I knew just the thing to don for errands on the rainy, chilly day we're having today. This jacket from Free People is so darn cozy.
It features a surprise, too...which is always a good thing:
I had been waiting for these Anthro boots for literally months now (they were backordered before they even went on sale), and they finally arrived yesterday!
They are beautifully made and very comfy, so were absolutely worth the wait.

What a great coat! Some days I wish I didn't live in Southern California, so that I had more of a use for clothes like these! 90 degree weather at the end of October though, leaves me very little time to wear cute cold weather clothes!

That's an adorable coat and perfect little boots.

I loved that coat when I saw it on the free people web site. I am obsessed with suprise colorful linings. You should check out Zara if there are any shops where you live. They have some sweet jackets with "japanese cuteness" type linings in them.

You look rather like a grown-up French schoolgirl (that's a compliment, by the way).

I *adore* those shoes!
Free People is my favorite brand, been wearing it for years. My husband is tired of seeing their boxes on the doorstep.

I cannot believe how much I love that coat! Apparently I have to get myself to Free People!

I think you are just too cute for words! If it wasn't obvious before, you look just like the adorable girls in your paintings. The red stripes are a fun peek of surprise on a grey day.

Love the jacket! This may be the dumbest question to have ever been asked, but where do you get your slips & petticoats? Every time I search for either I come up with either really boring, plain things or weird, tiny things meant to be "sexy" & that is not what I'm looking for. Advice?

Adorable, Miss Martin!
I was wondering if you'd ever seen this webpage I'd ever stumbled across?

Some of the clothes are very.... poofy.... but some things are just too cute. I adore the wonderland skirt, for example, and thought you might too!

You look just beautiful! I love the hat, and the striped lining. So cute.

What type are these boots? I'm in love with them and need to know. Thanks

i love it when jackets and coats, and even dresses have something pretty and surprising under them... and when they swing open and peek out a little. very nice!

That jacket is amazing--like a quick punch to the gut, in a good way.
