I had a puffer coat last year & in the middle of the DEAD COLD winter - the darn zipper decided to get stuck over & over again!  What a pain in the neck that was!  I was either stuck inside my coat or I couldn't zip it up & would start feeling chilly! Ever dealt with that?!?

Well, that is NO way to spend a winter. I can't imagine what it must be like to be homeless & not have a winter jacket at all.  So, with that said - I'm truly BLESSED that I can afford to buy another coat & have just donated the other one. Fall is still here - so I have until about October 1st to get some type of puffer or parka to stay warm in this NYC weather.  Below are some of my faves, but I'm leaning toward Mackage #6.  

If you're looking for a coat, here are some great options! Which do you like?

1. PEUTEREY // 2. NSF // 3. ADD // 4. Hunter // 5. Burberry Brit // 6. Mackage

I don't know many spaces more serene than a room filled with a palette of pale winter whites. Especially this time of year! Hello, everyone. 

Katie here, from H2 Design. Today I thought I would pull together a room filled with whites of various textures & accents of metal and wood. It can't help but remind you of a fresh snowfall! And since it is that time of year, I tried to sprinkle in some holiday accents to add a little wintery charm.
