Winters just around the corner

or, if you live in the arctic like i do - it has already come. Yes that's right, to those of you who don't know how bizarre Minnesota's weather is, let me inform you. If i sent you a picture of what it looked like around here yesterday - you would not know what season it was. We had green grass and leafs, fall leafs on the ground, and SNOW. It was quite bizarre.

Getting back on topic, being fashionable and warm at the same time is quite a hard task to do - especially in the midwest. So here are some ideas on winter must haves.

1) The Coat

This jacket makes a statement and keeps you warm, i really think this could go with just about anything.

But if you're looking to not splurge,
This custard colored jacket is only $112.99 from shopruche.com. It's the perfect coat for the sophisticated look, and the casual look.

2) The Scarf

When it comes to the scarf - splurging isn't really necessary in order to find the most fashionable one out there. Instead what i want is quality.

I think for winter it's a good choice to have the option of having at least one really nice warm scarf, and at least one fashionable one. ( Of course if you're looking in my closet i have the option of at least 7 different scarves )

The simple scarf - not something you need to splurge on. Something in a neutral color, and when getting a simple scarf, the only thought that should go into the process should how comfortable it is.

Adding this scarf to any outfit definitely spices it up! Only $18 from francescascollections.com

3) The hat
This winter is loving on the idea of the beanie. Especially colored ones.

Check this one out from Urban Outfitters. Only $19.99 this 'concord' colored beanie can effortlessly add excitement to the nauseatingly boring colors of winter.

4) and lastly - of course - the boot

No one can survive winter without a pair of boots to pair with any outfit.


My suggestion would be to go with a lighter gray boot, like these boots from forever 21. They are an absolute steal at the price of $34.80.

Also, the mini boot. These shoes are my absolute favorite - and near the top of my wishlist.



only $69.95 from DSW.







On the other hand, is anyone else as excited for WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE as i am?!
That was my favorite book as a kid, so seeing it made modern + fantastic music = my dream.
If you're as big of a fan as i am - you can get a bunch of different artwork, clothing, or dolls from Urban Outfitters. Check it outtt..




Stay Divine

allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Laura Olson, i'm 17 and a senior from Minnesota. I've been in love with everything fashion since i was 12. Before that, on the other hand i was a complete tomboy. Which is probably why i have such an appreciation for fashion now. I created this blog to inspire myself and others - so i really hope it helps people. I think fashion is really a way for people to truly express themselves, i love how when you put on a great outfit you feel like you can take over the world, or at least rock a runway.

Stay Divine :)
