Rainy Days in Norcal

I am going home to Northern California this weekend and it is supposed to be rainy and cold the whole time I am there. My family and I intend on just hanging out and we don't have anything glamorous planned like my last trip home where we had a jam packed weekend of fancy restaurants, an overnight in Napa and a day trip to Monterey. Because of our laid back agenda, I am only packing comfortable "rainy day" clothes like rain boots, jelly flats (so they wont be ruined if they get wet) and a north face rain jacket and fleece. I like the idea of brightening up all the overcast days ahead of me with a bright watch like the Michael Kors one below, and since I will not be getting any color on this vacation, I intend to brighten my complexion with some much needed bronzer and highlighting cream.

Faux Fur

Today I went shopping with some girlfriends and I found the CUTEST faux fur jacket by Dolce Vita. It is unbelievably soft for a faux fur and its front pockets and slouchy hood are not only adorable, but chic! I can't stop thinking about this jacket, and I just might have to get it. Plus how cute would it be when it starts to snow!? Faux fur is a fun way to change up your winter wardrobe and still stay warm and cozy without wearing the usual black coat.

Available at Nordstrom and Urban Outfitters.

Military Chic

This fall it's all about military inspired duds, and I am loving everything about it. The olive and tans are a great addition to most peoples all-black fall and winter wardrobe. My favorite look is the cargo pants. The ones below are by J Brand, however there are many different versions of them at all different price points. Pair them with a plain white t-shirt and a tan cardigan, or try a striped sweater for a more playful look.
