Last night I walked out of a meeting and stumbled upon a Christmas tree lot and if it had started to snow it would have been fate. Sadly no snow, but it was starting to get dark and they flipped on the strands of lights over head creating the most perfect way to end the day. The air was cold and the smell of the trees was so strong that I had to go walk around even though I had no intention of getting a tree just yet. To be honest, leaving without a tree wasn't by choice, but more of an issue with getting it home on top of my car.

After getting back from Texas and complaining about the heat I am pretty sure I've been cursed with cold weather, which is fine by me because now I can wear all of the coats I've been collecting! This green number caught my eye back in September when it was on sale. I ordered it and it's been waiting in the coat closet for it's debut ever since. I love this rich fabric and the green is a fun way to add some winter flair to a more neutral outfit. I think it looks so luxe with these black pants, but you could put a cream sweater dress underneath or winter white pants for a lighter palette  I think it would be a fun piece to wear over a little metallic cocktail dress for your holiday parties, too!

So I know the 'Highland' boots are everywhere, but this is the 'Highway' style and I love them! The back is a stretchy fabric rather than suede, so you just pull them on. I don't think they are as high up on the leg, but for a more professional outing I like not having the tie-back. Stuart Weitzman boots are incredibly expensive, but shop around (I got mine for a huge discount) and prepare to invest. The suede is so soft and the comfort and craftsmanship are worth the money.

Happy Holidays!
