I'm not wishing summer away..

Merely preparing myself for the sudden change to winter here in Alberta.


Nah.. I saw it, fell in love with it, and couldn't stop thinking about it..so I knew it was the right winter jacket for me.

I like pieces that will last for at least a few years, that makes it worth a little investment.

This cashmere/ wool blend Cocoon jacket will absolutely be with me for winters to come... when they come. Seriously, no rush.. :)

YUP, it's that time of year here in Alberta. The flurries are starting and we are dropping to negative temperatures in the evenings, BRRRR. I won't complain.. I love the cosy, wrap up, layer up clothes ( for a few months anyway ..not 3/4 of the year we usually have .. anyway.. ) These pieces struck me -

my favorite, wool jackets belted with a brown leather belt. I added this style ( not this exact one, but a black jacket and wider belt ) to my wardrobe, and this will be my 3rd winter wearing it. I also love my high necked black wool jacket with my over the shoulder Louis Vuitton bag, similar to this one, mines a few years old, 3 actually, it was Kevin christmas gift to me after L was born :). sorry rambling. Something about the black / brown mix -

The lovely Catherine at Rikshaw Design has these llbean boots stuck in my head, aren't they awesome? Thanks alot C ;)
