Winter Winds

Winter Winds- Mumford & Sons

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. 

Faux Fur: Ricki's (??), Navy Sparkle Cardigan: Gap, Plaid Button-up: American Eagle, Black Leggings: Joe Fresh, Brown Equestrian Boots: Aldo, Sparkle Socks: Gift from my Mum (who LOVES to give people "fun" socks!) 

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! 

Plaid Men's Shirt: Bluenotes, Black Leggings: Joe Fresh, Black Equestrian Boots: House of Harlow, Black Beret: Le Chateau, Grey Knit Scarf: Ralph Lauren, Brown Fur Gloves: Naf Naf

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! :)

Wear and Tear

Wear and Tear- Pete Yorn and Scarlett Johanssen
We're getting our first snow storm today, it's crazy that just a few days ago it was an indian summer! Because of the upcoming freeze I've been wearing layers upon layers, trying to stay warm and cozy. This shawl is perfect to throw on top of pretty much any outfit I've tried (it looks ravishing with my pjs!) so it hasn't spent much time off my shoulders. 
In honour of my "hundred" list I'm wearing lipstick! Eek. I adore the stuff, it's so womanly and elegant, but I feel so ostentatious when I wear it. Though I did go kinda loud with the poppy colour! But after seeing so much of this colour on the runways I'm kind of obsessed. Maybe I'll leave it for special occasions, doing the dishes and Halloween.

And now I think I'm going to curl up on the couch with some sticky toffee pudding (!) and probably fall asleep in 15 min. I think the caffine intake is going to have to increase if I'm going to keep going at this pace! 
How's your week going? And has anyone thought of a good costume yet?? 
Halloweek is here!
