The weather has been gorgeous here in New England, but it won't last.  All of a sudden the temps start to drop and it's COLD!  I'm not a fan of winter, but I do love cozy coats to stay warm.  And Appleseed's has a beautiful collection of outerwear to brave the elements!

First up is this gorgeous London Fog wool coat. I'm wearing it in black and white tweed (but it comes in solid colors too) and it has a matching scarf! It's a beautiful and timeless piece that you'll wear over and over again.

I adore this very warm London Fog faux fur trim down coat. The hood detaches and as a bonus it's  machine washable! It comes in several colors including black, green, blue and red. I'm wearing "pearl".

And last up is this water resistant diamond quilted coat. I love the length! It's the perfect weight for fall  as well as mild winter days. You can easily layer a sweater underneath and it's also machine washable (yay!). It comes in a variety of beautiful colors too. 

How about these crooked mailboxes? 

And don't forget that Appleseed's also carries accessories! I love this classic hobo shoulder bag that also has an extra bag that can be worn as a crossbody or clutch. I'm wearing it with the tweed and navy quilted coats above. It's perfect for travel since it's two bags in one!

By the way, there are some amazing holiday gift ideas here!

It's hard to believe that the holidays are just around the corner. I have to admit that I haven't done much shopping yet.  I need to get moving!  I'm partnering with my friends at National again this month to show you three fabulous gift ideas that she will LOVE. 

And all are under $35!

I love giving warm cozy pajamas as a gift, and I love getting them too!  Here are two styles that I own and recommend!

Making my list and checking it twice.

 

These minky fleece animal print pjs are just the cutest and SOFTEST!

They also come in pink too!

Both sets of pjs run on the roomy side. I'm wearing a PS even though I'm 5'6'', because I like the bottoms to hit my ankle.

And how about a one-size-fits-all gift that's just $24.95?

I love, love, love this animal print poncho that also comes in gray. 

It's so easy to wear with jeans, over a dress, or with leggings.

I featured this poncho on Instagram a few weeks ago and it got a lot of attention!

Ahhhh comfort.  Isn't that exactly what we want these days? Many of us are working from home, which makes comfort a necessity! There's a reason why soft comfy clothes are selling like hotcakes. It's what we're all living in!

When National reached out to me to collaborate, I was struck by how comfy their clothes looked. From knit pants, to cozy tops, and casual dresses, they make clothing that feels good on and won't break the bank. I also love that they carry an array of sizes including petites and plus. There's something for everyone!

I want to show you a few National outfits that take me from Zoom calls to babysitting my granddaughter Penny.  See something you like here?  Use code NATL10SK for 10% off your order!

This adorable stretch thermal hoodie is cozy, and also just the right weight for layering. I love the rich burgundy color for fall, but it also comes in a beautiful stone gray too (one of each please!). I paired the hoodie with black leggings that have a flat waistband and thick material that doesn't show through (no knee peeks!).  The fit is a bit more relaxed--not at all  all clingy or tight. I sized down to a PS. These leggings can easily be dressed up with heels and a silky blouse.

And how cute is this "full zip jacket?  I LOVE the animal print panels...but of course you knew I would!

National has been in business since 1952 and has remained family owned, so they must be doing something right!  They also have a huge heart. Their charitable fund supports those in need and has helped build hospital wings, fund cancer centers, renovate a women's shelter as well as renovate the orphanage where the owner Eddie grew up. Recently, National showered Uncommon Threads with kindness by donating huge boxes of clothes, shoes and undergarments. It's been a tough year for the program and I was literally in tears when I received these amazing donations. Kindness lives. Click here to learn more about National's mission and journey.

Don't forget code NATL10SK will get you an additional 10% off your National purchase!
