FAB fur...

over the holiday break...i threw on my first (and actually ONLY) real mink coat. my great, great Aunt Inona used to give the best gifts and this was one of them when i was about...hmmm 10 years old.

although the fabulous fur is now a little snug and 3/4 length in the sleeves...I still think i'll add it into my current wardrobe. even in dallas (yes, crazy--but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do).

fur may sound crazy - and expensive - especially in Dallas, TX...but it always looks so glamorous. call me crazy. i'm fine with it.

winter wonderland

this time of year makes me really wish dallas got snow.

real snow.

there's just something about the holidays that makes me crave : cold weather, a mug of hot chocolate, a burning fire place and mittens (not sure i've ever really worn "mittens").

I say all of this...but in all reality - i'm a huge baby when it comes to TRUE cold weather, so maybe i'll just be honest and say "i love the IDEA of winter weather".

i also love the style of winter...the cozy sweaters, winter white, wool hats, scarves, and big coats. i will be the first to admit though - when its really cold, it's hard to muster up the desire to look cute over just being warm.

i love the above photo...this model looks amazing & she is standing in the freaking snow (in ridiculously high heels).

get inspired and still stay warm...even if you're simply ONLY wishing for a real winter wonderland.

happy happy holidays.
