Weathering Winter

We're fast approaching that time of year when the weather outside is prohibitively cold. I'm embarrassed to admit that I literally decide whether to go out and run an errand based on how freezing I will be between my front door and my car... And it's only bound to get worse as winter progresses. Fortunately I found a little ice cold inspiration in this ensemble over on my very favorite style blog, Atlantic-Pacific:

Blair has a knack for mixing colors and patterns that I think goes unrivaled among personal style bloggers. I'm constantly wishing I could come up with the looks she does, which is why I thought we might all use a little lesson from one of her recent outfits. Topped with a warm coat (I love mine!), this layered look is key for surviving winter in style.

J.Crew shirt, $72 / Loren Hope necklace, $160

Topshop navy flannel skirt, $75 / Madewell over-the-knee socks, $18

Hunter gloss boots, $125 (I have these in black but love a bright color for gray days!)

What are your tricks for weathering winter?

Easy Canvas Prints

Before I launch into sharing holiday gift guides — and there will be plenty! — I thought I'd share a lovely gift I received recently. Thanks to the generous folks at Easy Canvas Prints, I converted one of my favorite family photographs into an 11" x 14" canvas! 

I was impressed at how quickly I received my order and the quality of the print itself. My canvas cost $46 and smaller options start at just $29 (well within the gifting range, wink wink!). For all of you looking to decorate your walls on a budget, this could be a great option! Definitely pop over to Easy Canvas Prints and let me know what you think. Do you ever give photographs as gifts?

P.S. The photo was taken by our talented family friend Carly Dudzik!
