Winter white and mossy green is a classic winter combo. I have a thing for outerwear and my collection is always growing. As a New Yorker, coats are the final outfit. This beautiful baby alpaca trench is so delicate that it only comes out on special occasions. Shop a few of my favorites below.

I shot this outerwear story with Source Unknown and these are two very fun investment pieces you’ll want to keep for a lifetime. The suede trench has the perfect oversize shoulder and extra long length…something I’ve been searching for all spring! I love the play on proportions with the tiny gold hot pant and cashmere sweater. Legs are out! The black shearling coat is a statement and look of its own. I’ll throw on for a glamorous night out, dressed down with an oversize low rise trouser and loafer. I live for my outerwear and these are two looks I’ll keep wearing until sweltering summer hits the city.

Varley just opened their absolutely beautiful Soho flagship store and I’ve partnered up with the brand to style the latest from the new winter collection. These are two iconic looks that work in the city or on the slopes. Downtown Manhattan meets Aspen ski lodge. And it’s everything that can fit into your travel carry-on. Fair isles sweaters. A vest and wrap jacket for layering. Sporty caps to finish off each look. I love how Varley does elevated essentials. So wearable, you won’t want winter adventures to end.

I have a few coats from Sentaler and this one may be the most luxurious bouclé alpaca coat ever. They are so worth the investment. This is their latest fit. It’s extra oversize on the shoulder so it has a nice effortless slouch to it. So good, you don’t really need to wear anything else.

The Kanuk BROOKLYN jacket brings out the retro in all of my winter looks. Montreal-Based outerwear brand has launched its first international store here in SoHo at 75 Greene Street and I’m so excited to both look good and feel good in this amazing parka. When the temps drop here by the water, this is what I’m wearing. The Brooklyn has a relaxed and cool loose-fit that definitely feels a lot like home. Who else is also obsessed with green and blue.

In winter, it’s completely acceptable to do oversize everything. Tomboy city chic. Right now, I’m completing my every look with this new coat by Anonie. This emerging Brooklyn based designer brand has mastered the art of outerwear…revamping must-have classics like the 80’s shearling coat but giving them a cool new twist like here, with it’s gorgeous plum detailing and high-low hem. Anonie has made what was once a vintage, bohemian style a lot more clean, minimal, and all around effortless. I am also eyeing the extra luxurious Barracuda coat in bronze, made to be reversible so that you easily get 2 coats for the price of one. Pre-fashion week, im all about discovering emerging designers and curating my closet for the coming month of va-va-voom looks, with pieces that will last forever. Quality versus quantity and less is more is certainly something im embracing more this year. I am actually writing right now from the airplane to Los Angeles. Editing, catching up on emails, and finishing up the last pages of my new read, The Gratitude Diaries by Janice Kaplan, a story on how gratitude and little bits of thanks can change your life. I’ve been wanting to find more ways to be gracious more often towards my life and the good things about it, even when I feel too busy to think about these kind of things. I’m working harder on that. Inspired by the book, I’m trying to focus on the upside of every situation, like the shitty NYC weather. For example, rather than blaming the city for the super low temps and storm heading our way this week, I easily switch up my mood but focusing on why the cold can be a plus . . . more days snuggled up in this stellar Anonie coat. I’ll give any reason to keep it around me as long as I can!

I recently had dinner with Kenneth Cole and his team at one of my favorite spots off Bowery, The Smile. I love how much thought is put into his work… from his original writing to his attention to detail with each and every piece. Truly authentic and original. Continuing to dress NYC in head-to-toe black perfection. I fell hard for this gorgeous coat. It’s fully lined and probably one of the warmest pieces I own. Luscious. Luxurious. It’s seriously this coat against the brutal cold of NYC. You can trust this bad boy will be out again during NYFW. Maybe with a black turtleneck and jeans. Something so simple will genuinely stand out amongst the crazy colorful outfits and frozen toes in stilettos that will be stomping before street style photographers. Though it’s exciting and always a ton of fun for my sister and I, thinking about fashion month already gives me the chills. Brr! For now, I’ll be tucked away in my family’s house in LA gearing up for amazing 2017…fully re-vamped and energized. I’m ready to take you guys on another exciting adventure. It only gets better from here. I can’t tell how much I love you guys.
