Not very interesting today I think. It’s much more dramatic looking in person.  Maybe because you can see the pattern of the sweater?  It’s difficult to see in the photo.  I’m not really sure about it because it’s just so casual.  When it comes to dressing down there is a point at which I am actually not comfortable because I begin to feel too generic and bleh.

Normally I wear black. A lot. Head to toe. However, lately I think I haven’t been wearing much black, maybe because the sky outside is always black! It’s been very bleak here.
This is apparently the new office favorite. I have no idea why because really, it’s not very… anything.

I actually had a bit of time to take these before jetting off to work today!  It snowed again, so it’s the boots again. That’s my favorite huge umbrella with rainforest print. Does carrying an umbrella in the snow look odd? People here think so, but I don’t like it when snow gets in my hair and then melts when I go inside. I don’t like having wet hair! I’ve been letting my hair go curly so getting it wet again = lots of frizz.

It’s so dark here all the time! I think it’s because of the snow. It’s supposed to snow again tomorrow but then it’s not supposed to snow again for three or four days. Maybe I can wear some other shoes!

How tired are you of seeing these boots?  I do not want to wear them again tomorrow but I probably will have too — it is snowing now and it’s supposed to snow until Wednesday morning.  It’s good that I did wear them again today because I had to go all over town for work and the snow is NOT shoveled/drifted EVERYWHERE in so many places. 

I’m experimenting with new poses… I’m not sure how this one worked out?

I do speak with a French accent.

In Arabic.

(French was my first foreign language.  Every new language I add starts out with a French accent.  And I was never able to drop it when speaking Arabic.)

Kisses!  The second picture is what happens when: (a) you set your camera to burst, which takes a series of photos in a row but doesn’t alert you as to exactly when they are being taken (b) there’s two feet of slippery snow on the ground (c) you are trying to blow kisses at the camera for a Valentine’s Day photo.

This is my best frame of the day :P  Yeah… bad, right? I can’t walk on the snow for photos in those shoes but I am tired of being limited to rubber-soled boots.  Snow removal is so bad this week for some reason!  There are still six inches on some of the streets and everywhere is covered in snow and ice.  There’s more snow here than the Olympics!

I think there’s something wrong with my camera too.  It refuses to focus.  I took about 25 in two different settings and they were all seriously out of focus — just big color blobs — except for three.  Don’t know what’s going on but I hope I don’t have to have it fixed/replaced!

I really wanted to wear black patent platform sandals instead of my snow boots but there’s just too much ice and snow. It’s like everything suddenly shrunk: sidewalks are a fraction of their original size and roads have become one lane instead of two. This is the first time I’ve worn my new silver watch! It was on super sale at HauteLook for $12 last week.

Today at work everyone figured out I was on Chictopia (read: saw me reading comments) and demanded to see all my photos. I was really surprised that it was such big news, but I guess we haven’t had any excitement or received any non-monetary bribes/gifts in days. I also had to give a quick lecture on the importance of Alexander McQueen. I was going to wear my most inspired look today but after trying on at least 1/4 of the pieces in my closet I realized that nothing I could come up with would do him justice. McQueen was one of the first designers I followed and I’m sad that I don’t own any of his wonderful creations. I hear they’re selling out quickly so maybe I’ll look on net-a-porter right away!

Despite the very large amount of snow (two feet?) it was not very cold today so I decided to break out the cape! I haven’t been able to wear it since about this time last month — it’s been far too cold! I had off from work again today! Everyone else in my office was in but almost everywhere in the area had off again. The snow plow didn’t come in my neighborhood until around 11 am for some reason so I guess we are just not high priority!

Yesterday my friends still at school participated in a 200+ person snowball fight. The YouTube video is crazy! So jealous!

I love black and white photography, and I like myself best in black and white.  Especially in the snow!  I think snow is always a good opportunity for black and white pictures — I’m not a very good photographer and snow makes getting a good contrast shot easy!!

I went out to play in the snow by myself and made a snow angel today!  It’s only been a few hours but it snowed so much that it’s already filled in.  Oh well, guess that  means I have to make another one tomorrow!  There’s at least 20 inches out there but I hoped for more… I’d really like to jump off the roof :)  Dangerous but fun, and I haven’t been able to do it since I was maybe twelve?  I love to go out in the snow because it doesn’t snow as heavily here as it used to — every few years there used to be a blizzard and a week off from school/work!  This is the most snow in probably about ten years!
