I can’t believe I totally skipped over Thanksgiving. It’s not that I forgot about it, just that I’m more excited for Christmas. But with Thanksgiving less than 2 weeks away I’m definitely thinking about what I’m going to wear. What you wear all depends on how you celebrate. I personally prefer dressing casual, but no matter what you wear it should be comfortable enough to get you through curling up for the morning parade, stuffing yourself with dinner and then napping through the football games. Well that’s how I spend my day anyway. And I always finish off the day with Charlie Brown’s Thanksgiving.
 So the first outfit is really cozy and even though it’s super casual I couldn’t resist adding in a little sparkle.. The sequin sleeves on this Aerie Shine Tee, are absolutely adorable, as are these Silver Glitter Headbands from Emi-Jay. Then I couldn’t decide between the Bromley Leggings or the Amberstone Leggings from Jack Wills. I would go with the Bromley Leggings because I just love them, but I could understand how they might be a bit too out there than some people would be comfortable with, so the Amberstone leggings offer the same amount of comfort, but in a more understated way. Then for shoes I thought these Minnetonka Concho Feather Moccasins would be perfect. I have a pair of the regular Moccasins from Minnetonka and they’re super cozy, and these ankle bootie ones look even more cozy for winter and are definitely on my list. Finally I finished off the outfit with this adorable Glitter Bow Bracelet from Aerie.

Of course I know that for a lot of people Thanksgiving is a dress up holiday. I though that this Topshop Skater Dress would be adorable with these Polka Dot Tights from Hue. This J.Crew Heart ring is so dainty and cute, I kinda adore it. Then I have 2 different options for shoes, there are these Burgundy heels or these Black Velvet Loafers. I would go for the Loafers because I am not a heels kind of girl. But if you are these burgundy heels are right on trend and absolutely adorable. Finally you can top the outfit off with this Aerie Jeweled Headband. I think it makes this outfit kind of princessy. Which I totally love.

Do you have any Thanksgiving traditions? And what are you planning on wearing?

Before I begin doing my gift guides, I first thought I would tell you guys about my favorite kind of coat for fall and winter.It’s the Duffle Coat. Duffle Coats are probably one of the most classic styles of coats next to the Pea Coat. I remember wanting one since I was a child and discovered that Paddington Bear wore one. So I’ve made a list of my favorites, I especially love the plaid lining that’s in most of these. They’re mostly found done by British designers but I did find a few that were easily accessible here in the States.

The first one is one that I actually own it’s the Duffle Coat from Delias. I have this in Navy Blue and it’s perfect, and at a really great price. The only thing I would change about it is it doesn’t have the plaid lining that I love in all the other one. Honestly I hate when coats have that satiny sort of lining, because if you’re just wearing a tee shirt and it’s cold out side then the lining is cold.  But for $79.50, it’s really not a bad deal. Plus it’s nearly an exact copy of one of the Topshop Coats that Taylor Swift owns, the one that I feel in love with 2 years ago.

Next up is this Hooded Wool-Felt Duffle Coat from Burberry. This is sort of my dream coat. Really I love Burberry, I’m absolutely obsessed with it. It’s insanely expensive at $895, which makes me sad since that means I can’t possibly own this coat anytime soon. But I adore it. It’s got the classic Burberry check for the lining, and it’s a lovely gray that will go everything and is really the perfect winter coat.

Then there is the Navy Wool Buttermere Duffle Coat from Barbour. I really like this coat, but at $400+ usd I’d rather save for the Burberry. But it’s still a really nice coat, and it’s lined in the Barbour tartan fabric, which  would make this a warm snuggly coat where you don’t have to worry about a cold lining.

There’s also this Gloverall Long Duffle Coat in Cranberry. This coat is knee length whereas the others hit at your hip or mid thigh. It’s definitely good if you want to stay warmer or are interested in a longer coat to go with dresses. I really like the color of this and the matching red check lining. It’s £295 and I don’t know if they ship to the states. Plus since they’re kinda the ones who did Duffle coats first, so Gloverall bears some looking into.

