style # 2 : winter braids


I really love it when the weather starts to turn cold, and there's reason to wrap up in scarves and cozy coats.  I don't love the more complicated part of that outfit equation, when your long hair goes crazy in that tangle of fabric.  If I wear my hair down in the winter it more often than not turns into a kind of static-y mess, so you'll likely see it woven up in a braid.  These are a few of my favorites - i.e. ones I've actually managed to accomplish.  Braids are such a pretty way to frame your face, and as you can see in the top left picture they compliment the season's burgundy lip as a Russian inspired nod to opulence for everyday.  

I fully plan to do a few tutorial videos on some of these when I get around to it!  Most of them are less complicated than they look - much faster than a usual blowout.

extravagant necessities




Oh I'm sorry, you mean you don't wear fluffy fur coats to go to the bank and the pharmacy and Wal-Mart on Thursdays? Well, I normally don't either, but tell me, what else am I supposed to wear when it looks like this outside?



That's our actual tree. It took me nearly an hour to clean this off my car this morning (but don't worry, I wore Uggs for that.)

“A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water.”





I ventured outside to take some pictures of my outfit today since today will apparently be the last day I'll ever get to GO OUTSIDE. It would seem that everyone in the northern midwest is preparing for the apocalypse that is this disastrous ice storm we're supposed to get in a few hours. Seriously, Darrell's teachers canceled class in anticipation of it. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET PEOPLE. Good thing I work from home, because as I was writing this it started to sleet and they predict no stopping for 48 hours. I'm all stocked up on candles, food, & hot chocolate, and pretty much anything else you need to be snowed in. Bonus: our new record player arrives today and we have a plethora of albums we haven't even listened to yet!
I just hope the power doesn't go out...

"That is your fur coat?" "It is." "Kramer says you need it cause you're desperate for attention." "That's true." - Seinfeld







You know, I understand that fur is a little extravagant for the everyday. Hell, I understand that it's a LOT extravagant for the everyday.
Sure, there are other options for truly frigid weather. Parkas, pea coats, hoodies, fleeces, trenches, they're all fine. But they're not l-o-v-e-l-y.
There is nothing as soft, as warm, or as pretty as a really fantastic fur.
