whoa

Hey there,

Finally peeking out of my cave now that the temperature broke 30 degrees. We southern girls don't quite know how to handle the wintry conditions of the northeast but I'm happy to report that after five frigid winters, I'm surviving. This season I took a clue from the true locals & learned a thing or two about thermals,compression,down,etc,etc. The difference is unbelievable! Here are my two saviors until spring & a scarf I'm adding to my wish list to add a little color.

(BEST pair of shoes I've EVER owned!)

(so light but soooo warm!)

p.s. what's your toughest season? how do you survive?

  1. winter by far is the most rough- I'm a witness, Southern girls don't do well in the North! In Idaho I found out about snow boots (ha!) and bought a pair of Sorels- they're cute, khaki, grey, and blue argyle, and they're WARM. Not too difficult to move in, either. Thermals, wool/cotton tights, thick socks, blankets all over the house, and owning actual coats- not just a thicker jacket- also help. Stay warm, LPV!!
