How to dress when it’s COLD AF

admin — Thu, 14 Jan 2016 13:00:55 +0000

After some unusually favorable December days here in DC (which I am not complaining about) January has come to show it’s frigid face. I was hoping that mother nature would be kind and let us get away with a mild winter with more intermittent 70 degree days but it seems that my wish will not be granted, not this year at least. While I grew up in Northern Virginia experiencing all four seasons, I’m still not a huge fan of the cold temperatures my home state brings each winter. I would much prefer to get dressed for a scorching hot 90 degree day than I do when its freezing out. In the winter, I usually gravitate towards wearing whatever will keep me comfortable and warm. Sometimes that means I wear my sweats all day long (don’t judge) and on days when I need to leave the house; it’s jeans, a comfy sweater and a big jacket to throw over top. I’m a sucker for outfits that take hardly any thought in the winter because who has time to try on 6 outfits that are perfectly layered and planned out anyway?

Pumpkin Decorating + Boozy Milkshakes

Halloween has long been a favorite holiday of ours. Dressing up in costume mixed with unlimited amounts of candy and favorable weather are a few of the things that get us excited about this time of year. Since we already have our costumes picked out and ready to go, the only thing missing were the pumpkins! So we threw together a little pumpkin decorating party at Natasha’s house where we made a boozy milkshake and put your creativity to the test. There are so many options when it comes to pumpkin decorating, whether it be carving, painting, using glitter and ribbons or even adding funky accessories to dress them up, the options are really endless. There is no wrong way to decorate a pumpkin, sometimes they turn out silly and other times they turn out to be a work of art but all that really matters in the end is that you enjoy the process. What goes better with pumpkin decorating than booze?? We are pretty sure it helps with the creative process as well. We crafted up a boozy milkshake that we enjoyed while we got our hands dirty. Here is the recipe we used: 2 cups pumpkin flavored ice cream […]
