Rolling in the Deep

Rolling in the Deep- Adele
I don't normally talk about the songs that contribute to my post titles, but o. my. I think I'm deeply obsessed with this one! It's been on repeat... over and over again! The perfect song to warble out while working out (...or more likely knitting...shhh). 
And seeing as I've brought the cold weather out to BC with me, I might as well sing this beauty to my heart's content while cocooning in my apartment this snowy weekend! 
Black Jacket- Le Chateau, Green Men's Shirt- H&M, Black Cami- Banana Republic, Leggings- Joe Fresh, Scarf/Shawl- Value Village, Brown Boots- Aldo, Long Necklace- Club Monaco, Silver Necklace- Gift
I mean, it's hardly like this "snow storm" (yes, I did hear a local call it that...pfft!) should stop me from running around, but it's kind of a nice excuse to throw on a warm scarf/shawl and many layers. I've been in a bit of a rut fashion wise lately, the only reason I can come up with is that I'm not feeling really settled. Apparently, being in-between houses does an odd thing to my sense of style! But I did feel like myself again in this, layered and cozy with a bit of vintage and of course, my boots!

Winter Winds

I can't remember ever having this much snow so soon into winter- I know I should be shovelling out my driveway but it seems a tad pointless to do it while more snow is falling. Plus, it's just so much cozier being inside sketching the snow than moving it!
The knee deep snow means that boots have been all but mandatory for everyday wear- unless you like having cold and wet ankles. Thankfully I adore my boots, so I'm not exactly heartbroken about this.

I've decided that I'm going to make a few resolutions this year- though I'm trying to start them early (no time like the present, right?). I normally don't bother too much with them, and the one's I've set for myself this year aren't exactly groundbreaking or earth shattering, but they are things that I've been wanting to do for a while. I'm actually quite excited! 
Do you make resolutions?

on a day like this

On a Day Like This- Elbow
Big fluffly snowflakes were falling all day yesterday, blanketing everything in a beautiful, if slightly annoying, sheet of white. It was a perfect day to sit inside and finish work on various projects that have been pushed aside by trips, (paid) work and life in general. My To Do List is still intimidating, but at least a dent has been made!

I'm slowly starting to make some overdue changes in the format of the blog- so if things are moving around/deleted/scrambled... let me know! I'm still teaching myself all the formatting, HTML code and all the other fun (and frustrating at times!) things that come with a blog. I have an idea in my head of how I want it to look- hopefully I can get it there... without throwing my computer out the window! 
Let me know what you think of the upcoming changes, I would really appreciate it. Sometimes I get too stuck in my head and can't see the forest for the tree! :)
