Snow Falling on Pines

Yesterday it snowed all day and today the blanket covering everything was so pretty I had to go outside and tromp through it.  After being inside the past week catching up on work, Netflix (Limitless, Valley of the Dolls, All About Eve, and Twin Peaks), books (The Help, Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy) and recipe experiments (thanks, Ina) it was fun to experience the Great White North.  

When I came outside in this super warm vintage faux fur coat, my sister pointed out that one of her new kittens (a sweet little calico just like mine in L.A.) matched it perfectly.  Obviously, she was too cute to not bring along with us when we went to shoot these photos.  

My favorite thing about this outfit is how insanely warm I was while still wearing a skirt and cute jacket. Snowboarding is officially the only excuse for puff jackets and long johns.  The trick to staying well-heated is to get some extra thick tights, then inside of your (waterproof) boots, wear some thick socks too.  My nail color was inspired by the icy blue colors outside my window and is my own mix. 

Your Golden Girl,
