{ cocooned }

i really, really wanted to shed my faux fur and show you all what i wore underneath, but... it is just too, too, TOO COLD. so it seems this post will have to be all about the coat!

i scored this beauty at the same favorite austin shop where i found THIS FROCK. it was challenging to cart back to new york, as it stubbornly refused to fit in either my suitcase or the airplane's overhead bin. nevertheless, it was worth the effort ~ it's just the sort of thing i need for day and night, when i want to feel elegant, despite the frost's too-cruel bite.

{ lanvin for h+m sunnies, vintage faux fur & mink-trimmed coat, juicy couture bag, no-name OTK boots }

That coat find from Austin is so beautiful and extravagant, I ADORE it. Glad you were able to take some pics despite winter's harsh bite. I can still catch a glimpse of the frock you are wearing underneath the fab coat, it's very pretty.

Stay warm dear!

the fact the coat is vintage makes me extremely happy. also, i am obsessed with those boot.

Unknown said...

Thank you for being "real" and admitting it's too cold to take off your coat in NYC!

When I buy big vintage coats on vacation I usually just wear them on the plane. Faux Furs especially!

HannaV said...

loved the photos! your boots and your coat are gorgeous!!!

Too bad it looks like the dress underneath has quite the design to it. I swear every time I see you you make me think Factory Girl and I love it. So classy and fun.

I am in LOVE with this coat! it looks gorgeous on you.

A great option is the Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Mini!!
It's got a similar satchel-like shape with the rocker attitude and is more affordable but still good quality.

You can find it on eBay:

The leather is so soft!! Such a classic, iconic bag with an attitude!!
Love it!!! (ipad)
