I don't have to work until next Wednesday!! Part of me is really excited about this, and then part of me is mourning because I won't be making any money. I gotta have money for presents!
I keep getting packages in the mail from my X-mas Etsy purchases. I have to say that I ADORE getting packages in the mail, even if they are presents for other people. Something about mail is just so great. Stuff is coming to you from another part of the world! It's so much more interesting to me than email and internet networking.
We haven't seen the sun or sky here in many days. It's been constantly foggy, which makes the world look like it's only black and white and grey. I really love it. The trees are all loaded down with frost. It's like a magical world. They remind me of Robert Frost's poem Birches. I've been meaning to go outside and take some pictures of the gorgeous scenery and trees, so this afternoon I grabbed my camera and a fur coat and tromped around to get some photos. I even encountered some moose tracks, and my mom said that there have been moose hanging around the house the past couple mornings.

Part of me is jealous of all that snow and part of my is happy that I live in the Bay Area. The snow is so pretty, but I am such a sissy when it comes to cold. Also, I adore that skirt
love the green/brown look so much!
I wish we had that much snow! When it snows here, it's definitaly not that much and most of the time it's when we're supposed to be studying for the exams 24/7.
You look lovely!
the boots are back <3 and my favourite christmas song? well, you can't beat frank sinatra singing jingle bells!
Beautiful pictures- great outfit! xxx Camillaa

I just wanted to say hi.
Oh, and you're not all tacky, by the way.

These are gorgeous pictures. I just can't believe how stunning it is there! Everything looks so peaceful and calm...something that Chicago definitely is not. Also, you look amazing.
so jealous of all your snow! you look adorable, and i love that skirt.
love your skirt, beautiful green. and I have your boots! they're my new favorites, I cannot seem to take them off
today its raining in DC, totally not festive, your photos make me homesick, even though I don't live in Alaska I miss the MN snow
Your photos are wonderful. It looks like a winter wonderland...and quite the contrast you with no coat.
I love the thought of wearing a dress as a shirt. And I love the color of that skirt.

Your photos are beautiful. We had some pretty snow come in but it was about 40 or so yesterday so most of it melted. This always depresses me. I love snow for Christmas and being in Chicago means it can be anywhere between 60 degrees to 20 below zero on Christmas. It is so inconsistent.
You look so cute in the pictures. you are so lucky to be getting snow, we just have rain! Love getting parcels too!

You are so brave to take coatless outfit shots outside! I don't even want to know what the temperature is there! I am such a baby in the cold weather!

I was attracted to the fabulous name of your blog, so I had to check it out! I love all your photos, and your outfit! Those tights are AMAZING.
And may I say, you have the most amazing mane of hair. It reminds me of a lion, but pretty. And I totally mean that in a good way! Like, can I have your hair?

You are seriously STUNNING in this...... I have no words for how fierce this look is!

What part of Alaska do you hail from? I used to live in Adak (former Navy child). Have a great day! - JoAnn, Sidewalk Chalk

I would cry if I woke up to a white Christmas like this.

Great snow pictures! I think the one of the cabin is my favorite. That's the best Christmas song ever!
Wow. Winter is serious where you live (and also so pretty!).
You look great!
xoxoxo
This skirt is beautiful!!! GOSH you live in Alaska right? Makes me want to move a couple thousand miles...
PS- I was just browsing your blog and read you are a barista.. me too! :) Fashion blogger baristas unite!
Oh I saw this on the chictopia homepage! Those pictures are so beautiful with the wnowy white backdrop. Adorable as always!
These photos are so gorgeous! It makes me pine for snow here in sunny Southern California. I love your green skirt--especially with those buttons!
I am in love with these photos! I think my favorite song is "stop the cavalry" because of the dubba-dubba-dub part...or maybe "burrito de belen" haha :)
It looks magical; like powdered sugar. Love the color of your skirt and those boots are so fun.
P.S. Yes, we're on Ford Island--so conveniently located!
I'm like a child when it comes to christmas season.. I can't get enough of carols and christmas cheer:)
Oh oh oh, I'm so incredibly jealous of your snowy surroundings! I wish I lived somewhere where it snowed over the holiday season! I live in New Zealand ha ha, which means its currently summer. Many people are jealous of this fact but I would absolutely adore a white christmas! And I love your skirt by the way. You wear it often but always mix it up :D
That skirt is AMAZING and that little shed with the lights on it reminds of Snoopy when he decks out his doghouse for Christmas!
these wintery photos are incredible ... you must've been cold but i commend your dedication to blogging.. .love the look
I'm a big fan of Stevie Wonder's "What Christmas Means to Me" and the Josh Groban version of "Little Drummer Boy."
