Cold Combat Outfit

GUYS. A BLIZZARD IS COMING. 

Well, I guess by the time this is published, it will be in the middle of a blizzard. 

Even though I was born and raised in New England, I hate the cold.

You have no idea how much I hate the cold. 

But I really do. With a passion.

It doesn't help that it takes me 15 minutes to walk across campus to get to class. 

Thus, I have given up style when I go outside during the cold winter months.

I go in something that makes me comfortable and the winter cold bearable.

Of course, I do try to choose the most stylish things possible, but you know... winter coats ain't that cute, but hey! At least I'm mildly warm and comfortable ;) 

Winter Essentials by classicloving featuring round scarves

The North Face north face coat / Kate Spade bow glove / Trouvé round scarve / ASOS pom hat / Starbucks' UK coffee will be strongest yet, $78,305 / Frye Lindsay Plate

1. North Face Puffer Coat: Now, they make you look like a snowman, but they're warm. It's heavenly in the negative weather! I try not to wear the puffer every year until January (because when I get used to it during the warmer months ie December, when it gets frigid in January, I won't feel as warm), but I love it. 

2. Infinity Scarves: I always wear some kind of scarf in the cold, but lately, I've been in love with the infinity scarf ever since I got one for Christmas. For some odd reason, I find them so much warmer. 

3. Hat: I didn't wear hats until last year- but they're so important! They keep your head warm which keeps me warm. When it covers your ears, you are golden. 

4. Riding Boots: I have recently taken to non-zip up boots for the winter because they're just easier to put on -- one less thing to be disgruntled about when you're not happy to go outside into the cold! Riding boots are more warm in general, so in the winter, I just wear a variety of my riding boots. 

5. Gloves: Necessity- enough said. I'm looking to get the tech-ok gloves so I can text etc. in the cold too. 

6. iPhone/iPod: I like to listen to music to get my mind off of the cold! 

7. Hot drink/Coffee: It keeps my hand warm! And it makes me happy :)

New Year's Eve Dresses

2013 is fast approaching, and 2012 is fast leaving!

Can you believe it? It has been such a fast year!

I know that everyone has some awesome, awesome NYE plans, and a lot will require dressing up, so I picked out a couple of NYE-worthy dresses. 

New Year's Eve Dresses by classicloving featuring a a line dress

Lilly Pulitzer dress/ Alice + Olivia a line dress, $785 / Kate Spade long sleeve dress / Dress / Zara cutout dress / ASOS dress / Paprika sequin party dress

I think NYE is the one time that sparkles are this in. 

And I'm okay with hopping onto that train because they're just too perfect for the occasion!

I've always wanted to ring in the new year with friends at a bar etc., but at my parents' homeland, they do family style (like Christmas here) so my family has always had family new years via tradition. 

However, this year it'll be a little different because the boyfriend will be visiting me -I'm so excited for my New Years Kiss :) 

Enjoy your evening, ladies and gents!
