It’s official, Henry really does not like the snow. Like, really really. Don’t worry - he was only out there for a minute and then he was back to being warm and cozy in his favorite…. cardboard box.

I really don’t blame him though. We are now burred in snow and hoping that there is no reason to go outside into the negative degree temperatures. I’d be happy with this weekend consisting only of pajamas and soup and netflix. 

Stay warm, my friends. 

HELLO 2014! MEET MY NEW LOVE.

For a long time I’ve longed for a big fluffy tulle skirt. I came close to purchasing different ones here and there. I’ve even thought about making one, and then just… didn’t. Because I’m lazy. And then I spotted this one, and with the help of a christmas gift card, I made my tulle skirt dreams come true. 

It’s real love. 

And I must say, a real good outfit start to 2014.

I cannot believe that today marks the last day of 2013. Another whole year has gone by?! When did that happen?! Geez. I’m getting old. Well, I thought that I would look back at 2013 and leave you with 13 outfits - 12 favorites and 1 unseen. As well as a few other favorite moments from the past year. 

See ya later 2013, it’s been real. And here’s to you, 2014! Let’s make it another good one.

On My Feet

It’s probably a wee bit too cold right now to be exposing any part of my feet. But I had just received these cute little flats in the mail the day before, and couldn’t help but give them a spin. Now if only we could fast forward a few months to some warmer weather, I would never take them off.

Coat Collector

Yet another winter coat! I think this makes… 7 or 8 now. With an ninth handmade one in the works. I can’t stop collecting them. Especially when I find a bunch of really cute, cheap ones at Buffalo Exchange. They’re too good to pass up! Now we just need a bigger coat closet. Yikes.
