WHAT TO WEAR WHEN IT'S FREEZING

I don't know about you but the moment it gets cold or wet outside, I pretty much go into survival mode. (How many layers can I possibly wear at one time?) We had our first real snowfall in New York this past weekend and I've totally been guilty of sacrificing style for staying dry and warm. I'd like to think it's totally possible to do both, à la these inspiring examples...


A few style notes: winter white coats, pom pom hats (I asked my parents for this one for Christmas), faux fur, my new favorite coat, leather gloves (great selection right here). My favorite is the navy coat with yellow details — the perfect bit of prep. Stay warm, my friends! xx

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO ACCOMPLISH IN THE NEXT 1001 DAYS?


I promise I'm going to share my next 101 in 1001 list with you! My first list wrapped up this fall (I can't believe I started it in college!) and I'm only now coming up with the final tasks for my second list. I'm so close! I can't wait to get started and of course to share it here on the blog.

In the mean time, I would love your help! I'm so inspired by all the people who have shared their lists with me (they're all listed here under #2) — it's crazy how many of us share similar dreams and goals. With only a few more tasks to write on my next list, I'd love to know what you'd like to accomplish in your next 1001 days (2.75 years). It could be anything: achieving a personal fitness goal, finding volunteer work you're passionate about, saving up for your dream bag, traveling to a new place, trying a new food... Whatever it is, I'm dying for a little inspiration! 

P.S. If you decide to write a list of your own, tweet me so I can link up! 


THE CLASSIC GIRL'S ULTIMATE CHRISTMAS LIST


I've talked about gifts for guys, gifts for little ones, and dresses for holiday parties... With fifteen days until Christmas, now it's time for the big one. The hardest part of holiday shopping for me, without fail, is buying for the girl who has everything and (sometimes worse) knowing what to ask for myself. So I've put together a pretty comprehensive list of gifts I think any classic girl would love. You'll see a slideshow with my top 20 or so picks, a smaller slideshow with dozens more ideas, and a list of ideas from my own boutique — you can see why I'm calling this your ultimate list! I hope it helps you find something you love, whether it's for you or your mom/daughter/sister/wife/girlfriend/BFF/cousin/coworker/you name it. Enjoy!

And thirty more ideas just because!
