“Cyber Monday”: Cold And Snowy Musings

Cold And Snowy Musings on vickiarcher.com


The first snowy weekend and even a light dusting of flakes push the “pretty Barometer” sky-high.

Having grown up in the sun, the first snowfall never gets old.


Here we go around again with sales galore and Cyber Monday specials.

I’m not going to talk sales strategy  – you and I know both know what works for us by now – but I’m selecting a few good pieces I believe are worth having at a discounted price. It hasn’t been easy to find them; non-existent or sizes all sold out.


Outrageous adventures into the unknown are not my thing at sale time – I stock up, replace or add to my essentials.


Here’s what I found in no particular order.

Puffers – I am crazy about the puffer jacket right now – and these are beauties.

💥 💥 oversized bp  ||  kenneth cole box quilted  || bernardo diamond quilt



Several overcoats to dress up in; we will dress up again, I feel sure.

💥 💥 karl lagerfeld paris double breastedcurrently available and in 3 fabulous colours  ||  fleurette eden wool peacoatmidnight for me with jeans in either blue or winter white


fleurette long line wool coat – simplicity of style and some sizes available across the colours  ||  vince alpacca and wool– the softest shade of fawn/caramel and an investment piece but one to last forever



💥 💥 twill utility pants – sizes and colours still showing  ||  etro party pants my absolute loves + cosy sweater or ruffle neck blouse + sneakers


cece puff sleeve crew neck sweater in black and paradox – an inexpensive and fun find  ||  loeffler randall woven handbag for a little pre-christmas treat  ||  giuliva heritage mary poppins style



P.S

Thank you to my lovely reader, Beth for her great find of the “nearly Bottega Veneta” from Sorel– so fun. Are you brave enough for the red soles?
