Watch: Caravalle New York | Coat: Maje (similar) | Sweater: J Crew Cashmere | Leather Skirt: Zara (similar) | Boots: Stuart Weitzman | Beanie: Neff | Handbag: Balenciaga Papier
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, January-March are probably the least fun months on the East Coast. However, this year I’m taking a different approach. Rather than complaining and whining about the weather (like half of my personal Facebook feed), I’m trying to put a positive spin on it. It’s this weather that makes us truly appreciate the first signs of spring, and any other season for that matter. You know what they say, you can’t fully appreciate the good without the bad. I know, I sound kind of cheesy, but trust me, it works. It’s all about the mental mind games I play with myself!
Of course this weather comes with some dressing difficulties, but a few key pieces make me feel put together. Today I’m wearing my Caravelle New York watch from the Black & Gold story and in wanting to really make the watch pop, I layered it on top of my all my leather-esque outfit. I love how versatile their watches are. In case you missed it, I wore the watch from their Rose & Mocha story here. Stay warm!

Hey Helena! I totally agree on the East Coast rut! I've been living in skinny jeans and flat boots for the last 2 weeks and finally got myself together today and put some effort into my look. It can be challenging when it is so damn cold out 🙁 But cheers to keeping it fashion forward and standing out in that red!

I totally agree! I'm in MN and trust me my whining starts in October and doens't end till April. It's especially difficult to want to dress in anything other than sweats inside and a parka outside. I'm trying to be positive this winter and am dressing with a little whimsical spirit like in my post today – snow queen in winter wonderland. Check it out!
Cheers!
