Currently Coveting - Winter Essentials (Featuring Hollister & Co., UGG Australia, J. Crew, Dorothy Perkins)

Winter Holidays are fast approaching.

 

Tis the season for boots, thick scarves, and warm layers!




Hollister Arrow Point Parka in Olive - I love Hollister jackets, particularly ones with fur hoods. I've been wanting an olive or army green colored winter jacket for this season!

J. Crew Chevron Checker Snood - Warm knit scarves are one of my winter essentials! This chevron patterned neutral colored scarf (or snood) is beautiful.

Dorothy Perkins Camel Two Toned Knitted Snood - This is a cheaper (more affordable) version of the J. Crew Snood. Still super cute and something to keep you warm this winter.

UGG Classic Short Boots in Gray & Pink - I've been converted to an UGG boot lover after purchasing my first pair back in November of 2012. These two pairs are super cute!


What are your winter essentials?

XOXO

October 2012 Haul

 

I can't believe it's already November. This year is flying by! I've done a lot more shopping this month than I'm used to. I've kept my promise of the no nonsense makeup ban though! :)

MAC Brush Cleanser ($14)

This is the second bottle I've bought. I'm almost done with my first and I figured I would buy it before that ran out. Its something that's a staple - clean brushes are important! For the price and size, it's a pretty good deal. Its taken me over a year to use it up. I bought my first one last September which I featured in this post.






MAC 224 Tapered Blending Brush ($31)

I've wanted this brush for a while and decided one day to just buy it! This is great for blending. I don't think this brush is a must have (at the moment) but I do enjoy it and would recommend it.




UGG Australia Women's Bailey Button Boots in Chestnut ($164)

I decided a few months ago that I wanted ugg boots. I kept looking at them everytime I went until Dillards and couldn't decide if I wanted the traditional boots or the ones with the buttons. I think these are easier to put on compared to the traditional boots at the same height. These were the ones I chose and they are so soft and warm!

UGG Australia Sheepskin Stain & Water Repellent ($8)

Since I paid so much for the boots, I knew that I would want to do anything to preserve the life of them. Boots get so gross during the winter from the salt so I decided to buy this before the first snow fall of the season.






Apt. 9 Midcalf Boots in Black ($49.99)

About a month ago, I decided that since I have a pair of brown boots, I wanted a pair of black boots next. I like these because they aren't too high. They aren't suede so I won't have to worry about them in the rain or snow. I bought these during the Kohl's sale.

 

Croft and Barrow Boat Shoes ($38.99)

 

I've wanted boat shoes/sperries for awhile. I never wanted to splurge on them though, so I never bought them. During a Kohl's promotion, I was able to get these babies on sale! They look very similar to the Sperry Top-Sider Angelfish Boat Shoes that I featured in another blog. Those retail for $80.

Slippers ($10)

I was hoping the slippers I got for this past Christmas would last until this Christmas. However, I desperately needed a new pair. Mine were falling apart. I found these in a shoe store in the Shoe Department at the mall. They are so soft and comfortable.




Scarves (under $10 each)

I don't remember the exact price of these scarves but I bought them on sale. The first one is from New York and Company. The second one is from Charlotte Russe.





Vivani Cuff Watch (under $20)

I bought this watch from the Kohl's sale. I don't remember the exact price but it was under $20. I wanted a gold based watch, however I choose this one that was both gold & silver based. I've been loving this watch because it's also square shaped which has been something that I've been eyeing for a while!




Jennifer Lopez Faux-Suede Motorcycle Jacket ($70)

I fell in love with this jacket as soon as I saw it on a maniquin. This is from Kohl's and I got it at a discount during the sale as well. This is so warm and soft. It would be PERFECT if it had a hood and was a little bit longer. This is a crop like jacket. It falls slightly above or almost at your belt loops on your jeans.

That is everything that I've bought this month! I don't usually include the work clothing that I find from the Goodwill. If anyone wants me to do a post on my work/dress clothes, let me know.

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes

I think you can never have enough shoes! Shoes are my items of choice to splurge money on. Here are some gems that I found online that I seriously want to add to my shoe collection.

Coach Leticia Heel ($188)

Suprisingly I do not own a pair of plain black pumps. The black pumps I do own have either buttons or studs on them. This look like they wouldn't be too high, so I could wear them without my feet killing me!

Sperry Top-Sider Angelfish Boat Shoes ($80)

I have wanted boat shoes for about a year and a half now. They are so cute! I will eventually allow my self to buy them. I usually talk my self out of them because of the price tag.

BCBGeneration Embers Flats ($39.99)

These are so cute! I love that these are simple but with a little something extra. I usually don't like patent/shiny material, however it works with this shoe. I also love the bow!

Steven by Steve Madden Riskey Leather Booties ($179.99)


I am in love! Boots are definitely my favorite type of shoe to wear. I don't own any like this pair which makes me want them so bad. They come in black and brown, however I think the brown would go with more of my clothing choices.



Women's Mossimo® Katherine Harness Boot ($59.99)


These are knockoffs of the Frye 12R boots that I have been drooling over for the past year. However, for $200+ I can't splurge on them. These babies look almost exactly the same as the higher price tag version. These come in black and brown. For the price tag, I could get both and still save some money! Target states on their website that these are made with geniune leather.
