These photos were taken in San Diego before I left for my ski trip in Park City, Utah. As you can tell, it was so warm and sunny, making it difficult to dress for winter! This button-up fur jacket is perfect for west coast winter – it’s light enough to wear over a sleeveless top or light sweater. Now that I’m in the snow, I’m layering it nonstop under my down jacket. It’s only 20 degrees here, which is a huge adjustment from sunny LA! I love it with these knee-high Prada boots (now on sale!) – the wedge is the perfect height to dress up a casual outfit, yet they’re seriously comfortable to walk all day in.

What are your staples for an east or west coast (or international!) winter?
