life in pictures: our ski trip!

Our much-anticipated ski trip was this weekend and we enjoyed every last (BITTER cold) second. I took my iPhone on the slopes with me so I could snap some pix and Instagram them! (@hellogorginsta) 

We also got to catch up with some friends over delicious dinner and drinks.  We ate too much, drank just enough, aaaaaaand I was asleep by 11:00 pm.  I actually fell asleep amidst a conversation back at our lodge.  As in, I was carrying on, apparently fell asleep, and woke up to find our friends gone for the night.  Oops!  
Hey--skiing takes it out of you! (And clearly I'm an old lady when it comes to my bed time.)

layer it--for Spring!

I have always been one of those girls who dresses for the weather.  Like, I really REALLY like to dress for the weather.  The main reason is that I cannot stand being uncomfortable.  I hate being stuck in a cold room shivering all day, or being stuck in sweltering heat in a stuffy outfit.  It makes me crabby, and that's no fun for anybody!

So, layers are my best friend in the Spring (and Fall, and Winter... and Summer!).  This morning it was 47 degrees when I left my house and 70 by the time I got out of work.  So, I decided to layer it up!  This way, I can add or remove pieces of clothing (wink wink) as needed.  My favorite pieces to layer are a big chunky sweater and a colorful scarf.

Are you a layer-er?  
What're your favorite things to layer?

what i wore: blanket scarves and crossbody bags.

Hello, Loves!  How's it going?

It's actually pretty chilly here, all of the sudden.  

But, no need to fear... blanket scarves are here!

H&M shirt, Forever21 blanket scarf/high-waisted shorts, tights/socks (various), Mossimo for Target crossbody bag,Target watch, Chinese Laundry Bosco boots

So warm, so cuddly, so all around magical!

And just when you thought this Fall's new trends couldn't get any better... you see a crossbody bag that just begs to go home with you, when you're taking a 'small' trip to Target.  

Oii vey!

So, tell me...

Have you tried a blanket scarf?  How do you wear yours?

What's your "it" bag this Fall?
