AN ODE TO SNOW DAYS

i've only experienced five no-school snowdays in my lifetime. now, depending on where you live, it's alot, or it could be a little. i'm actually sitting at the computer writing this right now during a snowday. there's something about them that makes the ickiness of winter drift away. during superbowl sunday yesterday, we were hit with tons of snow and wind, and we decided to make a day of it by snapping some pictures and making a video. 

it kept on coming down for hours. big, white flakes that stuck perfectly. the georgelos' came over and the kids built a fort like no other. they had me send it in to brandt miller to try and get it on the news!

it only took them about an hour and a half to collect garbage cans, snow molds, and buckets and build this thing to the sky. they even added an american flag from probably our basement but who knows.










the whole street was layered in flakes, an it made for the perfect wintery background.

 




here's the little film we made! press play below.

glasses: warby parker / scarf: american eagle / jacket: toms for target / socks: american eagle / boots: sorrel (last winter)

and all these flurries resulted in an actual no-school snow day! i'll add this one to my tally. 6 snow days total. -m

AN ODE TO FALL

i've always loved fall mornings. waking up and walking to starbucks, having a warm drink in your hand, and just soaking in the day. it's the weekend, schools out, and the sky is clear. one of my favorite places to go in the fall is our local forest preserve. it's shady, so the temperature is perfect for sweaters, long-sleeves, and cardigans. and when eshakti contacted/asked me to pick out a piece from their collection and talk about my fall style, i agreed right away! i chose a navy blue tunic with black embroidering. when i got it in the mail i fell in love. i knew i had to show off eshakti's beautiful piece, and i knew just the place to do it.

 my brother sam. this has got to be my absolute favorite picture of him.

 the first of three feet shots. the leaves were the perfect colors.

feet shot 2/3.

 testing out the new instax birthday gift.

 a closer look at the detailing on the tunic.

the leaves displayed the most amazing colors.

the final feet shot my friends, we made it.

don't be fooled by that smiling face - we were stranded in a parking lot because i drove against a curb and popped a tire. yea.

tunic: eshakti (c/o), jeans: american eagle, kicks: american eagle, neaklace: nordstrom, sunnies: urban outfitters
