Weekend Chill

Sweater: J.Crew (similar style) | Vest: F21 (slightly longer version from F21 | Coat: LOFT (last season's, but similar in petite and regular here) | Jeans: Joe's (in girls' sizing like mine for only $39 or in women's sizing) | Gloves: H&M (thanks to Jean for the suggestion!) | Sunglasses: Chloe | Boots: Nine West (old) | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff | Bracelets: F21, Saks | Watch: Michael Kors

Stay warm, everyone, and very happy holidays to you and yours!

Blue Breeze

Dress: Splendid via Jovie (see my previous post about this great, petite-friendly boutique in Boulder) | Vest: Vintage Sweet & Chic (boutique website here) (last seen here) | Tights: | BoBoots: Michael (similar here and here) | Sunglasses: Karen Walker Perfect Day | Bag: Cambridge Satchel Co. | Necklace: JenniJewel | Bracelets: Vintage, Gift, F21 | Watch: Michael Kors

The verdict on this bag? I'm glad I kept it. It's been a great addition to my winter wardrobe and is even more versatile than I expected. I like the contrast of the fluorescent pink with the cobalt color of this tunic.

I picked this tunic up from Jovie a couple months ago, and while it's in kids' sizing, the cut of it is such that it's flattering on a petite grown-up, too. I did, however, make the mistake of throwing it in the dryer, which made it a little shorter and tighter than I might ideally want--hence the long vest and sweater tights to make it a little more modest. (Note to self: must read care instructions more carefully!)

3-2-1 Contrast

Coat: J.Crew (in regular, petite, and tall sizes and on an amazing sale, but hurry--sizes selling out quickly!) | Dress: LOFT (last seen here) (similar from Ann Taylor in petite and regular sizing) | Turtleneck: H&M (last seen here) | Tights: Wolford | Shoes: Loeffler Randall | Sunglasses: Karen Walker Perfect Day | Bag: Vintage | Necklace: F21 | Bracelets: Tiffany, Boutique, Vintage, F21

While this gorgeous peacoat didn't initially appear to be all that special from the online photos, I fell hopelessly in love with it as soon as I tried it on at my local J.Crew. I waited a bit for a reasonable sale and snapped up a 00P, which fit me like a dream. The wool is thick, cozy, and soft, and the contrast piping makes any winter outfit look clean, elegant, and polished (like the everyday work ensemble in these photos). With the extra 25% off (code: HOLIDAY) 30% off (code: WISHLIST) and free shipping available right now, I'm seriously considering ordering a second in another color thinking this peacoat might be a good alternative since the one I'm wearing is sold out in many sizes.

Hope you're having a wonderful Wednesday, readers! Happy 12/12/12!

Winter Respite

Shirt: Aeropostale (last styled here) | Jeans: H&M (similar here) | Sunglasses: Karen Walker Perfect Day | Shoes: J.Crew (note: these are so comfy--love them!) | Bag: Longchamp "Le Pliage" | Necklace: Best of Everything | Bracelets: Saks, J.Crew | Watch: Michael Kors

As my mom is wont to say, "No good vacation goes unpunished." I've been playing catch-up for the last week after being away, and it's definitely no picnic. Looking through these photos was a good reminder for me that it really is worth it to take vacations, especially when they involve beaches in the winter!

Vacation Chic

Cardigan: J.Crew (similar in women's and girls' sizes) | Dress: Ann Taylor (last seen here) (some cute maxi dresses in petite sizing here, here, and here) | Belt: H&M | Sunglasses: Karen Walker Bag: Tory Burch | Necklace: Ann Taylor (old) | Watch: Michael Kors | Bracelets: Vintage, F21

These photos are from my little getaway last week. It was so wonderful and relaxing--I wish I were still there! It was fun to pull out some of my favorite summery pieces (like this comfy maxi dress) for a last hurrah until spring.

Readers, do you have any warm-weather vacations planned for the holidays? Where are you going?
