As told by Jessica Steele. Based in NYC.
The thing about snow in New York City is that on the first day or two it looks like this winter wonderland – and by the second or third day it’s all knee deep piles of slush at street crossings and piles of trash bags thawing out from under heaps of white. Which is to say – it’s lost a bit of magic. But we’re New Yorkers.. so we trudge on.

Helloooo snow. After hiding out in the apartment for most of Saturday while a record-setting blizzard swept through the city, we woke up early on Sunday morning to go exploring. While well over 2 feet of snow blanketing the streets looked pretty incredible, Central Park was something different altogether. It was pure Winter magic.

It’s always around this time of year that shiny new Spring clothes and accessories start creeping into stores.. just when temperatures start dropping to below freezing. It’s like a cruel joke. One of the things that always helps me, is starting to work in Spring colors – in the form of a cozy sweater or even just a fresh manicure. This year, Pantone is making that easier than ever since they’ve dubbed ‘Rose Quartz’ and ‘Serenity’ the colors of 2016 (the first time they’ve ever had 2 picks!). I’m loving both of these mixed in with my predominantly neutral winter wardrobe. Rose Quartz plays nicely with grey or camel (how nice would this bag look against your winter coat?) and Serenity looks great paired casually with denim (these booties and boyfriend jeans is a winning combo). And both will likely be a much needed dose of Spring contrast against this weekend’s winter whites.. aka impending blizzard!

It seems like for every 4-5 freezing days we manage to get 1-2 warmer ones (which for January means I can’t really complain..), but it’s making this blog look a bit scattered. The silver lining is that if you’re in LA or Houston, you could take inspiration from outfits like these and if you’re with me in the North East you can take notes from posts like this one.

There’s something ironic about standing outside of an ice cream shop in the freezing cold. But that’s exactly where I found myself yesterday and although I didn’t order a cone, I did stay warm thanks to a few careful layers.
