why is it still winter

Yes, these are S/S 2011 looks from Stylein, but I am SO bored with winter clothes that I'm hoping to draw some inspiration from S/S looks to get me through the next few months. This New York City weather isn't helping matters. I feel like I've been in boots, a parka, and an oversized scarf since December. Fashionable, no?

Back to these looks. If you didn't know.. black, tapered trousers and I are quietly having a thing. It's getting rather serious.

Off to search for a perfect pair...

Is it too early for Christmas music?

I know Christmas music isn't supposed to start until after Thanksgiving, but I'm feeling extra holiday-ish right now. Plus, I've noticed that after Thanksgiving I'm always too stressed about family gatherings and buying gifts to really enjoy the season! So, I'm going to start enjoying my Christmas music now.

Enjoy the playlist!
