NYC life and style blog
I bet you guys have heard by now that Piperlime is closing down on April 30th. I think it’s too bad because they carried a nice variety of clothes and the few things I have from the site, I really like. Since everything is on mega sale right now, I thought I’d round up a few of my favorite picks. Don’t forget to take an extra 50% off with the code GOODBYE. As you can imagine, sizes are limited and if you see something you like, act fast since things are selling out quickly!
When I was scrolling through my Twitter feed and saw Léa Seydoux’s dress, I had to do a double-take. I think her yellow dress (and the whole look, really) is so dreamy. A few years ago, yellow was one of my least favorite colors, but at some point that changed. I actually painted my walls pale yellow a couple years ago- talk about a change of opinion! Now I think of yellow as such a happy color and in these dreary winter days it feels like a breath of fresh air.

It’s my favorite time of year- the holiday season! Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, I can officially get into the holiday spirit. Every year, I look forward to the parties and gatherings that happen around this time of year. Sadly, this year I’ll be missing a couple of work parties because I’m heading back to CA, but I am planning to go to my friend’s tree-trimming party this month. I wanted to round up a few dress ideas for those who’ve also got a few holiday parties on their calendar this month.
Did you all have a nice weekend? I had a very relaxing weekend- it was wonderful. I didn’t really do much of anything but it was so nice to have some alone time and just hibernate a bit. I watched a lot of TV/movies, put up some twinkle lights, made an apple pie, started working on my Christmas card list, and did a bit of reading. It felt like a taste of the Christmas break that’s coming up. Just another 2.5 weeks to get through!
Tell me: Are you hosting a holiday party this year or do you plan to attend one?

We’ve reached that point in the year where it’s time to start bundling (remind me again how we got to November so quickly?). I’m thinking about finally replacing my winter coat this season, so I’ve been keeping my eye out for some stylish and affordable options. Here are 10 coats that I’m loving, from top to bottom:
01. Vero Moda Smart Wool Mix Coat– I’ve been really into this marled pattern this season. It’s very similar to the texture of my sweatshirt, but in coat form.
02. ‘Emma’ Menswear Coat– I’m totally digging this borrowed-from-the-boys option.
03. Long Bouclé Coat– I’ve always secretly wanted a white coat, even though they’re not very practical. Plus Olivia Pope made white coats so popular, and who doesn’t want to be Olivia Pope?
04. New Look Funnel Coat– I like the idea of having a pastel colored coat and I think this icy blue is perfect for the colder months.
05. ‘Long and Lean’ Overcoat– Every fall, all I want is burgundy everything.
06. New Look Check Collarless Coat– This coat is just adorable. Actually, I’d like that entire outfit the model is wearing, please and thank you.
07. New Look Checked Coat– I also like this darker checked coat. You know what, I think I’d like a scarf version of this coat!
08. Faux Leather-Trimmed Marled Coat– Love the leather accents, love the marled texture, love the price.
09. Skirted Wool Blend Coat– I think skirted coats are so ladylike and pretty.
10. Tinley Road Shades of Gray– So chic. I love that it incorporates two different shades of gray. It’s a fun detail, but the overall coat is still neutral and easy to wear.
Tell me: Which one is your favorite?
