Okay, real talk... I have not taken this coat off since it arrived at my doorstep about a week ago. I've worn it to work, to the mall, to the sketchy market across the street from my house. You get the idea. If I'm being perfectly honest here, my life is far from glamorous most days. I roll out of bed too early, I commute, I work 40 plus hours a week. Being able to drape this beauty over my shoulders while going about my day has been a treat. 

It's the little things that make life sweet. And hell, if a mega-calorie coffee drink or gorgeous coat will make you smile, I'm all for it. So props to LA-based brand C.Z. Falconer for the amazing coat and for making my week a little bit brighter!

Seriously, don't know where you are, but wow these photos are beautiful. We can see why you haven't taken that coat off yet, it is gorgeous!

It's great to hear you love that coat so much! Oh my gosh, I love receiving things in the mail/at my door. It feels so much better than buying something at the store. This is such a cute look! The coat, top, shorts - everything goes together so well.

That coat is super awesome! I agree with you it's the little things in life that make you happy! And whatever it is then do it. I can totally relate with you about wearing something all the time that you love and being totally happy about it (even if everything else in your life is super busy town).

It's certainly the details that are worth appreciating. Fashion has a way of making me happy, and I'm so glad you're inspired!

Love this look. The texture of the shorts with that jacket is amazing. I feel the exact same way about the little luxuries. If something makes you truly happy while you are just going through day to day doing things you have to do, then I think you should do it!! I can't wear anything special to the place I work. It is a uniform and limits not only styles but colors. Having the little things like a pretty coat or a nice piece of jewelry totally makes all the work worth it.

These pics are gorgeous--seriously props to you and your intrepid photog. I love how the red of the ivy goes with the red in your hair. And how cool that they sent you that coat. It looks great on you, a very natural addition to your wardrobe. (There's something very rock and roll about short fur coats for some reason.)

There's nothing better than a reliable piece of clothing that is both comfy and stylish. I'm definitely guilty of obsessive episodes of living in new acquisitions that I'm proud of too ;)

i just wanna snuggle up to that coat and pet it like a kitty :)

seriously, can we be more alike? it cracks me up because in reality I am beyond stylish most days. Working at home or with motorcycles doesn't really allow me to always dress the way I want...also kids, yeah. I usually "de-glam" after photos, lol. And yeah, I'm all for the indulgences now and then... or always, lol.

YES! We will go shopping one day together, if I have to make a special trip down to LA to do so (which I would LOVE! there's no way you'd wanna come to my dinky little town)

Cheers babe! You can't see it but I'm toasting you with a super calorie-filled frappucino, my latest indulgence :)
