Lookbook : Red Military Coat, Plaid Blanket Scarf

And we had the snow in New York! Not the kind that piles on, but still a bleak reminder that suede boots and light coats are going to get their hours cut! LOL! For the chilly weather, the oversized blanket scarf is my go-to piece. It doesn't have to be all wool. Really, even an all acrylic scarf will keep you warm and toasty just because there is so much of it! With my red military coat, this OASAP scarf goes nicely. BTW, I have used OASAP clothing which was a total disaster for me - the quality was awful and the workmanship was very shoddy, but their scarves are really good value for the money. This one looks and feels exactly like Zara (I have a similar plaid Zara scarf too). I guess all these Chinese companies sell either the brand name surplus (like the overstock or sample pieces for Zara/H&M etc - which might be similar quality to these stores) or they create garments from copying the samples (those are really junk!) So as per my opinion, these scarves are a good buy, but I would not recommend their clothing.

Lookbook : Plaid Pea Coat, Hunter Boots & Accents Of Red

Today's outfit features the amazing deals I scored during the Holiday sale. I love the red wellies and deliciously red Hunter boots were 30% off on Piperlime, needless to say, I scooped them right up! If you love them, they are 20% off TODAY ONLY with coupon code 'MODERN'. I am true size 8, and these fit true to size (contrary to some reviews that they run large) and with a pair of woolen/thermal socks they make  good alternative for snow boots if you plan to be in snow for a short period of time. The look and feel is really nice as you would expect from Hunter boots. My heart is set on these ones in cheery yellow too - great pair to brighten up any dreary rainy day.
Another Holiday deal I scored was this pea coat from Old Navy. Feels and looks much better in person than in pictures and colors look great. It is just for $30 now and for limited time, you can save extra 15% online with code 'ONSAVENOW'. I am a size small in Old Navy clothes and this coat fits me well in size small, with enough room for a sweater underneath to layer up.

I have been knitting cowls and infinity scarves like crazy lately! My mom is a great knitter and I learned the basic technique from her when I was young. But never picked up knitting to finish up a project until last year. I love making scarves and hats as they are small projects and I can custom make them in any color and size I want. I think there are some great knitting/crochet blogs and tutorials out there but I tweaked the patterns to make them my own. If you would like any tutorials, please let me know.

The temperature may be going down every day, but the style factor of your outfits don't have to come down with it. Specially with the Holiday parties around the corner. All those summer work out for toning up the gams have to pay up now, I say! To keep the legs cozy and warm and 100% stylish, a great pair of tights/stockings is a must-have for winters. Duane Reade knows this too! They have some really chic, festive, party-ready hosiery in stores that can make your outfit shine and keep you comfortable. DR hosiery not only accessorizes your party outfit, but also takes your casual outfit to another level. I wore this outfit for a casual Holiday afternoon get together at a friend's place and  my  polka dot tights from Duane Reade make this simple sweater and knit skirt outfit very polished and fun at the same time! With DR LEgwear, your legs are your accessories!
