Winter is Coming!

It's cold. Well, its not like I live in Alaska, or Antarctica, or anything. Simply put, winters are amazingly cold, and summers are amazingly hot and humid. So, throughout the year, my wardrobe changes drastically. Lets look at some New England winter must-haves.

Long Coat: I have had normal-length coats, and they do keep you warm, but only your top half. I needed my bottom half to be warm too! So, I got a great long coat for this winter. It's great. It keeps me nice and toasty.

Uggs: Yes, I know they're ugly. They do a good job at keeping your feet warm, though. I'd rather wear Ugg(lies) than the plastic goodness that was the snowboots of my childhood.

Scarf: Better make it big and chunky; you're gonna need it! Bright colors make a drab, cold day so much better.

Gloves: If you plan on using your hands outside, you need to plan on getting gloves. They come in different fabrics, and patterns, so they can match anything. Leather, and lace are my favorite, but not together. Try a pair that have a cute embellishment, like bows.

Layering: Layers are awesome. They keep you warm, but you can always take them off. The idea, though, is to layer without being bulky. To do that, use peices that are thin.

Daily Outifts! and I is Loving...

I have been so busy, that I haven't posted in forever. Here are a few recent Daily Outfits.


It consists of: a black sweater from the Army-Navy Surplus Store, and purple skinny Tripp pants from Hot Topic.
This was for going to work; I worked at a daycare. And I have/had pink hair. It was awesome.



This outfit: green short sleeve sweater from Forever21, and black skinny Tripp pants from Hot Topic.

First off, the sweater from the Army-Navy store is awesome. I got it for my Outward Bound trip, but never used it. So I use it at home now. I love the proportions it makes with the skinny pants. Skinny pants, I think, make me look put together, and not sloppy. The big black sweater goes on my I is Loving list.
Other things I is loving at the moment: BRYANBOY!!! His motto is "I'm so gay I sweat glitter." He is a fashion blogger, who is very into himself. He is very very very fashionable, and LOVES Marc Jacobs. He makes me laugh. Also, Pigs in the Bahamas! I'll let you take in some cuteness.

Okay, so cute, right? It's from a flickr set by Eric Cheng. I don't have any idea who he is, but these pictures are totally my cute quotient for the day. Check out the whole set: .

So go check the piggies out, and check BryanBoy out. They will make you squeel.
