scarves

In my opinion, scarves are the perfect fall/winter accessory. They can add so much to an outfit, and come in so many fun colors and patterns. Currently, it's freezing in the southland, so I've brought out the winter wear in full force. (And spent lots of time inside. I don't like the cold.)

and now a little tutorial if you want to tie your scarf like mine:

1 :: fold your scarf in half and put it around the back of 

your neck with the loop on one side

2 :: put one of the ends through the loop

3 :: twist the loop once

4 :: put the other end of the scarf through the loop

5 :: adjust it so it will lie flat

christmas in dixie

No snow in these parts. 

It feels like Spring outside. 

And it is oh, so lovely.

i'll just keep it to myself in the sun, in the sun.

Does anyone else think the white coke cans are the best ever? 

Those polar bears are all kinds of adorable.

Was reading through some old (read: ancient) blog posts and ran across some links on one of my musings to some pretty amazing things that happened in my life (read: happened Winter semester 2009). Those few months were perhaps the most magical time that has ever happened in the history of the world. Seriously. We're not sure how we passed our classes, or why we did what we did, 

but we know one thing for sure: it was magic.

Anyone remember this?

Or how about this?

Remember when we listened to this on repeat? And this one too?

And we cannot ever forget the awesomeness that was ten at ten.

It will forever top the list of everything that is awesome.

From no boys allowed forts and adventures in the wee morning hours of finals week to the best friends a girl could ask for, it.was.the.best. 

*in honor of the jai ho lap, of course, because who could forget that magic?

merry christmas from dixie.

no snow.

It was so cold today that I listened to Christmas music at lunch. It just felt like Christmas outside. And later, when driving to pick up my husband from work, I saw a car that had snow all over it. Yes, snow. It's not even Halloween yet. And then I thought: we're moving. no more snow. 

hooray for south carolina. the end.
