As Lar mentioned here, I spent the past week freezing my butt off and having fun in the Northeast (Pennsylvania, New Jersey and NYC to be exact). New York was especially brutal. Thank goodness my cousin let me borrow her coat. My whimpy, good-enough-for-Atlanta-winter wool coat just didn’t cut it in 30mph winds.
Outfit details: Genn’s Gap coat (thanks Genn!), scarf was a gift from Italy, faux Channel bag from Baghaus and Lar’s Frye boots (thanks Lar!).
I was really looking forward to the warmer weather back home only to find out that it’s been equally as cold down south all week. It’s snowing in ATL at the moment, which just doesn’t seem right. To get my mind off this dreary, cold weather, I’ll focus on a couple of things that make me happy to be back home:
This Friday, Esperanza is hosting a showing of Eddie Murphy’s stand-up comedy movie Delirious. Tickets get you into the movie AND the open bar at Midtown Art Cinema (behind Trader Joe’s). While Lar and I aren’t huge Eddie Murphy fans, we are huge Esperanza fans – they support the Atlanta Zoo for goodness sakes!
Next month at Jeffrey Atlanta, Amy Flurry and Nikki Salk’s paper headpieces are going on display. I first heard about this on Refinery 29 and today it was featured Atlanta’s Daily Candy today. I can’t wait to go check it out. Jeffrey Atlanta is waaaay out of my price range, so Lar and I usually don’t venture over there, but I think this Paper Cut Project is about to change all that.

So all in all, despite the nasty weather, it’s great to be back home. I’d show you more outfit pics from my trip, but they all consist of this same coat, scarf and hat:
H&M hat and coat.
Those headpieces are stunning! I love how they mirror hairstyles. fabulous idea. And great winter outfit. It’s freezing here as well. I think I need a fur hat like that!
And wishing you both a Happy 2010!
I feel you, I am terrible when it comes to cold weather dressing. I just don’t know how to do it! When I went to Seattle last month, I had such a wimpy coat too, and I’m sure it wasn’t even nearly as cold as NYC!
So chic! Looks like it’s finally your turn to get snow! Apparently the UK is having the coldest winter on record.and Scotland is far worse so even though I am sure you would love to be back in Edinburgh, it’s pretty bad there at the moment!
It really has gotten cold just about EVERYWHERE, hasn’t it? You look downright mizzabuhl on that subway platform, Cath!
Yay! So glad I got to see you in NYC. Too bad it was for no more than 10 minutes. Hope you guys had a great trip. 🙂
You look cute in both coats, and you’re one of the few who can make a winter coat look chic/not like a sausage!
I forgot to say “Happy New Year!”
so glad you had a good trip. it has been crazy cold here in NYC.blech! awful right?
i was keeping my eyes out for you.but no cath run ins. 🙁
I was only in NYC for 24 hours. Next time I’ll plan a longer trip and we’ll have to do a meetup!
cath you look all bundled up almost like a mummy-and its my way to handle the cold too seriously i cant do this for much longer i need warmth!! envious of you going to nyc.i wanna go there too!!
the paper art is brilliant. off to check it out now. thanks for sharing. wishing you both an amazing weekend!

Awww. Don’t you look cute in your huge puffy coat! It’s hitting a high of 5 degrees here today, so yeah. I feel you.
Oh I feel you! I’ve visited up north in Jan/Feb and it definitely stops my whining about the weather here! I stopped by the Esperanza event you guys mentioned at the Graveyard a few months ? back and didn’t see you! Granted it was late and it was a “school” night.
And ooh, the Jeffrey exhibition sounds awesome. I spend a few minutes each time I am in Phipps gazing longingly through the windows.
you look absolutely adorable!
you guys always make it sound like so much fun there!
Love your frezze outfit. Withb that bag, every huge jacket looks great.
I wanna do things like that with paper, is so amazing.
Kisses!!
you look so cute!
i recently got here in atlanta and was hoping for warmth but got snow instead! brrr
WOW! I can feel the cold from the picture. Love those paper pieces. So creative and unique.

B* a la Moda
i was in nyc a few winters ago and was soooooooo unprepared for how cold it was too!!! the coat looks warm though 🙂 xxxx
like the coats, it must be freezing at ny
looks like someone went to uniqlo.
doesn’t winter suck sometimes?
Greenjeans, I was wondering when someone would call out my uniqlo bag! Since I was only NY for 24 hours Uniqlo was the only must-see store on my list since they have a limited about of items online. On my next NYC visit – whenever that’ll be – I’ll make sure to hit up some more indie boutiques.
hehe we look pretty much identical, i’m wearing just as many layers as you! brrr
ahh New York! I pass that stop on the train everyday to get to school/work. You look adorable too! & I see you went to Uniqlo, one of my favorite stores!
great color combo! I love that coat, and the color combo is awesome. Those paper scultures are completely phenoenal, I wonder how long it took him to make those
Haha, welcome to my cold life! When we say ‘coat’ we mean the real deal.
awww, you weren’t in philly were you? if you are next time, hit me up! and yeah, those winds last weekend were RIDICULOUS!
You were up in my neck of the woods and didn’t tell me?! I’m hurt! Hope you guys had an amazing time, you looked beautiful.
wow, and i thought papercuts were dreadful creatures i got from slicing my skin on paper or cardboard!
yay for uniqlo (the shopping bag)
and i love your hat!
You look so cute bundled up that I almost wish it wasn’t getting warmer here. Almost!
Tu es trop mignonne sur cette photo et on sent que c’est bien l’hiver!!
