Happy Saturday from frozen NYC!!  We got a blanket of snow last night, and it was so pretty, that I had to go into our backyard and take some photos before it melted. It was about 15 degrees today, and the only way to stay warm is to layer!  I wore a t shirt layered under a thick knit sweater, both from Zara.  I also layered a rabbit fur vest over my parka for extra warmth.  ( My parka was last seen in this post, and the fur vest was last seen In this post)  How are you keeping warm in this cold weather??  I hope you all have a cozy weekend!  Hot chocolate, blankets, and movies are my choices in these temperatures.;-)
XOXOXO

Layers, Belgian Waffles, and girl’s day out ;-)

Today was a gorgeous day in NYC!  The temperature went up to 60 degrees, and despite the high winds, it was a welcome break from the extreme cold weather we have been getting. I decided to have a girls day out in the city with my best friend Debbie. We wanted to hit the Nanette Lepore sample sale (details on what I purchased in a later post), get Belgian Waffles, and enjoy the gorgeous weather.  For those outside of NYC, there is an amazing Belgian Waffle truck in Chelsea. This truck is there 6 days a week, and serves up genuine Belgian Waffles, with unlimited toppings, (including a ground up cookie paste that is to die for!), fruit, ice cream, and melted Belgian chocolate.  YUM!!! Of course, we had to have everything on our waffles! LOL

I decided to layer up, wearing my rabbit fur vest under my Kenneth Cole coat, so that I was still warm in the high winds, but I would be able to remove my coat if necessary and just wear the vest.  My Acne Pistol boots are perfect for walking around the city for 8 hours, super comfortable!!!  But the icing on the cake? My gorgeous Alexander Wang Rocco bag with rose gold hardware!  Get it while you can! The rose gold hardware sells out right away! It’s so perfect because it goes with both gold and silver. Amazing bag!!

Today was a fun day!

“Get the look for less” in action! Leather jacket with fur panel

As you all remember, I did a post a few days ago about how you can get the look for less. You can read that post here.  Well, I finally had the chance to sport my new Adrienne Landau fur vest, (that I scored for a crazy price on ebay, if you remember!), with my Mike and Chris Leather jacket! Thank God the weather was nice enough today for me to wear it! I paired it with a dress, tights, Acne boots, and my Celine tote, and I was good to go for a day in the city!  What do you think of the look? (By the way, if you haven’t yet, invest in fleece lined tights for winter! They are super warm, and they are still thin and slimming. I love THESE Plush ones you can buy on SHOPBOP.)

Get this look for less!!!

 


Adrienne Landau rabbit fur vest
189 – farfetch.com

Zara leather jacket
$159 – zara.com

A L c
$2,189 – forwardforward.com

 

As I have said many, many times before, I LOVE deals, steals, bargains, and most importantly, getting the look for less.  When I say “getting the look for less”, I mean taking a gorgeous, high end designer piece that retails in the thousands, and finding a way to get the very same look for a fraction of the cost……….without sacrificing style or quality.

For this look, I took this incredible A.L.C. leather and fur jacket, and retails for $2189.00 here.  I have been lusting after this jacket for ages, but that price is just too steep. So, I did some research, and I found that you can get that exact same look by pairing a leather jacket, (one you already own, or you can buy this awesome Zara one), and layering with a gorgeous fur vest on top. For this example, I took a Zara leather jacket, retailing at $159, and I paired it with this luscious Adrienne Landau fur vest that retails for $295.  That is a total of $454 for the exact same look!!!  I will take this saving one step further.  I am known in many circles at the ebay queen, (LOL), and as such, I will tell you that you can score that very same Adrienne Landau rabbit fur vest on ebay, from Neiman Marcus’s Last Call store, for only $180!!! So, that is only $339 for the same fashionable, trendy, heart stopping look as the A.L.C. jacket!!! You can purchase the rabbit fur vest on ebay here. 

Guess who bought the vest???  Guess who will be modeling this look this week?  Hee Hee!!!!

Stay tuned for photos!!!! And if you decide to try this same look please share your photos with me! xoxoxoxo
