let it snow!

hi hi!

very busy,
but today was the first snowfall of the year,
worthy of a post!

first snow falls are always exciting because it completes the scene,
the christmas carols have been playing for a while,
the tree has been decorated,
gifts continue to be purchased,
the first snow fall completes is the last piece of the puzzle,
it completes the season.

but snow also has very functional purposes,
after all, is it really a winter, if you haven't tobogganed?

i am not a fan of early snow falls,
they come too soon,
when I still have to trek downtown for school,
& when i still have to wait on cold platforms for the late trains,
but this year, the snow was kind enough to wait for classes to end!

i've been listening to this & this & this & this a lot lately!

&

coming soon,
my holiday gift guide,
so exciting!


hope you're seeing some snow outside your window!

on cold mornings and wonderful outfits

tonight, another late night study session awaits me.

but that's okay because i'm gazing outside my windows,
that are intimately hugged by the a sheet of thin frost.

this morning as i stepped outside the house,
it was eerily quiet, but i relished in the silence,
i inhaled a deep breathe of that fresh, crisp winter air,
& as i exhaled i could see the smoke of my breathe in front of me,
which reminded me of being little and pretending that i was smoking,
did you ever do that?

it was so perfect, but with one click, the car doors were open,
i slid on to the leather seats and was on my way!

The photos above are all outfits i wish i had in my closet.
perfect for waging war against the cold winter.

& a nice treat is that my good friend bojana is the model in all of the pictures!

0h! and tomorrow is my friend mila's 22nd birthday, now that's exciting!

kisses,
