Pre-Snowmageddon

Slow day at work today and I got to leave an hour early.  Tomorrow I won’t be going at all and I’m really hoping to have a snowball fight!

Banana Republic sweater, Anthropologie scarf, Ann Taylor Loft skirt, Penneys tights, Mossimo (Target) boots.

The Vampire Alexandra

Winter pale + grey skin from lack of sleep = I am beginning to look undead.  I probably swallowed some blood today during my thirty minute nosebleed too. A bit too casual today maybe… I would just rather wear a suit or a dress.  Every day.

Anthropologie sweater, Anthropologie shirt, American Apparel skirt, Penneys tights, Michael Michael Kors wedges.

Déjà Vu: Modern Snow White

As soon as I saw the photos I developed a major case of déjà vu… where had I seen this before?  About an hour later it finally clicked… Snow White.  No, really.

Yellow, red, black, and I am so pale.  How scary is that?  Although I suspect I wouldn’t look so Snow White-ish if there wasn’t any snow on the ground.

Time for the Super Bowl!  Yes, I am wearing this to my Super Bowl party.  I thought about wearing jeans… for about three minutes.  But Snow White?  So much better.

Oh P.S. this outfit made it to Chictopia’s Style Gallery for about ten minutes.  Then the editors gave me the axe.  I didn’t think it was one of my best looks either :)

American Apparel dolman sleeve shirt, Anthropologie skirt, Target belt, Frye boots.

Snow Moccasins

Pictures… at night… in the snow…  I don’t think they came out too well.  Maybe I need to Google online photography classes?  Does that even exist?

I’m wearing my Minnetonka slippers from Zappos.  I have VIP, get it if it’s still available!  I’m not wearing anything too good today.  That’s my sort of new winter coat.  It’s sold out now but there’s a new trench version for spring.  Very dangerous, because I do like the ice grey color.  I wasn’t snowed in, my car will go through snow without problems, but I had nowhere to go today.  And nothing to do.  And, well, I probably didn’t need to be sitting around in my Sue Wong or something :)

I got the scarf in Ireland, probably one of the best purchases I’ve ever made.  It’s a very soft wool.  I normally like cashmere or cotton (or pashmina, whatever that’s made of) because wool tends to itch me, but this wool comes from some nice Irish sheep.  It’s by Avoca, a weaving company started sometime in the 1700s.  I believe it’s handwoven and there are these lovely button details on it that I’ll have to take a closer photo of later.  Avoca Café in Dublin is very good as well.  I actually went the the day before I left Ireland and brought back something like three scones, two shortbreads, and four other kinds of cookies.  I have a serious, serious cookie problem.

Tahari asymmetrical wool coat, Avoca scarf look available here!, Forever21 leggings, Minnetonka moccasins.  H&M dress and Target belt are not really visible under all the wrappings.

Crooked Gold

My belt is crooked in pretty much every photo I took today.  Go me!!  I have serious ballet arms in these photos — that also happens in almost every photo of me.  I was going to wear my new Michael Michael Kors wedges but as there is supposed to be a blizzard going on… yeah.  There isn’t any snow yet.  The stuff that’s on the ground is from a few days ago.

I’ve been falling asleep with my computer on my stomach every night this week.  At like four a.m. although I’ve been taking double pills.  Bad news, considering work starts at the (ungodly hour) of 10 a.m.  Maybe I’ll be able to sleep a little tonight?  Tomorrow?

If I does not snow I will be very upset.  I want to have a snowball war.

I Guess That’s Why They Call It The Blues

Tomorrow we are supposed to have a blizzard!  Well actually we are just on the border of having a blizzard/not having a blizzard.  I’m hoping for lots of snow!  It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a foot or more of snow and I really miss the serious 4+ feet of snow storms that happened when I was younger.  I actually swam through snow one year… and jumped off the roof (no, not dangerous at all) the same year.

I am so underslept again.  My skin is legitimately grey.  My usual concealer is not in stock anywhere.  I really do not want to spring for YSL at $38.  Tea bags?  Except… I’m out of tea.  If the blizzard doesn’t happen too early maybe I can go after work?  But all the bread and milk run people will be there :P  I’ve seen people buy five gallons of milk before a snowstorm.  Because everyone eats bread pudding during blizzards.  And ten bowls of cereal per day. I should probably go to a specialty store — maybe the tea room will still be open!!

Snow Zebra? And Pine Cone Ears

Underslept and overcaffeinated again.  I thought I was supposed to leave these days behind after school?  I need to stock Red Bull again — secret weapon of choice during sorority rush.

It snowed a lot last night but most of it melted and was gone by midday :(  But it’s supposed to snow more this weekend, maybe one foot!  I was planning on going to D.C. but I might not because it’s also supposed to snow there and most of the accumulation will occur Friday and Saturday during the day… so maybe it’s not a good time for a trip?  I don’t care if I have to drive in the snow, but if everything closes/is boring because it snowed then probably I won’t go.

I really need to waterproof those suede boots!  I’m sure I have some spray for UGGs around somewhere…

I forget dress (from Commander Salamander in Georgetown haha), Target belt, Penneys tights (all those tights I bought in Ireland were the best investment!), Arturo Chiang boots, Coach sunglasses.

Back in Black

I wear a lot of black.  A LOT.  Sometimes I feel like I should try other colors?  Maybe it’s just that it’s winter… I swear my summer clothes are a little more cheery!

Have I mentioned that I was once Morticia Addams for Halloween?

Sweet Candy dress (Francesca’s Collections), Penneys tights, Luccia G. stilettos (the heel is coming off ahhh).

Hiding in the Trees

So sunny again today, and yet so cold!  New American Apparel skirt from the shopping trip yesterday!  I’m so glad there’s an American Apparel at King of Prussia Mall — I can practically go any time I want to!

Aqua by Bloomingdales sweater, American Apparel Interlock Pencil Skirt, H&M sweater tights, Anne Cole pumps.

Alexbird

Frrreeeeeeeeeeezingggg!  After a lovely warm spell of weather in the 40s… it’s back into the teens and staying there.  These are late — from Friday.

No pictures from today and I didn’t wear anything special anyway.  I did do six solid hours of shopping though so I wore loose, uncomplicated separates.
