Winter's Not So Bad After All

Winter is great because you don't have to dress like a teenage stripper in order to stop sweating. Also you get to wear chunky sweaters and soft knits, plus boots with knee socks! Cashmere and shearling and faux fur that feels real! And peppermint bark with hot chocolate and huge marshmallows from Williams-Sonoma! In summer, you can't layer your Rodarte cardigan and Proenza Schouler nordic sweater with your Alexander McQueen skull-printed scarf. In the summer, it's weird if you ask for a cup of chicken noodle soup and a pumpkin spice latte (not that I drink coffee anyway). I guess I could go on and on, but instead I made a set on Polyvore of a few of my favorite Fall/Winter pieces.

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year by Break a Stiletto

As you've probably guessed, the purple/blue cardigan is by Rodarte and the nordic white/black sweater is by Proenza Schouler. The faux-fur coat is Lanvin for H&M, ring by Lanvin, wedges by Camilla Skovgaard, jeans by Superfine, and fur clutch by Michael Kors. The nail polish is a limited edition khaki set by Chanel, and the picture in the upper left corner is of Liu Wen.

Ugly shoe time!

Also, is it possible for a flower to get a cold because I think this one's nose is running.

More Ugly Shoes and Flowers. Plus Some Really Nice Shoes.

Today is my first official day of Winter Break. Technically, it started at 3:10 PM on Friday, December 17th, but that doesn't really count because I was in school for practically the whole day, plus Saturday and Sunday was the weekend. I, along with my classmates are lucky because we get an abnormally long winter break compared to other schools. So while some of my friends are in classes right now, I'm mooching around on the couch blogging about my pathetic life, hardy har har.
Anyhow, let's start with the ugly shoes so your eyes will have a chance to get over the scarring/ugly-ification whilst reading the rest of this blog.

Okay wait WHAT IS THIS.

 Notice the text on the bottom; "Club Wear" is the defining term here.

Jesus juss' hangin' out on mah shoez.

I actually have a folder on my desktop dubbed, "uglyshoes." Moving on. Here are the new pictures of flowers I promised.

Now for some beautiful shoes!

Camilla Skovgaard wedges with her famous "saw" heel.

 Christian Louboutin studded oxford. And lastly...

Hunter Boyne boot. 

I bought my parents' Christmas prezzys yesterday. DISCLAIMER: If you are my mother or father you should probably stop reading now because I am about to list the things I got you both.

1. TREATS FROM FINANCIER! Mini meringues, mini chocolate cakes things, Financier's Espresso blend, and almond cookies dipped in chocolate.

2. Jefferson Airplane Live at The Filmore East

I am mucho proud of myself. I was also going to buy my father this book called "Cobain Unseen," but I figured that one, we don't need anymore books in this house and two, I was just going to purchase it, wrap it, put a little sticker on it that said "To: Dad," but really read it myself because my father doesn't particularly care for Kurt Cobain or Nirvana, for that matter. 

I hope I haven't bored you.

It really annoys me that Blogger doesn't allow uploads of GIF images. GIFs are always nice and amusing additions to any blog post.
