Brrr!  Lately, it has been rainy, windy, and chilly over here in California.  I'm not a huge fan of cold weather however, the rain is nice because we are in a severe drought right now.  How about you?  Do you like the rain or detest it?  Personally, I love the sound of rain falling on my window when I go to sleep.  It's so relaxing.  

One of the benefits of cold weather as a fashionista, is breaking out those warm winter boots and cozy coats.  This camel coat is super warm and meshes with just about everything.  Some of my favorite winter boots with heels are made by Donald J. Pliner.  The boots featured here are a pair of his black stretchy elastic pointy toe boots with heels from about eight years back.  He has similar ones online.  I also ordered them in brown a few years back in a stretch suede like material as well because they fit my calves and they were comfortable enough to wear to work for eight hours.  To this day, I am still ecstatic about these boots!  I visit his website often because I am a huge fan of his styles, design, level of comfort, and quality.  This year, I bought a pair of Donald and Lisa Signature OTK boots to keep my legs warm that I will be showcasing in a future post.  Can't wait!

Do you have a stylish work tote or satchel?  What colors do you prefer?  This pretty burgundy satchel from Ralph Lauren is one of my favorite carryalls.  I also have this equestrian embossed satchel in red and black because I love this design so much!  It's the perfect size to carry your work items in or a small laptop or iPad for blogging.  It's also definitely a sleek and stylish statement piece if you are going to a work meeting or work luncheon.  Ralph Lauren is definitely one of my all time favorite designers because of the classic sophistication of  his designs.

Hope you have a wonderful week and remember to Make it a Marvelous Monday okay:)
