Snowy Day In Jersey

Keara wakes me up this morning saying "Mama, look outside! You have to come look!" ...I mumble a question of whether or not there is snow...and what do ya know? She says YES. It's my only day off in a week and all I get is one.I keep looking out the window or go back to bed because I'm resting my eyes for a few more minutes. Years ago I remember moving to Arizona just to get away from the cold. And hey I'm back - well made it through Utah too after Arizona. So I should be used to it right? I absolutely LOVE LOVE New York City! I absolutely cannot be okay with cold weather. My nose runs, my ears start to hurt and I just feel angry and miserable. Like the Grinch. Haha! So since I can't go anywhere today... ( usually I like to go shop or go have lunch somewhere different on my days off, or go to the bookstore and have coffee) ....not happening today. I'm stuck here. In middle of nowhere away from the rest of the world....so how to make the best of it?

First up a big ol' yummy comforting breakfast :)

Sunny side up eggs, and pastrami...but wait my friend gave me some biscuits she made before she left for her christmas vacation home...so we attempt our first ever biscuits and gravy! www.allrecipes.com is the greatest place to go for new recipes, and usually there is an easy one. They all seemed to have sausage in them...which I only have italian sausage. I wonder how that would taste? Maybe I should try it? Not today. It was surprisingly easy! And outstanding too! I feel the need to use the word Outstanding since I have to use it at work all the time..whats a day without the word Outstanding lol..really....

So now that I have had the breakfast of Champions and have my big cup of coffee I'm good to go. I can now relax and search etsy for some more mod dresses, boots, and other various items that I need to have. Okay maybe not need.......but really really want! I think I should find a job at a vintage store...not Macy's.

Obsessing over Vintage

So I've been just looking up Edie Sedgwick and Twiggy and I'm starting to fall in love with the 60's. I guess I have always wanted clothes from each decade starting with the 20's and even liking the 70's and 80's.

So I have been searching for mod dresses on etsy and I have found a few that I absolutely just want to buy! But of course it's not even christmas yet and I still have shopping to do! I just will imagine myself wearing them and maybe even find some other's after the holiday.

I think I could wear all these dresses with some of my black boots....
