Friends, meet my newest handbag obsession: Dagne Dover.  You might have seen my instagram a few weeks ago but I found them on Instagram over Thanksgiving and instantly fell in love.  Serendipitously I was then invited to an event with Well Kept at the Dagne Dover pop up shop where I was able to see the bags first hand and it was love at first crossbody.  They are such good quality, beautifully built and the colors are soo good.  Oh and they have all the perfect pockets and compartments to keep everything beyond organized (the mini I'm wearing has a padded pocket for a tablet!).

I can't even begin to tell you how much I love this sweater (and the fact that it's so affordable makes me question when I'll pull the trigger and purchase in the other colors) and it was a serious staple when I was home for the holidays.  Before I left to go home, New York City had been experiencing very temperate weather so I didn't quite know what to expect when my mom told me Reno was expecting highs of 30.  50/60 degrees to 30s?  Woof.  I literally packed every sweater I own and all the long sleeve shirts possible so I could layer correctly.  
 
I also have to admit that I think this vest was my best purchase for the cold weather season - it's so light but so warm making it the perfect layer. It was a key piece while I dealt with the cold at home!
 
What's been your cold weather go-to this season?

Also a little outtake for you today as I almost fell on my ass in the snow - I'm shocked I didn't break my neck falling on all the ice and snow we had.  I learned that NONE of the shoes I had with me had any traction...

It's always dangerous when I shop after a nice long brunch and I have to admit, I sometimes walk away with pieces I'm really not sure about later.  Two Christmas' ago, I spent a weekend in San Francisco with my best friends before heading home for the holidays and that very thing happened.  I went to my first (bottomless) gospel brunch and then we walked all over San Francisco popping in and out of stores.  In this random boutique I spotted this pink fluffy sweater/coat and knew I had to have it (or well, post-brunch me definitely thought I had to have it).  I wore it for New Year's Eve that year and then it basically sat in my closet the rest of the time because again, I just wasn't sure about it.  Earlier this year when I was going through clothes, I told myself that I had to wear this guy at least twice or it was being donated.  Sure enough, I've worn it at least twice and I anticipate a few more wears out of it before it gets too warm!  Check out a few similar options below!

The Right... Duster Coat

I'm so glad I was able to snap these pics while it was still unseasonably warm (yesterday evening it was "real feel" 10 degrees!).  I saw the duster coats all over for fall and finally broke down and added one to my wardrobe right before Thanksgiving.  I love the drape on the front but I have to admit I had a hard time styling it because it was so long and it threw me off a little!  I decided to keep everything else simple with clean lines.  Have you tried out the duster coat trend yet?  What are your thoughts on them?
