Photo Diary | Snow Storm Jonas

Y'ALL. Y'ALLLLLLLLL. THERE WAS A BLIZZARD AND I AM STILL ALIVE. 

Enough with the all caps, Jonas was no joke. With over two feet of snow in a day the fact that I still have all my fingers and toes is a miracle. I may have looked like a total idiot running around in the snow being stupidly happy and in awe and wonder but snow is so damn pretty. The park was absolutely covered and I took full advantage by making a snowman and having a massive snowball fight. I know that the rest of winter is gonna suck, and this winter is probably going to be brutal and long, but at least my first experience with snow was one filled with overwhelming delight and happiness– and I'm fully aware of how cheesy that sounds but being in a blizzard is truly a beautiful thing.

Am I Doing This Right?

For the longest time I thought that those puffer vests that you see all over Pinterest were a scam. There is no way someone can wear a puffer vest over a long sleeve and be all warm and cozy, right? Wrong. Very very wrong. This vest is easily one of my best fall/winter purchases because it does a great job at keeping your core body heat. I wore this while exploring the Lower East Side and walking along the river but I still ended up wearing my J.Crew factory Field Jacket over this because my long sleeve shirt, although it's thick, was not enough to keep out the pretty strong winds by the water. 

It's surprisingly still "warm" here in NYC but I've definitely noticed that there's some key players in my wardrobe that I would wear everyday if I could, and this vest as well as this shirt are a few of those players.
