WINTER OUTFITS - Some tips and advice - coming fro

WINTER OUTFITS - Some tips and advice - coming from someone who insisted on wearing wool coats on freezing days when move here and quickly discovered it was not sustainable! lol

‼️SHOP THESE ITEMS THROUGH THE LINK ON MY STORIES, LINK IN BIO OR CHECK MY “FASHION” HIGHLIGHTS.

🧥WINTER COATS - I have two great winter coats - one is from @sam.newyork, and the other one is from @mooseknucklescanada, and I saw a huge difference when upgrading to these more premium brands. You can always save by looking for a secondhand option. @mackage @canadagoose @thenorthface and @patagonia are also great brands!

🧣THERMAL LAYERS - I’m a fan of @uniqlousa thermal layers - and these items are key - especially the tops. I’ve been thinking about getting a thermal pant as well!

🧦FLEECE LINED TIGHTS - I know I talk about these a lot, but it’s because I LOVE THEM! Such a game-changer when wearing dresses or skirts.

👚SWEATERS - you are not gonna be that warm by wearing polyester sweaters. Paying attention to the label composition is something I do for all my clothing.

🩹CROP TOP BAND - such a simple accessory that helps me to style bulky or long sweaters!

RUNNING IN THE COLD - training for the @united NYC

RUNNING IN THE COLD - training for the @united NYC Half 🏃‍♀️💪🏼

As someone who started running about one and a half years ago, I was always amazed and shocked by people who run outside in the cold weather.

But since I’m gonna run my first half-marathon – the United Airlines NYC Half in 2025 – I had no choice but to accept the fact that I would have to join that group, lol.

I got some tips from a friend who already ran 3 half-marathons - thanks @alegailey - and these are all the items I’ve been using to run outside.

‼️ Please check my stories for all the links - or check the link in bio (outfits) or my highlights “Half Marathon”

🏃‍♀️ Use my code LAURAP to try @runna for 2 weeks for free!

BEST WINTER FASHION HACK! If you follow me for a

BEST WINTER FASHION HACK!

If you follow me for a while, you know that I’m obsessed with these tights! They look like see-through tights but are lined with fleece, creating the illusion that they are transparent - and, of course, they are super warm! I also love to wear them as my thermal layer, with wide pants!

✅ I have the Black pantyhose / 320g / Small/medium;
✅ There are other colors and thicknesses;

I bought on @amazonfashion - I linked it on my Amazon storefront (link in bio), my outfits page (link in bio) and on my Favorites highlights!

I get a small commission when you purchase using my links, so thanks for that ❤️

‼️I know this one is not inclusive considering all skin colors - so for more shades I recommend checking @getnoosh

NYC DIARIES - Everything I did in November and it’s worth sharing (a little late, but here we are!)

Since I didn’t spend the whole month of November in NYC, I couldn’t gather a lot of recs and tips to feature at this time… but I do think these ones are worth it!

🇫🇷Celebrating @mividaen.nyc birthday at La Grande @boucherie_us - I absolutely love this French restaurant and this Midtown location is just stunning. The setting is beautiful and transports you straight to Paris. (1, 2, 3 & 4)

🏃‍♀️Checking the NYC Marathon and cheering for my friend @raquelpaivablog ... (5)

🍕…and celebrating her achievement at @lavoglianyc - this Italian restaurant on the UES serving pizzas and pasta - the truffle pizza was a delight.(6)

🌰 Discovering the amazing @thenutsfactory - they invited me to a private event to check their new Dubai Chocolate flavors and OMG! You will find freshly roasted nuts & candied nuts, dried fruits, gummies, spices, teas, and more! As you can see, Mr. Snack was really happy… lol. (7 & 8)

🍜Lunch at The House of the Red Pearl at @tinbuilding - it was part of a video I did with @theseaportnyc and were so impressed by the food! The Black Bean Spare Ribs were our favorite dish - but perhaps the highlight was the desserts - Mango Sago Pudding and Roasted Golden Pineapple Upside Down Cake Yellow Curry Ice Cream. (9)

PLUS… this restaurant was featured in one episode of And Just Like That… (10)

🎄I know a lot of people have pet peeves about Holiday-themed places (me too!) but the The Jingle Jangle at @thedeadrabbitny - @rooftopatpier17 - is amazing. The decor is absolutely stunning, and the food is also really good. They will be open for Christmas and New Year’s Eve - and in January, the place will be converted into a Sports Bar. (11 & 12)

🏃‍♀️And I couldn’t forget the fact I was selected for the United Airlines NYC Half and I’m so excited about it! By the way, I’m using @runna to help with my training routine! You can use my code LAURAP to get two weeks free to try the app! (13)

That’s all 😍 Subscribe to my newsletter to receive these tips every month (and other content too!). Link in my bio!
