Winter Style with Adidas Outdoors and Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH

The Adidas Outdoors Climawarm Nuvic Jacket is just the long down jacket I was looking for. I was surprised at how lightweight this jacket is, yet how warm it is on. It's made with climawarm® technology, which keeps you warm and comfortable in cold weather. It's also easily packable to take on trips. 

The jacket has a hood, side zip pickets and a zip pocket on the left sleeve, great for stashing a metro or credit card and cash. The overlapping baffle design provides enhanced insulation. The water-resistant down still maintains warmth even when the jacket is wet. There are even heat seal inserts on the neck and cuffs to keep warm air inside.

I'm amazed at how well the XS fit. Other long down jackets I have tried either had an oversized fit or the sleeves were too long. This down jacket has a tailored fit, and since it stays insulated and warm, there's no need to wear clothing in layers with this jacket. 

This puffer jacket was the perfect outer layer to pair with a super comfy Pure Navy Plaid Curved-Hem Shirtdress in Black White and Ava & Aiden Jord Metallic Bow Detail Pumps in Gold both from Saks Fifth Avenue Off Fifth, and Spanx Faux Leather Leggings.

adidas Fall/Winter 2014

Here are my favorite fall/winter picks from adidas, when it comes to working out or layering up, including some pieces from adidas by Stella McCartney, such as the wintersport seamless top ($180), run printed tank ($75) and run performance mid-layer ($180). The new colorado vest ($62.99) and adidas neo down jacket $130 make great outerwear additions to your wardrobe this season while the energy boost 2.0 atr ($160) and adidas by Stella McCartney sequel climacool shoes ($210) are the perfect running shoes when it comes to style and comfort.
