The weather has been brutal in Chicago. And I thought winter in NYC was bad! Gracious. The good thing is that this is apparently a passing thing, and the weather is supposed to return to normal (40-degree temps) over the weekend. :) For now, though, I’m throwin’ it back to last week, when things were warm and lovely, and my I could wear my favorite tweed coat instead of a giant puffer. (Ugh.) Because I really can’t handle 12-degree weather anymore. (Seriously–it’s November, and Noodle and I find great difficulty in even walking a single block. #sheesh)

Every girl plays favorites, right? This season, I have a lot on repeat, and I’m sure you’ve noticed how often I’ve been wearing this cable knit sweater and these flats.

What? They’re awesome, okay? ;)

But I have a couple of new favorites to add to my fall/winter uniform: my Gerard Yosca “Kelly” and “Izzy” pendant necklaces. (Such a good name for the first one, no? Hehe.) As it’s been ridiculously cold this week, I’ve been living in oversized, chunky sweaters, but looking to bring a bit of femininity (and excitement!) to my look. Specifically, I’ve been searching for necklaces that are dainty yet make statements… and I’ve finally found them!

Guys, Chicago is freezing. Things are supposed to warm up over the next few days, but today was pretty much unbearable. Poor Noodle! I have her in a sweater and quilted jacket, but her attire simply isn’t cutting it. So much for our daily walks. Maybe we need to upgrade to this little number? And purchase some doggy booties? (Looking for suggestions, if there are any dog owners reading this!)
