New York Fashion Week trends are about a whole lot more than just clothes and accessories.

The tale of this calf-length puffer coat is one that includes a true internal struggle.

It's one I'm sure you can relate ... at least I hope you can. :P

I know what you're thinking — Wow, Aleesha! Your legs have gotten so thin.

Ya ... that's not me. :P

Do you ever have those days were you just don't want to think about what you're going to wear, but yet you still want to look stylish?

Don't you just love when that happens?

Shop a few of my favourite ankle boots after the jump.

Happy Monday and thank you for stopping by!
