Happy New Year!!

(Michael Kors top and shoes, Vero Moda skirt, Club Monaco clutch)

So looking back at 2010, fashion trends included animal prints, sparkle and fur. On the last day of the year I wanted to summarize it all in my NYE outfit tonight!! I wish that 2011 brings everyone happiness, health and tons of glamour!!

Getting started...

(Zara jacket and hat, BCBG dress, Aldo boots, Banana Republic scarf & Louis Vuitton bag)

Decided to end off the year with an outfit post since I finally got an SLR camera from my guy.  Also got a fur hat which I am pretty happy about and that you will hopefully see in the new year since I plan on taking more pics!  I also boycotted boxing day this year since I think that it is just too crazy for me and opted for a more relaxing day (first time in history I have not gone shopping, and not quite sure what has come over me!) How was your Christmas and what good presents did Santa and boxing day bring you??  

P.S. Please tell me what you think about the photo since I am looking for comments/ suggestions on how to use my new camera.

So not only did it snow, but the weather is also getting colder.  In order to brave our frigid winters, I always have at least two hats in my car, along with my cashmere snood around my neck(which I got last year at Banana Republic and is one of my best purchases since it is so soft and warm). But this year the latest fashionable hats have been these huge fur ones(thinking of getting one at H & M) and turbans (inspired by Carrie in SATC 2).  How do you guys stay warm?

Here are some great ideas for the gift exchange at work that are both thoughtful and within budget.  They can work for both your male or female co-workers (maybe a little more feminine, but I can't help it women are more fun to shop for).  What kind of gifts do you give to co-workers since I am always looking for new ideas?

Rag & Bone Tuxedo pants, 185 GBP

OTK Back-Zip Boot, $825

As the snow settled on the streets of Montreal,I went looking for perfect winter looks. Of course I can always rely on Serena for providing the right mix of style and warmth to battle the cold winter days ahead. A structured sherling coat is a great alternative to the boring duffel coat and perfect when paired with riding boots. A fedora and cashmere scarf add luxury and will shield you from the cold. How do you battle the cold in style?   

So here is a classic working look I like to sport : Boyfriend blazer with a high waisted skirt since it is both feminine and structured. I don't usually take outfit pics and so this is from a while ago (when my hair was shorter), but just felt like sharing. It was featured on Hypeed, a site dedicated to fashion for real people. What is your working style? Please share and tell me what your fave looks for the office are?
