Lookbook : Hot Pink Coat & Personalized Necklace

Out of the blue, in the middle of'polar vortex' we had a 50 degrees day. That meant, I could forgo the down jacket and three layers of clothing for a colorful, light coat and trade the snow boots for my heeled pumps! Although it started drizzling as soon as we got ready to take pictures and I had to abandon my plans of going out really quickly! This coat was an impulse buy as I was not sure of how it will fit (it was available only online). Target Merona® Women's Shawl Collar Coat in hot pink is my new favorite winter coat, albeit for days when weather is above 40 degrees. It is fully lined, fits true to size and drapes well. The only complaint I had was that it came folded in a box and I could not make the creases in the fabric go even after ironing it twice. I think I need to use steam iron, or just hang it in the closet for it to 'unfold' itself with time. LOL! It is on sale on Target as we speak! If you like it grab it ASAP (if it is still available in your size!)

One of the chicest trend in jewelry lately has been monogramming and personalizing. O Necklace (Facebook Page - oNecklace) have some great options for personalizing and monogramming. From initials to full names to personalizing charms, O Necklace have 18-24 carat gold plated or sterling silver jewelry. I loved the infinity jewelry and the stylized initial necklaces a lot. They will be a great gift for moms and best friends for Valentine's day and a great gift for yourself too!

The contest asks participants to submit their photos depicting their take on the weekly trends. Each week, Glam.com editorial team will pick one winner who will receive a $100 AMEX giftcard. The grand prize of the contest is a fabulous fashionable trip to NYC! From colorful faux furs to winter pastels to oversized outerwear, the trends challenge so far has been inspiring, interesting and so much fun. This week's trend is 'Intricate Embellishments' and it is my favorite trend so far!

I love the embellished details in an outfit - it gives the bling edge to any look and style. For this week's 'trends To Try' challenge, I used my embellished collar. It has chunky crystals embroidered on a piece of fabric. The ribbons make it easy to place and tie around the neckline of any top ! A 'detachable', versatile, inexpensive embellished accessory to dress up any Tshirt, sweater, sweatshirt and blouse and to make them party ready.
