So, my East Coast/Southern ladies, on a scale from 1 to over it, how are we feeling about the constant snow predictions?  It’s a good thing I love my boots! and faux fur!  Man, how I love me some faux fur. And sequins too.  I hope when I’m 75 I still love those things.

Laura and I were having a strangely serious gchat conversation today (as serious as a convo can be on gchat, I suppose) – talking about owning homes, businesses – being married, having children (children in the future-tense, most assuredly) – and it made me think about the blogging community (as a lot of things seem to do!).  It is pretty damn cool to belong to such a vibrant, supportive community of like-minded women who are all in v. different places in their lives (we’re single, married, living with a significant other, we go to college, are teachers and counselors, have kids or sometimes dogs – and everything in between!) yet come together in a unique, sometimes surreal sort of way, and I love, love it!

On that note, L and I really wanted to get to the Chictopia conference this month to meet all of you guys who have decided to go (we’re looking at you, Christina @ Second Skin, Coco from Our Paper Moon and Tieka from Selective Potential!) – but unfortunately procrastination, jobs and other crazy life things have gotten in the way.  Sigh.  Maybe September?!

Aw, crap, it’s snowing again.

xo, M

    Oooo I REALLY love this look! The purple and the scarf play off of each other perfectly! And it’s all fun and whimsical but still looks neat, I think. Very cool.

  2. amen on the blog community! such an awesome and interesting group of women.
    i’m jealous you’re getting snow, because it’s still pretty dry here. and i am loving the inventive outerwear layering going on in this ensemble.

    I love this faux fur on you! It looks gorgeous!

  5. I love how you put the vest over your jacket. This is such a fabulous look!

  6. I wanted to go too but I’m getting Lasik that week, damnit! I really would be fantastic experience, but I had to chose boring eyesight. Loving your layers, btw. The muted colors are a kind of refreshing mix on fur.
