Winter Fashion by Starlet!

Hi everyone!

My name is Starlet; I write for Can You Come Home - a blog about home, garden, fashion, and design.

When Desha announced that she will be hosting the red carpet for a fashion show at Brattleboro, I got all giddy and excited, and I truly wished I could be there witnessing her broadcasting with her bubbly-Desha-style!

But I'm happy to participate in a different way: crafting a fashion focus post for her blog. Desha challenged me to create a stylish winter look and I said bring it on :) So let's bundle up!

I found this image of Rachel Zoe and {back then her assistant} Brad Goresky strolling in the cold weather and I thought I would use them as an inspiration.

Oh, and it doesn't feel right if I didn't have a nature inspired fashion item, right? The texture of the fur reminds me of these beautiful seed heads of the grass. So warm and fuzzy!


Thanks Desha for letting me blabble on fashion. Creating this post made me wish for a cup of hot cocoa and shop for a furry white coat. Winter is almost here!

What do you think of the looks? What would you add or omit and what is your favorite item?
