I’m sitting here in a Winnie the Pooh robe trying to distract myself from how cold I am. Its 12 degrees in Toronto, the sun is barely out and its been raining constantly since the weekend. I’m always a bit bummed out in this weather but I’m trying to make the best of it. Unfortunately, I’m still stocked up on summer clothing with very few actual warm pieces to throw on when the weather is this dreadfully cold. Like always, I have to make it work and I’m slowly adding thicker, warmer clothing to my wardrobe.
Thankfully I found the jacket of my dreams this past Sunday when I was shopping with Stina. If you happen to have a Walmart near you (which, lets not kid ourselves, who doesn’t?) I suggest you go check out their stock of jackets. I nabbed this beautiful jacket for $30 which is a major steal. I’ve been searching high and low for the perfect moto jacket and even considered dishing out $100 but Walmart’s alternative is just as good, if not better.
I’m probably going to be investing most of my spare money on boots this winter. One of my biggest pet peeves about the cold weather is having cold feet, that’s just one feeling I cannot deal with. For some odd reason my boots turned out black in these photos but they’re actually a dark brown. I’ve had these for years but I’ve had bad luck every time I wear them. I fractured and sprained my ankle on two separate occasions in these boots so you can probably imagine how cautious I am when it comes to walking in these. They’re just too cute and cozy to put away forever, though. Disregard the mess, by the way. I was in such a rush to leave my house and it ended up looking pretty unkept by the time I was ready to snap a few shots.

I see a lot of people posting music and I’ve been meaning to do that for awhile. I spent a lot of time listening to this song last fall and I can foresee myself listening to it even more this year. Its just one of those songs that makes me feel good and nostalgic at the same time.

I just picked up the same jacket! such a steal.
you look fantastic as always! xxo
Very cute outfit, love your leopard print shirt 🙂
soooo good!
Ahh I love that you have a Winnie the Pooh robe! Meanwhile, that jacket is incredible, and this look is gorgeous!
How are you so gorgeous all the time?
I love this look and can't believe the awesome jacket deal! I picked one up from Joe Fresh in the summer but think I might go try on the Walmart one today. A girl can never have too much faux leather 😉
This outfit is amazing! In Aus there are no walmarts 🙁 and the alternatives usually don't go past a size 16 (UK 20). Sometimes you can find an 18, but they are usually ill-fitting. And plus size ranges tend to be all over the place (eg, at one store I had to buy a pair of size 26 pants, even though I am usually a 20 in bottoms.) and the plus size range is usually frumpy to top it off. I wish Australian retailers would hurry up and cotton on that a whole market would open up to them if they would make bigger sizes in things other than track pants and polo shirts.
Anyway, sorry about that rant :p you look gorgeous!
