____Ah, what a fine day it is! School was canceled due to the icy roads. As you can see, we didn't really get any snow.. more like a layer of ice that killed everything that was once living. Saw some dead fish in the lake behind as I was taking these pictures with Sir Samuel (my camera) and Jean Bob (ye old trusty tripod, for those of you who are unfamiliar what these odd yet eloquent names are). But not all was dead! Charles the swan (I didn't name him, that's actually his name, he is the neighborhood swan) swam up behind me while I was taking these. I got down on my knees and said hello to him and he swam up to me, hissed at me, puffed his feathers up, and then swam off. He's such a tease, that Charles. I even managed to make a gif of our meeting, which I don't know how to put onto the blog, so here.
____This is the new amazing jacket I got for Christmas. I didn't even get cold wearing it outside, plus it's super comfy! I was afraid that it would be too boxy since it looked to be so on a hanger, but now that I see the pictures, I am liking it more than ever and wondering why I ever thought such a silly thought.
____What do you guys like to do on cold days? Me likes playing the Sims. Seriously, I haven't stopped playing that game ever since I got re-addicted to it over winter break.
Jacket: Christmas pressie
Tights: probably Walmart

I love your ear muffs! Adorable! I wish it got cold enough here in Florida to wear them.
Thanks for your comment.
Lovely pictures, I adore your coat.
I've been catching up on DVDs this week end all snuggled up warm with pop corn and hot chocolate.
Love that great jacket! It's fantastic.
Beautiful pictures, as always! And stay warm!
I'm absolutely in love with your Christmas present...and your ear muffs. Hope the snow melts soon. It's pretty, but a mess to get around in.
At first, I thought: Princess Leia hairstyle, cool! Then I realized they were muffs. :P I love reading your posts, Ali. I always laugh. Charles the Swan, got to meet him!
adorable outfit! love the coat and the boots paired together. :) i'm not going to risk playing the sims! i know i'll get addicted again!

i'm holding my first ever giveaway - a cute 60s vintage purse! so if you have a minute, i'd love for you to stop by and take a look! ♥
AH WHATTTTTTTTTT?! I'm SO SO SO SO SO JEALOUS YOU GOT A SNOW DAY. WHAT A PERFECT MONDAY MORNING SURPRISE> AHHHHH.
Okay. Chilllll, Lexy. (my justification is that we havent had a snow day in three years. THREE YEARS. So much for going to a school in rural ontario, efffff.)
Anyways, you look so FIERCE. I Love the jacket. It very much ressembles and jigsaw puzzle. Me likeee.
And that gif is beyond awesome. I think I will go to bed just STARING at it. (Not that I'm a creeper, pshh.)

I love the new coat! When I was in highschool I spent all my free moments playing Final Fantasy (which is way so much better than sims)
(okay fine, I've never played sims so I don't know if its fun or not).
It's fun how you've got a neighborhood swan, and i think they are all the same; they look all sweet and elegant and then they start to hiss and peck at you. damn swans.
And Sir Samuel and Desmond can totally be besties. Maybe they could be penpals.
Great coat, I love all the buttons!~ :D
thanks for your sweet comment. i like the shape and collar of your coat, and the clever concept of your blog title. definitely following you now! on cold days, i like to curl up in bed and re-read harry potter :)
That coat is the COOLEST. I love it! On cold days, I usually watch crime dramas alllll day and try (read fail) to not eat all the baked goods in my house.
Your coat is really interesting. I like that the buttons are kind of off center. I also really like the setting of your photos. Kind of perfect even on a grey day!

You look pretty, I like your coat!
That coat is pretty fabulous :)
Cute! I enjoyed watching your adventure with the swan. I didn't know swans were angry like that. Good to know!
Ahh, the Sims. Yes. I know that game well. I played it SO much last spring...and then I stopped. But I know I could easily become re-addicted too if I wanted to. Which I don't. Because it would totally eat up all of my free time.
Thanks for your comment! I enjoyed reading that you too have gotten attached to make-up before. I don't understand it at all, but of course I can relate!
loving the ear muffs
gosh, the snow and that lake makes for such a great scenery! lol
great post!

"Me likes playing the Sims. Seriously, I haven't stopped playing that game ever since I got re-addicted to it over winter break." YOU. NAILED. IT. God, I love the Sims.
And yes, I adore your coat.. not boxy at all! The gif couldn't open. :(
Although it looks really cold, the frozen lake makes a pretty backdrop for your coat. Loving the military vibe of it.
LOVELY COAT!!