Now this next one from American Eagle is a men’s coat and it’s the AE Hooded Duffle Coat on sale right now for $130. This one has a lovely navy and red check lining and looks very snuggly. I had to throw in a coat for the guys, but honestly Duffle coats are gender neutral so the ladies could pull this one off as well.

Okay I sort of love Superdry almost as much as I love Burberry, and I would totally snatch their Classic Duffle Coat if I had the expendable cash, but unfortunately right now $330 is a bit out of my price range. They also have a men’s version of this that as far as I can tell only the lining is different. Hopefully they’ll have a Christmas or end of Winter sale, and I’ll be able to pick it up.

Finally is this Bound Seam Duffle Coat from Topshop. Taylor Swift also owns this coat. Is the fact that Taylor Swift has this coat a good reason to buy it, probably not. But the fact that it’s warm and cute are good reason to buy it. The lining is adorable and it’s perfect if you just turn the sleeves up a bit. and at $178 it seems like a perfectly reasonable price to pay for a coat you’ll probably wear for a few years. 

If you need a coat now I recommend finding your favorite and snagging it, but if you’re like me and get a new coat every year, then if I were you, I’d do what I do and wait til they go on sale. At the end of Season, or buy in mid summer like I did with my Delias coat.

Honestly though I am getting a bit tired of the coat exchange and am going to start investing a bit more in my coats so I like them better and they’ll be warmer, because once it snows I’ll probably have to pull out my Kenneth Cole Reaction Down Coat which I have in the Mocha color. But even that one is a bit cold because of the lining. I think I’m going to start saving for a Superdry coat.

Since I posted my perfect outfit for staying in and watching a movie, I decided to also post my perfect Snow Day outfit. I actually mentioned that I have a dream playing in the snow outfit  in an older post about my obsession with Hunter boots, well this is that outfit. This outfit is very preppy and snuggly at the same time, absolutely perfect for a date to go sledding or building a snow fort. This is also the perfect outfit for an outdoor Christmas fair, or even Christmas Tree Shopping. I like how you’d still be bundled up and completely warm, but you’d still be completely adorable. Lets get into the details of the outfit.

Starting with the base of this outfit is this Jack Wills Wellbrook Shrunken Cable sweater. I love cable knit sweaters, and this one with it’s mixed chunky cables is just adorable. It’s a little on the pricey end at $128, but it is a classic. Definitely well worth it for something you’re going to wear for the rest of your life.
Obviously you’ll need some skinny jeans, and I chose these Jeggings from American Eagle. These are super cute, and cozy since they’re jeggings rather than jeans, but make sure you size up as they tend to run small. Bonus these are on sale right now for $34.99. I’ve owned these before and wore them to their death, maybe I should pick up another pair while they’re on sale.
Then for outerwear I chose this Eton Quilted Jacket for Jack Wills, it’s an updated version of the classic British Hacking Jacket, and I think it’s so cute and preppy. It’s $148 and definitely a classic piece.
I also chose the Bostonian Beanie from Superdry, it’s $40 and very well worth the price. Superdry hats are the coziest snuggliest hats ever. I love the flakey charcoal color, it’s one of my favorite colors for winter, and well forever.
For a scarf I thought this Wool Plaid scarf from J.Crew was absolutely adorable. It’s $49.50, and even though it’s lightweight, since it’s made out of wool, it’s still really warm without adding a ton of bulk to your outfit.
And of course if you’re playing outside, you’ll need mittens and these Moss Stitch Convertable Mittens are absolutely cozy and snuggly and a bargain at $24.95.
Finally my favorite part of this outfit Red Original Short Gloss Hunter Boots and Hunter Wellie Socks in cream. This is probably my favorite part of this outfit. As well all know I adore Hunter Boots to the point that I’m absolutely obsessed with them. If I don’t buy anything else on this list I will definitely be getting these, and Hopefully soon. The boots are $125 and the socks are $25. The Wellie socks are especially important because they turn the boots into snow boots. They keep you’re feet extra warm, especially since you can wear regular socks underneath these. I could go on and on about these and actually I already have.

Do you have any wintery dates planned? What do you plan to wear? Lemme know in the comments.
