It has been freezing here the past couple of days! And when I say freezing, I mean about 50 degrees (yes, I'm fully aware that as a socal girl, I'm extremely spoiled and the least bit of cold makes me turn into a total baby).

I threw this on and although I love my Missoni for Target scarf, I needed something more for warmth.



Time to bust out the fur! Faux of course, because I would never wear the real thing.






(Minus the)  fur vest and slouchy white top - Express,  Jeggings - Banana Republic,  Boots - BP "Runway" Nordstrom, Earrings - F21, Bag - MNG Mango JCPenney, Nails - Essie Cocktail Bling, Engagement Ring
I also added a rose gold watch and my Tiffany's bracelet after I took these pics



I never thought I would like a fur vest on myself, but my horizons have expanded partly because of reading blogs and partly because of Rachel Zoe. Who doesn't want to emmulate their fashion icons? The key is finding something that works for you, and not trying to look like a carbon copy of someone else. The fact that I made it through the weekend without taking the vest off is a sign that I made a wise choice in buying it. I also stayed very warm. I lit some candles, sipped on a peppermint mocha, curled up with my honey, and watched re-runs of The Rachel Zoe Project. He likes Rachel too :)

  2. I totally know what you mean about Faux fur, it's something I didn't think I'd wear a few years ago and now I love it and you're so right, I'm in Nor Cal and it's extra cold so you guys must be freezing. Have a good night, you look great in this and your missoni for target scarf too.

  14. Ahh, Noelle this is gorgeous! I wish that I could wear a fur vest, but I feel like I'd stick out too much here. I've already had to tone down my style since coming to a big university :/. I really love that you paired this with a slouchy sort of top it gives it a different feel, and I usually see fur vests paired with tighter tops. Your boots look great as well, I love that color leather!
