Bon Weekend: Weekend Style, Plus a Delightful Cocktail

I hope you had a wonderful week!  The temperatures here are freezing!  I’m not a fan of cold weather to say the least.  I walk within 10 feet of a door or window and I can instantly feel cold; not that I can actually feel the cold, I mentally feel cold by being near.  Sometimes I wonder why I am living in the Midwest where the winters are ridiculously cold.  If you live in a place where it’s cold, I hope you’re staying warm too.

 

The inspiration for the fashion post is – warm and chic.  Typically for me, this includes a cup of Starbucks to keep my hands warm and my body internally.

 

I only wear faux fur and have found some great pieces the past couple of years.  The quality has gotten better as well as the styles to choose from.  I have no idea if the ones pictured below are faux but have found some I love at Revolve and Shopbop.

 

I love a large, chunky turtleneck like the ones pictured below.  J Crew had one I fell in love but already sold out.  Don’t you hate it when items you want are sold out but still pictured on the website?

I wouldn’t actually wear jeans with large holes when it’s negative 500 like it is here.

I  have the shoes and need to find this coat!  How cute is this ensemble?
