The middle/end of winter. We freeze and layer, then sweat and delayer. It's a grueling repetition, but it's New York City in the winter. One thing I've learned is to snag a good coat - right now - and set yourself up for next year. I grabbed this Mango (had never been in there before...not bad!) Anorak. It's a removable duck down vest with a goat fur collar, zipped over a wool jacket with leather sleeves. Layerable to the max!

What to Wear: Apres Ski, Part 1

I'm excited. It's officially ski season, and we all know that the most fun part of this exciting, adventurous, sporty activity...is getting drinks at the mountain bar immediately following a freezing cold day of falling in the powdery snow. Here I've rounded up some quick picks in anticipation of snow bunny socialization.

Happy Isabel Marant for H&M Day: DIY Isabel Boot

The time has finally come. The countdown on the H&M website says 11 minutes, and I'm at the point where I might just wait it out and see what happens.

For those of us who do not snag an awesome pair of Isabel boots, I've pulled this DIY out of the old dust closet for you.

Inspired by Isabel Marant Fall 2011 boot collection. 

GET THE LOOK: DIY EDITION

You'll need: Black Boots (I recommend these), Black Suede Fringe, Scissor & Glue Gun

Cut 2-3 strips of fringe per boot. You want a layered/extra fluffy fringe effect!

 After gluing down the first piece of fringe, glue down the second piece about an inch above. 

This will give the boot more body!

I'd still like a pair of Isabel's, however slouch it, style it, and good to go.
