See if reindeer really know how to fly?

Today's combo was inspired by a recent (Nov 2013) Coach Ad:

I liked this all burgundy look and the relaxed fit of the outfit. So I re-created it with my kika bordeaux top, the knit scarf and purse and the knit shrug. 

Added the moto leggings underneath and calf hair boots. 

I had to dig out these super old Chanel sunglasses for the outfit...

Cardigan - La Redoute catalog (super old)

Scarf - from Costco

Top - Kika Paprika

Leggings - ABS (from TJ Maxx)

Purse - Shoedazzle

Booties - Steve Madden

Bracelets - Cookie Lee and Baublebar

TODAY:

We started our Saturday morning with a visit to my parents for a Turkish Style breakfast with my sister and brother in law as well. The kids had already gone out to eat hours before with their daddy but they were more than happy to hang out anyway. We then came home for a quick lunch and got my little ballerina ready for yet another performance. This was her third (out of 5). But this time we were all going to watch her. Met up with other friends there that came to see her as well. 

After the show we came home for a quick dinner of tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches, washed up my daughter then met up with our group at Krispy Kreme for a night of Christmas Light walking on our local 'candy cane lane'… My brother and SIL and nephew who just arrived from Boston last night joined in as well.

For the night time changed into this sweatshirt and matched my daughter….

I actually like her sweatshirt more….

We even matched with our red coats. I borrowed my mom's….

It was a gorgeous night. Not chilly at all and were all very comfortable compared to past years...

Here is our big group minus my brother who took the photo…

Love the kids' poses alls o goofy...

Baby it is cold outside

Another outfit from a very old inspiration. The Ugg Ad in October 2011 issue of Vogue:

 It usually just doesn't get that cold in San Diego to wear such outfits that is why these old inspirations were still left in the folder. But this weekend's weather was perfect to support a big fur snood all day long!

Leather  Jacket - Maxx

T-neck - Gap

Pants - Forever 21

Fur scarf - Asos

Boots - Shoedazzle

SUNDAY:
We started the freezing cold day with Turkish School. I met up with my brother-in-law for coffee while the kids were in school.  My mom joined us and together we drove to our local parade. First though we had to stop at the house to add additional cardigans under the coats and stocked up on hats and gloves.
We met up with friends and parked in front of our friend's house and walked down to the parade. It was so fun cause so many of our friend's school's had floats in the parade and we got to wave at so many familiar faces. Even my mom ran into her friend who was walking with her dog in the parade.
I have to say it was by far the longest parade I have ever seen but kids loved it. So many candy canes were given you would think it was Halloween. Then there was a little festival in the park nearby but the mommies could only handle the chilling cold for so long so we walked back to my friend's house to de-thaw and ordered mexican food and had a great time the rest of the evening!

 Don't you just love their jackets!? I got them both at JC Penny.  My son's was on clearance for $15!

I think i switched off the auto focus button by mistake so this photo came so blurry! :(

Here are some of our friend sightings in the PARADE:
