Snow and squirrels



The snow has finally started to pile up on our doorstep. The outside world is coated in white and boasts a brisk wind. I've been snow-gazing from the warm interior, sitting by the wood stove and drinking tea. Here's an activity appropriate Polyvore to share:

Yes, friends, that is a squirrel cardigan and that is an acorn-print dress! You don't know how much they begin to excite me. Okay, well maybe my sister does (Hi Sister!) and Erin does (Hi Erin!). Ooh ooh, and wearing them together? It's perfection! If I had an extra $708 lying around that entire outfit would be mine. But, alas. A girl can dream!

Tell me, what are you doing to stay warm in the wintry weather? Or if you're in the Southern Hemisphere, what are you doing for fun out in the sun?

$708? Yikes! Although my outfit dreams are not much more sensible these days! Regardless, it's a completely excellent oufit, especially with the Yorkshire tea (no sign of it in London, unfotunately).

It looks like you guys have crazy amounts of snow. Ours is all melted, at least in the city, and I kind of miss it, but not the constant threat of airport closures!

Wow, looks like there is lots of snow everywhere! We on the other hand have rain and humidity - not so good for the hair.

And so sorry for being a bad bloggy commenter, hopefully things are back to normal now :)

I'm jealous of your snow there, the temperatures went higher now and it's been rainy and windy everyday... Which I hate because my dresses/skirts fly and I get raindrops on my glasses!

About the set, I love it! I have also a friend who loves squirrels and putting together a squirrel cardigan with a acorn dress would make her ecstatic as well haha! Though the price is not very attractive... And the booties! I've bought the black ones because I found them prettier but I've seen many bloggers wearing the brown ones, I also think they're very you :) You can go to my tumblr, I posted 2 I guess.

gosh that's a huge chunk of snow! I'm a tad jealous because I wish I could see beautiful snow right now too, but I don't think I could stand the cold, haha!
It's supposed to be summer here in Melbourne and the rest of Australia, but lately it's been raining A LOT - which is very strange, but I like that the cooler days still gives me an excuse to wear tights and cardigans even in the summer. Speaking of cardigans, that squirrel one is so cute!

My gosh I am soooo wanting snow! I'm quite stuck in the Caribbean right now and it's rainy season, so it's all wet and hot at the same time. I need a dose of coats and hot chocolate, lol.

That acorn dress makes my frozen heart melt. Just as cold here in the UK. I've been hiding under the covers with my lap top and tea. brrrr. Great collage.

Eee! Just look at all your glorious snow! I hate winter and all, but I still want some. It's freezing cold here without the benefit of a winter-white wonderland, and I feel cheated! Wanna share? ;)

I love this outfit you've created! But $708? Hoo boy! Let me guess, pieces from Anthropologie? Those pricey jerks. :P Meant to tell you I finally nabbed the Southward Stop dress (thank you, eBay!). And eBay has that one squirrel cardigan I showed you. ^.^ Ah, sweet temptation...

Layers! Layers! Layers! Oh, and heeps of tea! I haven't tried Yorkshire tea myself - I'm pretty partial to Lyons tea which is Irish and sold in pyramid shaped teabags (sounds insane but the boiling water permeates through the bags more easily and the tea steeps quickly). Keep warm it's cold out there!

Well now I know where to buy Yorkshire tea! On their website if nowhere else! That will be my first stop after Christmas. Such a cute little bag too... hmmm and idea is "brewing." ; D

Jan said...

Haha! I've been the guilty party dancing my socks off to "We Are Family" (perhaps after one too many sherries) at many a fest but I don't think it was on our wedding playlist. Thanks for your entry!

Louise said...

I was so excited when I saw that squirrel cardigan! Why must it be so spendy? Hmph. And why are the cutest clothes not knocked off by H&M? :-)

I've had that acorn dress on my wishlist for donkey's years *sigh* Now that would be too perfect with the squirrel cardi! I never knew that cardi existed. 'll take a while to get over this one ;)

Imogen said...

I love Ployvore and the dress and cardigan are adorable. It looks like you're getting a lot of snow. I'm loving the warm sunny weather at the moment.

jjulie79 said...

not bad outfit
I like this dress

Jan said...

Aw, you're too sweet. I have far too many Ferragamos. It's kind of an unhealthy addiction at this point :)

That squirrel print cardigan is an incredible find, Emily. I hope one day you get your hands on it.

Good choice of tea brand there!

With love from across the pond
