Stay Warm Loves!!

So it snowed again today.  They let the little ones out of school early today so I went and did my Aunt duties and picked them up.  Decided to take a walk instead of driving since the roads aren't really that good out.  Lucky for me, their school is just up the street so it wasn't a big deal.  I bundled up though because this New England winter weather is no joke.  As you guys can tell in only just a short walk, my coat (brought it from Macy's last year!) was starting to get covered, my Uggs soon followed.

To all those who are dealing with this crazy winter snow, bundle up and stay warm.  It's all about layers today.  For the walk, I wore a simple white, Old Navy hoodie I got last year from my younger sister as a birthday gift, my black got I bought from Macy's last year, a hat that my little brother gave to me, my black wool material leggings and my all black Uggs.  I really was warm today.

Gucci Pre-Fall 2014 Collection

Frida Giannini decided that her Gucci Pre-Fall 2014 would approach would be, it helps to look down.  Using 108-mm platform ankle booties of the Gucci horse-bit loafer which celebrated it sixtieth anniversary this year, gives the collection an almost laidback feel.  

The collection includes elements of sharp hues, controlled volume, amped-up outerwear, and a mix of masculine-feminine appeal.  Frida collided colors so close on the spectrum that it produced a new twist on monochromatic.  Throughout the collection, she emphasized layering, then showed a day-to-night dress that had generous sleeves that were offset by a butterfly shaped basque, twice we hybridized of the classic Perfecto: elongating it into a dress coat then covering it in extra-plush gray shearling.

Don't think the label forgot about it's leg baring pieces. The collection has mini dresses and thigh baring skirts.  Still the collection gave a nod to classic femininity using peplum belts to cinch the waists of their dresses, pleated dresses and flare-waist coats.  

This year, the signature sex appeal look that Gucci is well known and recognized for is outdone sleek sportswear this season.  Giannini's use of luxe fabrications, a leather shirt this as rice paper and a chubby in goat and Mongolian lamb fur are translated into not being impractical.  The same could be said about the range of handbags the line incorporates.  Embossed Diamante pattern is applied to clutches, buckets, and large double handle tote shaped bags.  It's safe to say, that while it isn't the usual Gucci style, it is a knockout, home run for the infamous line.

Winter Time Swag

Welp it's that time again guys and dolls! It is the winter time, the time where every person I know wishes that the summer would be here the very next day.  With all that cold weather, a lot of people enjoy staying in their homes, while others enjoy their time in the cold. I used to be one of the people who liked to spend their time in their homes where it is toasty and warm.  It wasn't until I started searching the web for some warm clothing to add to my collection, did I get excited about going winter clothes shopping.  Along the way I found some of my favorite pieces that I just can't wait to purchase.
