Reason No. 1

This boot should be enough of a reason to be excited for winter. How cute are these? Seriously. I can just imagine how fantastic these would look with some dark wash skinny jeans and a military jacket. If I didn't already have some pretty awesome snow boots, these would be on my list.

Ok, so this is awesome. Just because I'm a grown up doesn't mean I'm too old for coloring. I think I may have just found a grown up coloring book...how cool is that?!?! I think I want it.

Dreaming Again


I'm dreaming again. I just can't help but visit the Antrhopologie sale page and put together an awesome pretend outfit that I will never have. It's ok though, it's always fun to pretend! Wouldn't this be a fun outfit for a low key holiday party? You'd be the talk of the town.

Oh Hey Snow

While everyone else seems to be cursing mother nature for the recent snow, I'm jumping for joy. Thanks mother nature! I can't wait for a real snow, I love the way it makes the world appear, so soft and yet crisp at the same time. My theory is, why fight it when you can just try to find the beauty it it? I love that we have seasons and I enjoy each one individually.
