THE DIVA AND OUTERWEAR, FRIENDS FOREVER

The Diva is sick of the winter blahs. Christmas parties are over, and she is ready for the weather to CHANGE!! What better way to "spring" into spring (ha, ha The Diva makes a giggle) than to tempt yourself with these fine jackets? Be one step ahead of those sorry souls that wait until spring to shop. And you know how the Diva loves outerwear!

JUICY MEETS OUTERWEAR

If there is one piece of clothing that The Diva shyly admits to going overboard with, that is outerwear. I mean, come on. During these insane crazy winter months, what do people see? Do they see your designer outfit with you fab top that you spent a month's salary on? Um, no, not usually!! They see your fabulous coat! Now, The Diva begs - BEGS you to please not neglect your outerwear. There are just too many fab coats out there. Just think of them as the icing on your winter cake.

WHOS THE DIVA?

Is is The Diva's BFF Katherine Heigel, who celebrated her 29th birthday in her Juicy Couture jacket, or Naomi Watts bundled up in her plaid coat while out and about in N.Y.C.?

Psst! Buy it at Blommys!

WHOS THE DIVA?

Wow! The Diva thinks these ladies are bargain shoppers, or that Vera Wang has placed a call to her BFFs, begging for some red carpet action. Both Reese Witherspoon and Anne Hathaway wore her Simply Vera Wang black coat. Reese to a charity event in LA, and Anne on a dinner date on NYC. So, what do you think? Whos the Diva? (number one) and Number two, do you even like this coat? The Diva seems to think it swallows both ladies! But she thinks Anne is the Diva.

The Diva's BFF (the newly preggo!!) Jessica Alba loovves scarves. That is why is came as no surprise that she has been popping up in magazines everywhere sporting this bright, multi colored number. She how stylish she is and how she wears it? The Diva thinks it is perfectly acceptable to wear it just as Jess, with dresses and even tees. Want the look for less? Check out Urban Outfitters.

La Fiorentina Cable Knit Luxury Cashmere Shawl - $59.99

Awwwwww, there is nothing more luxurious that cashmere. Whats even better? One that LOOKS and FEELS like cashmere but at a tenth of the price. Now, the Diva will refuse to admit that she actually bought anything less that real cashmere. But this shawl was just so fantastic, she couldn't pass it up. It's so FAB!!!

The La Fiorentina shawl is a think cablue knit design. It features luxurious 100-percent cashmere fabrication, and measures 15 inches wide by 80 inches long. The Diva is thinking this would be PERFECT over a hot dress for a Christmas party or a night out on the town.

TREND ALERT!

The Diva's BFF Rachel Bilson is one stylish babe. She also loooves her chic Burberry trench. And can you blame her? If there is ANY trend you pick up for this winter, you simple MUST get your self a trench coat. Ahem...did you hear ,e? Get a trench!!

psst...you can get the same look for less at Forever21!! Don't ever say that I sent you.

Ooooo! A QUESTION! The Diva looooooves questions. This hottie reader posted the following question after my Burberry scarf post:

How do you suggest wearing this scarf...drape it...tie it...wrap it?

Thank you for the question. In my opinion, it totally depends on what you are wearing. Are you wearing it under a heavy coat? Are you wearing it over a cute top and jeans and no coat? All of these come into play when deciding how to tie it. (And believe me - there are tons of ways!) It also depends on you. Some ties that look good on some people look hideous on The Diva and make her look like a turtle. (and who wants to look like a turtle?) Lucky for us we have the power of the internet. The Diva found this fabu site with oodles of ideas. Like this:

European Casual

Double Flip

Classic Flip

Classic Drape


Double Knot

Oooo, it's cold outside Divas!! But The Diva assures you that even though it is cold enough to want to dress like the stay-puff marshmallow man, The Diva begs of you to please stay stylish. How do you do that, you ask? Well, accessorize, accessorize, accessorize!! Take the oh so fabulous Burberry scarf from edesignershop.com. DITs (Divas-in-Training) this should be a STAPLE accessory in your wardrobe. It is a MUST, hear?
