i <3 ny in the wintertime.

phantomly oracula.

all this chilly weather has me really excited for bundling up with boots and big, fluffy coats.
today i walked past rockefeller center to see the ice rink all set up & people ice skating!
oh, it was so romantic!
i have never seen new york decorated for christmas - and i am so excited!
macy's has there lights up - and my local boulevard is about to be adorned with garland decorations.
even though thanksgiving hasn't come yet & it is obviously wayyyy to early to be thinking of this stuff, i can barely contain myself!
I HEART CHRISTMAS!

plus, i'm really, really excited to go back to wisconsin to visit & go hiking in the woods.
I HEART HIKING!

currently, i have been in the process of finding the perfect winter coat.
i'm diggin' this puffer coat from american eagle.



and here are a few boots i am absolutely mad over.




find 'em at the natural shoe store


and check out these mukluks - they're so fun!

i can't wait until i get a puppy so i can dress him up, too!

my weekend was gorgeous!

hello friends,

how was your weekend?!
wonderful, i hope.

as for justin & i,
we adventured around the city sunday afternoon
and took a few pictures to capture the moments.



















































i'll be honest - that graffiti in the subway -
yeah, that was my handy work!
obviously, i am obsessed with penguins.
