After my dreamy holiday in Tulum and Havana, I was dreading the frigid cold weather that awaited me at my next destination. I must admit that there was a part of me that didn't want to leave the beautiful beaches and the feeling of the warm sun against my skin, but at last it was time for me to head back home to London. Of course the most exciting aspect of coming back home has been getting to spend precious time with my family and catching up with all my besties. Although I always keep in touch and visit as often as I can, it is incredible how much changes in so little time.

For a while now I had been wanting to style the shirtdress piece by Xander that I acquired sometime before the holidays and was excited to see how I could wear it in below freezing weather. Xander is a contemporary brand that is looking to revolutionize the way women think about getting dressed in the morning by providing the understated and sleek design of the shirtdress. The shirtdress is a versatile article of clothing that can easily be worn from season to season if paired with the perfect weather appropriate attire. If you are looking to start an edited wardrobe collection with timeless pieces, the shirtdress is a must have and I highly recommend investing in one.

To make this look fall ready, I layered the shirtdress with an ASOS turtleneck, some over the knee suede boots by Stuart Weitzman and threw on a shearling trench style coat by Burberry for extra warmth. Since this look is so timeless I though the patent Chanel bag was the perfect compliment for this particular outfit.
