Think Pink

So if you haven't looked out of the window, or don't live in the UK, a crisp, clean, white sheet of snow has fallen and covered everything, turning even the daily walk to uni, into a magical, winter wonderland.

It came down pretty hard and was not stopping on Monday while i was in uni, so in m lunch break, the big kid within me just couldn't hold in the excitement any longer and me and some friends went outside for a little frolic in the snow.

It was like being a kid again for a brief moment, in the midst of all the hectic work. Sometimes i feel a bit sad, as silly as it sounds, that people moan about snow and how much of a hassle it is. And it is, it's a bitch to drive in, public transport is all out of whack and everything is, well...just a bit more of a hassle. But it's so magical! When that first snowflake falls down, everyone gets a sparkle of excitement in their eye, and there is just nothing like it. It brings back all those childhood memories you had building snowmen and sledging, when you didn't have to deal with the hassle that comes with it. So in my head, i just think, why not enjoy it like you used to?!

A few snowballs were thrown and it was still coming down like no-body's business, so after a short while, back in we went to thaw out.

I must have been channeling 15-year old me that day, as i had a lot of girly pink donned on me. Also i find too much of this pink can be a bit sickly, I love pastels and i thought it looked so serene amongst the crisp white background of the snow. This skirt is one of those items of clothing that I've had for quite a long time, but have forgotten about and recently discovered how much i love it once again. The watercolour effect is so pretty and reminds me of oriental artwork.

I also like the subtle bits of glitter that glimmer in this jumper, not too different from the snow and ice sparkling outside.

My friend, Hannah, also pointed out how my outfit kind of slotted in nicely with my work and wall space, which made me think that m work may be subconsciously taking over my life more than i thought!

I hope you're all wrapping up warm, as there apparently seems to be more snow heading this way, and hope that you got a cheeky play in the snow too ;)

Hope you're well,

Baby it's cold outside...

I am a big Christmas person, so i get into the festive move pretty early on and it is just getting more and more intense as Christmas draws nearer. So, with my festive jumper protecting me, i braved the cold.

On my way into uni today with Hannah, the backdrop was just beautiful. The was frost caressing every twig and leaf on the trees, and it was just so goregously wintery, like it was right out of a christmas card scene.

Along with a fetive jumper, that has carefully placed sequins and beads that sparkle like fairy lights, i also wore a skirt that just sums up winter and Christmas for me.

With strands of wool and golden threads running through it, i love the texture and look of this skirt and is unlinke anything that i own.

Hannah was also wrapped up warm in her cozy grey coat from Zara looking snug, with her leather rucksack in tow, ready for any frosty, fun adventure.

Walking through this racecourse everday, sometimes i forget how lovely the nature is within it. The weather just enhanced this and altough it may not be the Taj Mahal, it definitely shoudl be not taken for granted.

Do you look forward to the winter weather and have yoru fingers crossed for snow? Or do you find it more of a pain and a hindrence?
