Chilly & Casual

COAT: SANDRO (only left in navy) // TOP: FOREVER21 (SIMILAR) // 
PANTS: ZARA (SIMILAR, also love THESE in palm print) // SNEAKERS: C. WONDER (SIMILAR) // 
PURSE: KATE SPADE SATURDAY // SUNNIES: SIMILAR // RINGS: BANANA REPUBLIC (SIMILAR)

Hopefully the chilly days are fiiiinally coming to an end here in NYC, but I’ve loved wearing this olive wool jacket on windy days. The color and lighter weight are perfect for spring and fall, and can even be worn on not so cold days in winter. It has a great little fur collar detailing that’s thinner than most fur collars I’ve seen – it’s nice that it’s not too bulky-feeling for spring. This coat costs around $500 from Sandro, but I actually snagged it for $30 at my fave thrift shop, Beacon’s Closet!!

Fun fact: Apparently karma is a b**** for those who brag about their great jacket finds, because I had an entire venti coffee thrown on me by a stranger while wearing this coat the other day. I just got it back from the dry cleaners and spent about an hour brushing out the fur collar with my teasing comb to get it to look right again.

Good news: it was successful. Bad news: Beauty is pain, people.

Ode To The Earmuff

 Anthropologie Earmuffs

Giving a big sigh today while reading all these fashion blog posts showing open-toed heels and floral blouses proclaiming "Spring is Almost Here!" For those of you living in the frozen tundra that is the northeast, you know that spring is most certainly not here. Spring is still on vacation in Fiji and isn't even thinking about coming home yet. The low today in NYC is 3 degrees. 3 DEGREES. PLUS WIND. 

(Shivers at her desk under her two layers of scarves...). 

So stay bundled is the message of this post. And how to do that fashionably you may ask? Well I think a wool beanie is a cute as the next blogger, but my long, frizz-prone hair + a wool straightjacket pressing it to my head, does not for a good hair day make. Enter the earmuff (music of angels singing here). Keeps you warm where it counts, and won't mess up any 'do. Plus now that we're "supposedly" entering spring soon, there are some good sales to be found on winter wear. I'm wearing my favorite Athro earmuffs, I love how the cream color stands out against my hair, but a pair of black or oxblood ones would look so sleek! Check out some of my favorite fuzzy options below!

Tiny Dog Tuesday: Trotter

And next up.... it's Trotter Pup!

She is (a) extremely fashionable, or (b) the world's most patient french bulldog?

YOU GO GIRL.

Could there BE more cuteness in store? Ohh yes. Meet Winter. Trotterpup's new little bro. Winter looooves Trotter.

Winter also loves naps. 

He's not quite as into jaunty hats as his sister.

They're a pretty big deal in Corgi World. 

They are also a big deal on the internet.

First they were just wee little pups.

And at the ripe age of one, well, they're still

so darn precious.

They are the world's cutest wrestling duo

... but they tucker out fast.

Oh and there are butts...

SOOO many corgi butts on their instagram.

You can follow Corgnelius and Strumphrey on INSTAGRAM , FACEBOOK or TUMBLR

Tiny Dog Tuesday: Sir Stuffington

Happy #TinydogTues! 

APRIL FOOLS!! Today's featured fluffy critter is Sir Stuffington, the cutest grumpy cat (that's not Grumpy Cat) you might not have known about! #Caturday #Gotcha

This is Stuffy. He was born a homeless kitty and lost his eye and part of his jaw in a raccoon attack when he was less than five weeks old. Luckily, he and his two brothers were found and taken to an animal shelter where they were adopted by two awesome moms.

And they dress him up like a pirate!...

... among other things. Here he is as a taco. Naturally.

Arrr he's here for your booty. To raid puppy islands and take mousey captives! 

And photobomb your selfies!

All photos via Facebook: Sir Stuffington

Anyone else see the uncanny Grumpy Cat resemblance?

If you still haven't gotten your Sir Stuffington fix, check out his facebook page HERE 
or read his cute life-story-in-pictures on Buzzfeed HERE.

Ashley
