Catherine Bell is back with another holiday movie for Hallmark called “Christmas in the Air”, which is set to air on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries network this Sunday. In the film, Bell stars as Lydia, a no-nonsense professional organizer who falls for a toy-inventor client.

For the wintry scenes, Lydia bundles up in her winter best; she wears a deep wine-colored Burberry Fur Trim Puffer Coat in Claret, a mid-length down-filled design with a black detachable fox fur trimmed hood, matching rib-stitch dark panels at the sides and a black belt.

The coat, which also comes in black and navy, is on the pricier side at $1,595 on Burbery.com.

Merry ‘Little Christmas’!!!! I still have my decorations up, so I’ll be taking some time out today to enjoy a Christmas movie with a big mug of peppermint hot cocoa. I hope all of you that observe Little Christmas will find a way to celebrate the season a bit today… even though we’re no longer on ‘holiday time’ in the work field, school etc.

On another note, my thoughts and prayers are with all of those in Fort Lauderdale affected by the horrific shooting that took place at an airport today. This violence needs to end.

Stay Merry,
