Soft White Flowers Perished Before They Touch The Ground

As you can tell from these pictures our home recently turned into a winter wonderland; these pictures were actually taken fairly early in the day and the snow just kept coming down. Getting my camera to focus while it was snowing was difficult, so I recruited my father to help me during his lunch break. They were taken just in front of my house and I intend to stay at my house until this snow starts melting away!
I've been collecting various wintry accessories, so I was somewhat prepared for all the snow. One of my favorite new pieces are these extra long wool gloves (with little stud detail!) by Michael Kors which I purchased with a gift card provided by StyleFind. I've only visited a couple of times, but StyleFind is a dangerous place. Upon browsing I find myself convinced that I need to acquire so many different sparkly things! The gloves were more practical though and they keep my fingers and arms past the elbow warm and cozy.

1. Your hair looks really pretty.
2. That umbrella is awesome.
3. Grr snow. It's pretty but I'm angry at it right now, since a snow day postponed my winter break and ruined my end-of-semester party plans. But. It's still pretty. :)

Nothing sweeter than a beautiful girl wearing beautiful things in magical weather.

Too bad snow is so cold. It looks so charming, floating down.

Great gloves. Practical and stylish.

The bright color of the hat makes for a great mood. I'm not sure I can handle snow, I'm too cold blooded but you make it look fun. Ah, and the umbrella, very fun, and something I can use in my sodden Sacramento. Happy Holidays to you and yours! xo. Bella Q

Those gloves are amazing! I really love the heart-hand photo. So cute.

Jyoti said...

I love the studs on the gloves! I love it when practical things have a little extra detail on them.

But I'm pretty sure I love the umbrella more.

Kassie said...

You're gloves are gorgeous. Not to mention that I'm madly in love with your umbrella.
I've never been on stylefind until right now and I totally see what you mean about it being dangerous.

Aw Rebecca, so pretty! The gloves are a godsend. <3

L said...

Love the snowy day outfit; i still need to get out there and take some pictures. I love how you can take some of the same articles of the clothing and make them into something completely different. That is a skill that I could really use. Happy snow day!

You look awful cozy! The gloves are great. I was kind of taken by surprise when we got hit by a snowstorm here back in November and wore huge sweaters every day. You know how unusual intense snow is in Western Washington. This was crazy!

northwest is best said...

Cute outfit! And another appearance of your delightful ruffled dress. How did you find walking in snow wearing wedges? I'm finding that flat shoes make my feet cold because they're too close to the pavement. That's my theory, anyway.
