a few things on sale at frances may....
mociun leggings in my favorite print
beautiful brown shade of acne pistol boots
and i wish there were a womens' version of this pendleton ranch coat
looking forward to the totokaelo end of season sale that starts on saturday. i just submitted grades for the fall semester and have 10 days before class starts up again. i finally joined a gym because outdoor winter jogging just isn't happening this year. am i crazy for wanting the sisii fishtail parka? it's much much colder than i imagined it would be in toronto. i don't mind snow and slush, but -15F windchill on tuesday had me ready to book a flight home to california. i have a very warm maternity friendly parka, but it is so heavy and difficult to move in.
speaking of which, once i find my camera cord, i'm going to do a couple of posts on the challenges of maternity dressing when it's colder than 20F during the final trimester. it's not for the faint of heart!

The Sisii parkas are gorgeous...but so expensive...and I bet the leather makes them extremely heavy. But, they would be able to block out those winds.
I really wish that I had purchased the APC fur trim parka this season or had enough money for the United Bamboo fishtail parka.
Stay warm and enjoy your 10-day break!
there's a similar version of the ranch coat in the 2012 Portland Collection line, not that it helps right now, but something to look forward to this fall!
I want those boots. I could deal with a $200 version, but even on sale that's too much. Good thing they don't have my size ;)
the annette blazer is also on sale on the SA website, with an additional 25% off. i ordered on yesterday...
The parka is nice, but I am suspicious about how warm it would actually be ... it says flannel lining, which is nothing when you are facing Great Lakes cold!
I think once it gets below zero, pretty much everyone loses ease of movement. I used to have to literally 'double-down' in Cleveland - a down sweater under a down parka (and that was on top of long johns!)
you're not crazy for wanting the parka!!
it's way below freezing here today. i hid inside the whole day, i'm such a wimp.
i've been looking for a wind-proof outer-layer, probably layered with my super-thin down coat, and long-johns. i wonder if the leather is super heavy on the sisii. i've been able to find it online for about $1000.
i won't be buying any more down coats until i find a company that can guarantee non-force fed goose down.
i wish i could just stay inside when it's super cold, but those days are over for me :(
Those boots! They are dangerous.
I hate to say it lady. But it will get colder. So be prepared. Apparently it's supposed to be a mild winter, but it will get down to -15F PLUS wind chill (and colder) several times in late January, February, and March. Up in Montreal (where i live now) it's that much worse. Around this time every year that I question why people actually live here. I'm convinced it's not truly habitable!!!
