This weekend we got the most snow we've had so far!  Two feet just over Saturday to Sunday and I was thankful to be snowed in with my family at my parents house where there are copious DVDs and a fresh haul of snacks and brewski.  

 Luckily the weather was cold and miserable to drive in but not so bad to be standing or walking in.  It was actually quite a beautiful day, Saturday, with the snow falling at a steady rate.  

It's weather like this that makes a style blogger cringe; the thought of having to wear practical clothing and footwear verses what you want to wear is dreadful.   You may have caught on Instagram that I purchased a new pair of snow boots this weekend; Sorel, and I got a killer deal at DSW.  You will likely be seeing them in an upcoming post as it's still snowing as I write this.  

I have a few fun link ups and features planned for you this week!

As always, thank you for stopping by!

stay classy and warm

my favorite puffer vest

Truly.  This vest was $10 at Walmart.  And just after I admired the J.Crew Factory version longingly sighing to myself about how much saving I'd have to do to afford said gorge vest.  I just happened to be waltzing through Wally-World (which I never do mind you, but friends on Instagram and their thrifty finds, man!)  and BAM (just like Emeril) there they were.  Rows of pink, navy, black, purple and teal puffy vests.  Oh my I said to myself, I must see if they have my size and honestly, I though when I picked up the tag it was sure to say $29.99 or something in that range.  I gasped at the $9.99 tag and immediately called my sisters to see if anyone else wanted one.   

This is one of many ways I've worn the vest.  If you follow along on Instagram (if you don't, you should... ) you know I wear this thing all.  the.  time.  

Ah! So I have some exciting news - I was invited to the LOFT Concept Store Grand Opening here in Rochester tomorrow night!  It's from 6-9 at the Greece Ridge Mall and if you're in the area you should stop by!!   I can't wait to cover the opening and share the experience with all of you! 

How's your week going?
