I don’t know about you all, but right around this time every year when the blog posts start popping up about beautiful winter coats, I get a little depressed. Now I know I should be looking at this with the glass half full–we do live in paradise–but come on, who can resist a stunning fur coat like this Kelly Wearstler jacket worn by the one and only blogging star Leandra Medine of The Man Repeller? Sure, the price is up there, but a UM college girl can dream right? And I can make the dream more realistic by finding a slightly less expensive version, like this one from Free People. While some of you may get to enjoy at least a month of winter wonderland on your trips home for the holidays, I have no such luxury as a Florida resident and must play pretend if I am to make such an investment. But don’t worry, I have a great imagination.

Now, please PLEASE check out Leandra’s post from yesterday. Due to UMiamiMode’s love for the blogger, these photos and THAT COAT (sigh), we couldn’t resist sharing it with you on this beautiful, 81 degree Miami day.
