How to wear: Hiking boots (and Parkas)

If its two things thing I look forward to the the wintertime-it's wearing hiking boots and parkas. Whenever it gets the slightest bit chilly here in SoCal, I take the opportunity to wear all the layers I can. Great places to buy parkas are Topshop, Urban Outfitters, ASOS, and Zara- those are just the ones I can think of at the moment. For hiking boots, I feel that Sorel or Timberlands are the best of the best (I prefer Sorel just because of their versatility). Here are some sets I made if you're interested in wearing hiking boots, parkas, or both! xx

November Favorites

Clothes: As soon as somebody put up their Sparkle+Fade Coat on eBay, I grabbed it as fast as possible. Everyone has been raving about this coat since Eleanor Calder wore it and I can see why! This coat is so amazing and cute and uGH. I wear it almost all the time to school and the weather now is started to get chilly and cold so this is a perfect top layer to wear over any sweaters or shirts you're wearing.

Beanies: I've always been a huge fan of beanies and I recently discovered that Topman has my exact style of beanies for half the price- I'm serious! For those girls who love beanies but don't want the girly, glittery, pastel colored beanies that Topshop and other girl stores sell, go to Topman!! I bought this Topman Burgundy Fisherman Rib Beanie and I usually pair it up with a denim shirt and black jeans or a white sweater with a parka over.

Boots: I bought my Adonis2 Suede Cutout Boots last year but have been recently using them all month! They're not heels but still add some hight when you need it-plus they're comfortable!

Television: I've basically succumbed to watching only UK shows-one being Some Girls. It's so funny and my favorite characters are Holli and Amber. I am in love with this show and I hope they make a third season!

Books: Recently I've been into 1800's era novels- such as Charles Dickens. My mom is a huge huge fan so I "borrowed" one of her books, "Nicholas Nickelby" and even though I can't understand 89% of what's going on, I can still kind of understand whats going on...... does that make sense? Probably not but the language they used back then was so beautiful and romantic and natural and I wish that people still spoke like that today instead of 'ay bby wut r u doin' you know? haha.

Just ordered this!



















The Topshop 'Teddy Fur Pea Coat' is extremely similar to Eleanor's Sparkle+Fade Coat. I just ordered this beauty the other day, and I can't wait for it to come in the mail! In the mean time, I decided to put together some outfit ideas to wear with this warm coat for the autumn and fall time.


For the first outfit, I chose a very casual look, especially with the oversized tee. I wanted to keep the monochrome so I chose boots; and for hair, I thought a messy bun would complete the look. 

This outfit I would wear on days where I need to look semi-formal. I chose the Monki grey dress with a Zara basic bag and Blonde&Blonde Cutout boots. I love the accented red on the straps of the purse to give a little more warm color to the whole monochrome outfit.

For this outfit, I chose a very autumn/winter plaid dress from Zara and ASOS high ankle boots. If you haven't noticed, I love maroon and black so I definitely love the pop of color this dress gives off to complete the whole outfit.
Lastly,  this outfit is one for those more colder autumn days. I love the embellished detailing on the sweater. I paired it with the Topshop Moto jeans (aka the most comfortable jeans in the world). This is the look I would definitely wear going to school. 


That's it, hope you liked it (:
