Candy Coat…

I saw this girl on my way to work today and in a sea of head-to-toe black, I couldn’t help but notice her vibrant winter coat. She was bundled up but looked so adorable in a patterned hat and tights…

The weather in NYC has been so wacky recently! We’ve had negative wind chills, spring-like afternoons, snow, sleet, rain, and sunshine all in a matter of a few weeks… which makes it a bit difficult to get dressed in the morning. Here’s to looking chic when the wind is fierce and it’s barely 10 degrees!

I’ve been wearing Miss Dior Chérie for a good three years now and love how it smells on my skin. I have only a few spritzes left so I went to the store in search of a replacement only to find it had been discontinued!

The name has changed to just ‘Miss Dior’ and the top notes aren’t the same… still haven’t decided if I’ll purchase the new one so I keep going back to the counter, spritzing the paper test strips and leaving them in my pockets =) Maybe it will grow on me?
