Weekend Wear: Cargos & Manolos

Jacket: ZARA (old, great petite-friendly option here) | Shirt: J.Crew (similar here) | Pants: American Eagle (love these from J Brand--on sale here if you're my size) | Sunglasses: Valentino | Shoes: Manolo Blahnik | Bag: 3.1 phillip lim, available at Barney's or Otte NY (read my review) | Necklace: J.Crew Factory | Bracelets: David Yurman, Tiffany | Watch: Michele

It was an absolutely gorgeous holiday weekend in Colorado, so I decided to ditch my usual boots-and-wool-coat combo for some pretty pumps and my favorite leather jacket when I headed out to brunch (for any Denverites wondering, I went to this lovely place). Hope all of you got to enjoy a long weekend and some warm temperatures, too!

Tweed & Jeans

Jacket: LOFT | Blouse: Urban Outfitters (last seen here) | Jeans: Paige | Shoes: L.K. Bennett | Sunglasses: Karen Walker | Bag: kate spade new york | Necklaces: Ann Taylor, Brian Gavin | Bracelets: David Yurman, Tiffany | Watch: Michele

I happened upon this great sweater-jacket at LOFT recently, and loved how it had the structured look of a blazer, but the softness and comfort of a sweater. It has been easy to style for work or more casually, as I have here.

I like that I've been seeing more bootcut jeans around after having all-skinnies-all-the-time for the last few years. I pulled these Paige jeans out of my closet and decided they paired well with the tweed jacket. The style I'm wearing is the Laurel Canyon, which is still available and is a great fit for petite, slim-hipped ladies. The sizing runs relatively small, and the low rise ensures that the waistband fits snugly and doesn't gap. Although I generally wear a 23 in denim, I wear a 24 in this style.

Layers upon Layers

Coat: J.Crew (temporarily out-of-stock, but love this classic peacoat too) | Top: Limited | Jeans: J.Brand | Scarf: H&M | Sunglasses: Karen Walker | Bag: 3.1 phillip lim, available at Barney's or Otte NY (read my review) | Socks: Nordstrom (no longer available, but I have my eye on these & these) | Boots: Frye Melissa Button (read my review) | Bracelets: David Yurman, Tiffany | Watch: Michele

Last week's warm weather quickly fizzled here in Denver, and it got very, very cold over the weekend (as it did in most of the country, it seems!). When it's this chilly, I love layering nice, thick over-the-knee socks over thin socks and skinny jeans to keep my legs toasty. A big, soft scarf also helps keep the chill at bay. Hope you're all staying warm!
