line & dot dress has a gorgeous velvet white and gold stripe top, with slit-open draping sleeves. i added accessories that have gold sparkly details: faux-garter tights, a gold-handled python clutch, and a jeweled headband. during the winter, i tend to gravitate mainly towards black, with neutrals and golds thrown in. often the only color i include is a lipstick, but here i decided to go with a muted lip. it’s certainly not my go-to {i’m much more comfortable in a bright, strong lip}, but it was a nice change of pace. my absolute favorite part of this look has to be my precious haircalf boots. so far, they’ve been my little good luck charm for 2013. let’s hope they continue to work, because they will be joining me in NY!

xoxo
