Have you ever purchased a garment that managed to change your entire outlook on life? A garment so wearable, functional, comfortable and versatile, you can barely bring yourself to remove it? I went from moving myself to the desert, in denial that temperatures below 40F exist, to hanging out in Iceland and Lithuania in late fall for fun and not even bothering to complain about the weather.
This little coat by Merrell is responsible.
This is me after being stranded overnight in a heinous snowstorm in a convertible with no heater. I am not even kidding. Yes, I may look a tad bit FRAZZLED, but I am miraculously ALIVE.
It’s not just the cute toggle buttons that make this coat amazing. It is the warmest thing I’ve ever sported, but it is also breathable, and compact enough to fit in my backpack or drape over my bag while shopping. It has deep, numerous and hidden pockets for passports, bicycle keys, train tickets and stolen pub coasters. It even looked chic with the $14 mall dress I bought at the mall to meet a Lithuanian president in.

I am in love. Copenhageners say that there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing. I am starting to believe them.
Know what else I was a genius for bringing to Europe? These little numbers from MustHaveShoes:
Supplemented with some amazing arch supports (from Foot Petals), these boots were perfect for miles and miles of walking. They were warm, but low profile in the suitcase, gave me jusssst enough height to feel slightly more Giselle-like but still be comfortable, and melded seamlessly with every outfit I brought.
What is the best thing you ever packed for a delightfully impractical vacation?
Nice! I head to Europe in 6 weeks!
Wow, sounds like amazing shoes!

I recently bought the exact opposite but similarly wearable item! I live in Australia and bought a thin long blouse thats as comfortable as pajamas. That jacket, however, looks way more fun (especially with all the pockets) and I should probably think about getting one before I go to Europe next year
You look amazing..Great style..Love your blog
Keep it up…

Your stunning! And I love the lomo-effect of those photos!
Love your outfit! The best accessory I brought on my last vacation was a decorative hair band with a big fluffy flower on it. Loved wearing it during the day and at night!
Sweet coat/jackets. You are certainly comfortable in your style.
Love your way with words. This is such a stunning site.

Please please please! The brand name and a link for those shoes! I beg of you! They’re not coming up on musthaveshoes.com anymore
I like the saying thier is no bad weather just bad clothes. I would miss the fall and winter if i lived in the desert. Your right find the right clothes and even winter can be fun and you can enjoy it. I always find a few things i like to wear and hate it when they get worn out.
