Winter is here!
I really hoped that it was over after our deep freeze with temperatures of -40 degrees Celsius over the Christmas Holiday’s but no it wasn’t. Last week the temperature dropped again. Today it has started snowing. I have come to realize that every girl needs at least two types of coats this winter season.
The first is your puffer/parka jacket. In my opinion, these jackets are prefect for running errands, partaking in winter activities such as skiing, sleighing, etc and for being on the go. The other is a stylish wool coat for those nights out on the town, attending special events and to add that extra “umph” to your outfits.
I actually own two such coats. My first one is from Aritzia and the second is from Niche Fashion Luxury, a Vancouver based boutique (as featured). What I really love about this coat is its design with the waterfall/drape neckline and A-Line cut. I find that it’s really flattering on almost all body shapes. Secondly, the material is so soft and it keeps me warm. I don’t think this coat can be worn on those -40 days but for those warmer winter days, it’s perfect. I also really like the fact that this coat is Made in Canada. Rarely do I find clothes that are locally made.
I’m a huge fan of Kate Middleton and all her wool coats and now Meghan Markle. They wear these coats with such class and ease. A wool coat is a great statement piece that takes any outfit from an 8 to a 10!
Some girls are into shoes and other purses. I’m a coat girl. My husband’s very first gift to me while we were dating was a beautiful white wool coat. Because it was white, I rarely wore it out. Now, I regret not wearing it because it no longer fits.
Stay warm and remember no matter the color, coats are meant to be worn!

This robe- style coat is so fabulous, and it’s such a nice shade of gray. It’s crazy how much it is snowing where you are! Tokyo never snows this much, or at least it hasn’t in a few years!
It snows alot and is very cold. I’m so excited to read more about Tokyo. I really want to visit. Hopefully later this year
Aritzia has amazing coats! I donโt own any items from them but Iโve heard they have great high quality items so Iโm definitely loving your look!
Aritzia has some great clothes. Hopefully you can get something soon!
I absolutely love winter only to get creative on my layers outfits. I absolutely love your jacket and bag.

Hi Eva,
I couldn’t agree more. These types of coats are truly an investment and keep you both warm and in style. Xo
Your coat is so chic. I absolutely love the color and the fact that it looks like you can wear that coat with everything in your closet, Such a gorgeous winter staple!
xo, Jo
I totally agree with you. It’s such a great winter staple coat.
OMG, you legitimately live in a winter wonderland! I’m so jealous (I live in Cali). Really wishing I could rock some of your winter styles.

Hi Sheree,
Winter wonderland it is..but sometimes it gets ridiculously cold. I’m so jealous you live in a warm environment. Always want what we can’t have. ๐
I love anything Aritiza makes! I have a coat that I bought a few years ago and it’s seriously the warmest and most durable coat. I’m loving your gray coat so much. I’ve been into coats these days too. I just bought a Kenneth Cole gray one similar to yours!
Love this coat!! I’m coat’s person and I love long coats. I always have a soft spot for monochrome and minimal style!!! This coat is so me!! Love it!! and It looks so cozy and warm! Thanks for sharing!

Iโve been looking into getting another coat! I love the color of this coat and that itโs soft and warm like you said! Will definitely have to look into it. Iโm a coat girl too! And booties as well ๐
You should totally consider this one. It’s 100% wool and quite warm. Coat girls xoxo
Oh, I don’t miss this freezing weather. I grow up in Kazakhstan and having -40C was normal. I wear wool coats as soon it hits 10C only. For colder temperature, I definitely go for puffer.
Hey Sweetie:)
How are you?
So Beautiful Winter Style photos, and Need that coat:) Love Everything about your Look:)

I absolutely love Kate Middleton style, it’s so elegant and always so charming. This coat looks so good on you, the colour is so pretty. You can’t go wrong with such classy piece.

I love Kate’s style. It’s so nice and glad you think so as well. Thanks for the kind words. ๐
I can imagine those freezing temperatures. Itโs always very cold in Russia in the winter. I prefer to stay at home or to wear a puffy jacket (itโs really warm, but not beautifull at all). I love your gray coat, it looks so beautiful !
We all have one of those not so nice puffy jackets that keeps us warm. I’ve always wanted to visit Russia.
The weather won’t make up its mind here either. It was hot a couple of days ago, cold yesterday and hot again today. I’d say you wear that grey coat with ease like Meghan too! ๐ What a beautiful look for winter!

Thanks so much Candace. You totally made my day with your super sweet words about matching Meghan!
I find it so difficult to dress well when the temperatures are so low, somehow I always end up buried in layers. I love the way you styled the whole outfit and the Antigona is my all time favorite bag!
You look gorgeous btw!
Thanks so much for the lovely comment. Winter dressing is tough and you’e right layers are a girls best friend. Xo.
Beautiful look! I like winter and mostly because I can wear beautiful coats.
