Happy February, friends!

wishing you a very joyous and fun february! i'm in the midst of being very annoyed with the weather and absolutely want the warmth to come back soon. the snow and cold is just way to much for me, especially up here in Syracuse. it's unlike anything i've ever experienced...even in Binghamton.

but...on a brighter note i think this is the first time in my 21 years that i'm actually excited for/liking valentine's day. though i still believe it's definitely 100% commercial and that you should show your loved ones how much you love them every day but i can deal with one day of over-the-top mushyness with roses, chocolate, and stuffed bears.

what i think we'd all really like to be doing right now.

the essentials of these past few days

the temperatures have been between 0 and 5 degrees these past 3 or 4 days (feeling less than 0) therefore thermals (from uniqlo), thick sweaters (from jcrew), and a little bit of trendy color to make the world go round, obviously..or at least this ice age weather not seem so ice-age-like (from h&m)

the amazing smell of dunkin donuts hazelnut coffee. it is just amazing and makes everything that much warmer.

the amazing taste of the coffee with french vanilla coffee creamer in the morning (the perfect start) and of course in my human touch (see post about it here) mug from my boy!

my amazing ugg snow boots. these have saved my feet and are now the everyday part of my ensembles. i can't complain. i owe and appreciate them :-*
