If tweed-styling were an Olympic sport, I think I’d be a good contender, don’t you? I actually almost forgot there were real sporting events happening now. I thought the whole Olympics this year was just going to be people talking about the Russian doping scandal and those awkward neighbors to the north. And Jamaican bobsledding of course. But that may be because I listen to too much NPR.

What are your favorite winter Olympic events? I know it’s very predictably girly, but I love me some figure skating. Back in the day, I was all about Michelle Kwan. I couldn’t even skate, but I was obsessed with her. This year, I think my favorite part is the commentary from Tara Reid and Johnny Weir.

SO. How was everyone’s Christmas? Full of cookies and lots of fun stuff you don’t need? I hope so. I got a couple wearable presents that will make their way to the blog sometime soon, but in the meantime, this leather jacket was actually a birthday present. If you’re thinking, “wasn’t your birthday in the summer?” you are correct. But it took me a few weeks to find just the right thing to spend my Nordstrom gift card on, and then I had to wait for appropriate weather.

This jacket is WARM, you guys. And I’m very much on board with the rose gold hardware. There’s also a detachable fur collar for when I’m feeling like a diva.
