I hope you all had a very pleasant weekend. A friend of mine asked me to post some sale finds from COS. There you go: both the white shirt and the wool skirt in this outfit are recent buys.

Have you scored some fabulous loot after the holiday season? ;-)Vest: Gebeana, shirt & skirt: COS, bag: Hermès, Boots: Balenciaga.

My company is having its annual Christmas dinner this evening. Instead of a party dress, I opt for this easy outfit. It’s nothing special than my daily wear, but definitely something I feel very comfortable and happy in. I guess this is the most important thing for me now. :-) Snood: Massimo Rebecchi, wool coat & necklace: COS, sweater: Knott Galerie Vie, skirt: Marni.

I picked up this canary yellow one at COS the other day and couldn’t be more happy with it. It is made of heavy thick wool. Cozy, chic and in such a cheerful hue, exactly what I need for the gloomy dark winter days. ;-)

Have a wonderful rest of the week! Wherever you are and whatever you’re doing, stay warm and happy this holiday season. <3Jacket: Raasta, brooch: Marni, Flats: Geox, the rest: COS.

Even though we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving in Europe, there are plenty of shops that offer a discount on selected goods on black Friday. Well, I don’t want to rush to the shops for major Christmas shopping today, but will go to candle & flower stores with a friend (for the first Advent Sunday)!

Now back to topic, may I share my casual shopping outfit? ;-) Wish you all a wonderful weekend!

It is so comfortable and easy to wear, paired with a skinny belt and layered under a wool coat. Viola, my preggy fall uniform is all set. lol~~

Wish you all a great new week!
