Is it Winter Yet?

It has been so cold here lately that I can't decide if it is still fall or if winter has come. The temp keeps dropping, I had to warm up my car this morning, and I have been wearing my winter coat; that said, I absolutely love winter clothing! A week or two ago I got a suggestion to make a winter clothing post, and I think that it is finally cold enough. So, here are some of my winter clothing essentials :)

My winter essentials consist mostly of sweaters, jeans, and boots of all kinds! This year I am looking into getting a pair of bean boots; I think they would be such a great winter essential!

What are some of your winter essentials?

GiGi New York

I am officially obsessed with GiGi New York! They have some really cute, chic items, and my favorite of all is their clutches. There are two kinds that I am lusting over right now; the python "All in One" and the python "Uber Clutch".

All in One

Uber Clutch

Aren't these so chic? plus you can get your initials embossed on either of these great clutches; the only downside is the price, but they are definitely worth saving for :)

Which clutch is your favorite?

A Little Leopard

As many of you know, I just got a great pair of chunky leopard heels. I am so excited because I finally got to wear my heels this weekend! I wore them for a choir trip to a musical and they were perfect. These shoes are very comfortable, soft, and easy to walk in! Here is how I styled them :)

The show was so much fun to see; I had a great time with all of my choir friends, and I can't wait to go to another show :)

How do you style leopard?

J. Crew Factory New Arrivals

I am so excited about all of the new arrivals my favorite stores are getting in; however, the new arrivals at J. Crew Factory really caught my attention! They always have great clothes for great prices, without sacrificing quality. This winter they have some really cute, feminine, and chic arrivals! Here are a few of my favorites :)

Sequin Bow Cardigan

I absolutely love all of the sparkly, sequined shirts and sweaters this fall! It is such a great trend :)

Scallop-Trim Mini

Honestly, how can you go wrong with scallops?

Pajama Shirt

The deep navy color and the polka dot pattern on this night shirt are perfect!

Bow Tights

I really want to get a cute pair of tights, and I think these might be the ones! They are so classic, chic, and they have cute little bows on them. What more can a girl ask for!

What new arrivals from J. Crew Factory are you loving?

Preppy Printshop

I am so excited because one of my blogging buddies, Ashley, just opened her own print shop on Etsy called Preppy Printshop! She is so skilled in graphic design and I always love the cute little prints and background images she posts on her blog, History in High Heels. When I first heard she was looking into creating an Etsy store I got super excited because I knew there would be some great goodies for my renovated desk space; plus they are only $3 for a single print and they are instant download! Here are a few of my personal favorites from her shop :)
