Stay Warm in Shearling

Shearling is the perfect way to stay warm and cozy this winter. I love shearling coats and this one c/o Zaful is a steal at under $45. Seriously such a deal for any coat– especially this one! The faux suede outside with the warm shearling (or actually, fleece) lining is perfect for throwing on over a t-shirt for a instantly-chic outfit.  I’m wearing the softest gray long-sleeve tshirt under it that fits so well. I’ve been wearing it non-stop and just ordered it in a few other colors. This coat also looks great over a LBD with OTK boots for a little more dressed up look. I wore this exact outfit with sneakers to run errands the other morning when it was really cold outside and was so comfortable!

This bag was a little Christmas pressie and I love it. I needed a new black bag desperately and this one has so many great compartments for me to organize everything. I like being able to keep my lipsticks in a pocket, keys in another, etc. so this one really is great. The long strap allows me to wear it cross body, too and as an added bonus it’s big enough to throw my better camera into when traveling. Win, win! If you’re in need of a new black satchel, this one has been perfect so far.

I hope all of you had a great, safe New Years Eve and Day. If you’re following me on Instagram, then you saw from my stories that we were out at a friend’s ranch. There were zebras, ostriches, gazelles, etc. all roaming the property. The deer are so friendly after being raised by the family that you can pet them like you would a dog. It’s so cool! We had so much fun. Possibly a little TOO much fun!

I’ll definitely admit that yesterday was a sleep and lazy-filled day for me. Oh, and I also ate EVERYthing in sight because I started the Whole 30 today. I have done several other full rounds before and love kicking off January with one. This year I’ll be teaming up with some other bloggers to share you lots of recipes and tricks and I am working on some new ones to share with you ASAP. Unfortunately in the winter it gets dark so early that I have to time taking photos of my food just right or wait until the weekend. Soo.. stay tuned! If you’re doing one too please let me know and reach out with any questions.

PS: I changed my Instagram handle from @laurenemorgan to @aloprofile. Because I’m getting married this year and my last name will no longer be ‘Morgan’ anyways, I figured what better time. If you’re not already following me– doo itttt! XO
