What to wear in Paris? (and Germany)

Is the question plaguing me at the moment. With temps in the 30s coupled with rain and snow, I'm preparing for the worst, and to be FREEZING. Or rather trying to prepare to not be freezing. I hate being cold. HATE. Why am I going to Germany and Paris in December again? Ok I'll stop complaining. Yuppie problems, really. That said, I don't want to go into debt for naught on this trip by being cold and miserable the entire time. I also don't want to resemble a walking snowman. So, I ask, what is a girl supposed to wear in winter in Paris?

I took to the internets. The HiP Paris blog has been amazing with their recent winter wear post. Not sure I can totally get behind those fashions, but it's interesting to see what the Parisiennes are wearing. Fur, wool, and funny low-heeled boots.

This might be a little more me. Credit.

Happy Holidays!

Although December is flying merrily by, I have to remember to stop and smell the pine cones! I'm actually really enjoying the holidays this year. I'll post a few pics of what I've been up to!

Thanksgiving was full of good food, good friends and love.
The bf's holiday party was at The Museum of Flight last night.

Tonight we party with good friends at Black Bottle. Tomorrow there are a few more parties! Then we are seeing Black Nativity on Sunday. Good times.
