Happy Valentine’s Day ya’ll! Now that I’m finally back from New York fashion week, I’m totally wiped out. Instead of flowers and romance today, I’ll be dealing with laundry, errands and catching up on some work. I leave for Austin on Wednesday and Carmel the following Monday, and I have a lot to do before I head out! I think I’ll have spent a total of 10 days in Dallas the whole month of February. Traveling is certainly fun and exciting, but it makes everything just a bit more hectic, don’t you think? It’s hard to be away from your home base for so long. When I head back to Austin, it means I’ll have to return this gorgeous coat to it’s rightful owner (my sister). I wore it practically every day while in NYC. The fur sleeves make just the right statement without being too overly dramatic, and the classic trench fit works with every outfit. You can’t really see my dress, but it’s the same one I wore in this post awhile back. It was perfect for the freezing temps since it’s long-sleeved and very thick fabric. The one mistake I made was not bringing any earmuffs or gloves – what is wrong with me? Luckily I was able to borrow this pretty pair from my friend Patti. Don’t they look perfect with my coat and furry Fendis? They’re real rabbit fur and only $60, which I think is pretty rad.
