Weekender: Stylishly Cozy

Posted on October 7, 2012 by cocoa & lace

It’s been a chilly weekend in the Windy City as the Irish played the Hurricanes at iconic Soldier Field and runners took their marks at the 35th annual Chicago Marathon (photos to come!). But just because it’s layering season doesn’t mean you have to hide your style under bulky cold weather gear. I opt for knits, cords, and scarves to beat the cold while saying no to snowman style silhouettes. See what I mean by scrolling through the outfit below. 🙂

Stay warm!

Weekender: A Little Bit of Leather

Posted on September 23, 2012 by cocoa & lace

Despite my rather belated Weekender post, I just couldn’t let the day slip by without acknowledging the first Sunday of fall. (Forgive my absence in the blogosphere these past few days; I was back at my alma mater for my first football game as an alum.) While my weekend style included layers of Irish gear, forest green colored denim, and two tone riding boots, I offer you an alternative look that combines a feminine blouse with edgy leather-adorned leggings. Consider taking this look to the office with a pair of flats and slipping into leather booties for happy hour once 5 o’clock rolls around.

Enjoy what’s left of your weekend!
