Well, we spent quite a bit of money on Saturday and officially booked an April trip to Denmark and Belgium! We’re spending a week in Copenhagen with day trips to other Danish cities, and an afternoon in Malmö, Sweden. The second week of the trip will be in Brussels. We visited Brussels in 2014 and we’re excited to go back and visit other Belgian cities, including Antwerp, and bring back even more amazing beer to cellar when we buy a house. Please send any and all travel recommendations!
Spending that much money at once always leaves me feeling sick to my stomach. So, this faux fur coat will likely be my last new purchase for awhile, but it’s a good one. The “fur” is silky and smooth — a convincing replica of real fur — and it’s warm enough for a Wisconsin winter. (I felt warmer in this on a windy 20-degree day than I do in the J.Crew stadium cloth cocoon coat. It’s currently -7 degrees outside. I suppose that will be the true test!)
Coat: Eliza J (also in burgundy and silver) | Top: H&M | Skirt: LOFT (old, similar) | Tights: Calvin Klein | Boots: Hunter | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff c/o Shopbop | Rings: Monica Vinader, c/o Julie Vos | Bracelet: Hermes | Sunglasses: Karen Walker c/o Shopbop | Lips: Stila “Bella”
Looooove that coat!!!! 😀
and that sounds like an amazing trip! So jealous! Hopefully I’ll still be taking my trip to Australia/New Zealand later this year, but I’m not sure since the friend I’m going with is out of work right now…sad.

I think you look adore and that the coat will workout in your cold/chili vacations. I’m with you, my stomach is always in knots when I spend a ton at once.
Wow, love the coat!

I am obsessed with this coat. It is perfect on you! Also can’t wait to vicariously live through your amazing trip! 🙂
I love the length of that coat. I can’t wait to hear all about your trip when you get back and see pictures. I love recaps.
I’ve always found furs (even faux ones) to be warmer than wool. And usually down is the warmest of all. I hate spending a lot of money at once too, even if it’s for something as good as a trip to europe. I can’t imagine making a down payment on a house will be an easy pill to swallow either, but hopefully so worth it.
Chic on the Cheap
That FUR IS UNREAL! You look so chic, I think the white bag is the perfect pop too!
