Look Book: Casual Snowy Days & Ocean Trails!!

Jan 19, 2012

Hooray! No shivering for me during outfit photos today. I just picked up this adorable coat at H&M and as you can imagine, it's quickly turned into my favourite winter staple. I've been wearing it with pretty much everything. This winter I've been absolutely obsessed with faux fur. Anyone else?! It's such a fun & easy way to add a quick pop of glam to any outfit. And on that note, I can't stop thinking about this lovely "faux fur funnel scarf" from ASOS. I need to get it. Cute, right?!
These photos were taken on one of my favourite trails - it's only a few minutes from our home and seriously spectacular. Basically, you walk along a lush forested trail, but what makes it so unique is it's ocean-side with mountains & evergreens all around you. I always feel like I'm a million miles away when I'm here; it's my instant vacation spot and a huge part of why Martin & I moved to this neighbourhood. In the summer, we come here often with a little picnic and a bottle of wine. We absolutely love the outdoors!
Look at that face! Aw, I love when Scout makes an appearance in my outfit photos! Hehe, moving on... I finally set up my FAQ page - it kind of took forever (oops, sorry about that guys). But thanks so much for all your fantastic input. It was really neat to read what kind of questions you had for me and I had so much fun answering them too. Perhaps I'll do a Q&A vlog next. I always love when other bloggers do those - I'll be sure to keep you posted. Have a great day!! xo veronika

  22. That coat is lovely! I love love fur-trimmed hooded coats, it gives more of a pizazz. I'm glad you had a lovely time in the snow with your honey, it's always nice to be able to have some alone time a reconnect with your significant other. Something in which I think is very important.

  29. I love your website and LOVE your personal style, very adorable and on trend. However, I was just wondering why it is that you wear glasses..but they are from Forever21..Are they meant to help your vision at all? Or simply an accessory? Just curious..

  42. My goodness, Veronika, there is so much snow in these photos! The effect is really breathtaking, but it's also making me think I should stop complaining so much about the few flakes we have in Vancouver :) I've been loving faux fur this winter, too; I have a collar that I pin to my coat pretty much every second day. Instant glam! It's perfect, just like the fur hood on your coat. And I just love your glasses, such a fun detail to add to an outfit. I've never asked... Are they prescription, or just for fun? Either way, they're a stellar pair of frames. Hope your week is going well!

  44. I can't believe how much snow there is! Pretty everything is gone downtown - didn't even get the chance to take any real winter pictures.

    Your coat seems perfect for a 'snowy walk' and your puppy... Ah I'm in love! What a cutie!

  56. I never would have been able to predict how much I love red lipstick on you. It's really gorgeous. The coat is adorable. It sounds like such a beautiful spot to live. I used to live on an island off of Seattle. Every which way we looked we could see snow capped mountains. I miss it but I'm having fun exploring new places now.
