Wrapped Up

Wearing a blanket outside of the house used to be reserved for days of extreme hangover or tailgating a football game (or a combination of both).

Now, thanks largely in part to Burberry sending some of the fashionable elite monogrammed versions of their latest "blanket poncho". This is especially exciting for those located in areas where the next five months can bring nothing but cold stinging noses and frozen toes until the April/May thaw.

The thought of never removing our blankets is one I can definitely get behind and where fashion really has met function in the coziest way possible.

InStyle

From Olivia Palermo to Cara Delevigne, most of the figures whose style I aim to somewhat emulate have been donning this comfy hybrid, meaning my inclination toward buying one of my own is increasing by the day (good marketing, Burberry! If only I could afford your version..)

Instead of taking out some loans to get my own personalized Burberry blanket cape, I have found some more fiscally responsible versions to get wrapped up in.
(Although the DIY possibilities are endless with this, especially with cute festive blankets being sold essentially everywhere, go nuts!)

Fall Wish List

Pretty much summed up from the title, these are the pieces that hopefully stumble home one night and find themselves in my closet....hopefully within the next few weeks.

Worth the InVESTment?

By glancing at photos of my middle school years, it is clear that this gal has never said no to a good vest. Aside from the fact that a very fetching maroon knit vest that accompanied my school uniform, every fall meant purchasing a brand new puffer vest for the cooler months.

Although this puffer vest fascination waned throughout my formative years (although never fully disappeared), the next vest purchases were during my college years and were an army cargo vest, a leather moto vest (something I may not have worn as much as anticipated), and what girl didn't dabble in the faux-fur vest trend?

However, an emerging trend this fall has been of the more formal and longer length vest varieties. As I laid eyes upon these amazing structures of wool and leather, my vest obsession (obvestssion?) came hurdling back into view.

...and also Olivia Palermo (aka my queen) rocked the heck out of an orange version which is reason enough to try it out.

DailyMail

Although initially, with my views of the traditional puffer vest fresh in my mind, these new silhouettes seemed more like sleeveless coats as opposed to vests, a distinction I realized that was only important in my own personal repertoire, really.

With much help from an article on my favorite website (dare I say, of all time?), Refinery29, I have compiled a list of some of my favorites – from the affordable to the take-out-a-loan-dare-to-dream variety.
