Thursday, December 22nd, 2011I have a new girl crush…I’m in love with Zooey Deschanel’s vintage style and indie songstress croons. I’m thinking we could have a great time shopping flea markets together! Christmas albums aren’t my favorite things, but I think I could listen to her “A Very She and Him Christmas” all year long.
I just found out that she is co-founder of the blog, Hello Giggles and I can’t wait to start following! You’ve got to check out her great Top 10 Tips and Tricks for a Winter Body!
TOP 10 TIPS AND TRICKS FOR A WINTER BODY
by Zooey Deschanel
Ladies, winter is coming up and we have to get ready. With the equinox just 5 short months away, what does the modern woman need to do to get ready for sweater season?
1. Start practicing with your parka. Wear it around the house, to a barbeque or to the beach. When a dude says, “You look hot,” say, “Thank you, this jacket is certified to minus 60% below zero.” Then wink. You know what he means ladies, right? Right?
2. Try doing everyday stuff with mittens on. Like typing. Have fun! E.g. ahudfnjk;afbdjfbjkls093u84urahlu = happy holidays
3. Eat gingerbread willy-nilly. You’re welcome.
4. Q. It’s the holidays! Calories don’t count, right? A. Correct. You must adopt this attitude to successfully attain a winter steaze.
5. Fly some family members out to see you, preferably more than can fit in your apartment or house.Make them share towels. Watch the magic as it happens.
6. Rock some Christmas tunes at work. People will love this. No one loves ‘Holly Jolly Christmas’ more than your co-workers. Play it loud.
7. Time for pajamas! You sweat at night? Too bad! You have to suffer for a winter body.
8. Festive sweater time. Get comfy in your sweet Cosby with X-mas trees or a menorah. Let everyone know what’s up.
9. SPF 1 zillion. Do it.
10. If it doesn’t have a crust, don’t eat it. All the best winter meals start and end with pie. Embrace this, now.
Well that’s all I have. Attaining a winter body is a challenge, but with enough perseverance and ambition, you can do it. I know you can.
Now watch this sweet video and let me know if you think Zooey’s cool too…
Cold Feet
Tuesday, November 8th, 2011Today in Dallas it’s in the 70′s and humid…(insert sad face)…
I suppose it’s because I don’t live in a really cold area of the country but, about this time every year, I watch the weather closely hoping that there will be a cold front moving in.
Since snow is something that we see maybe once a year, I would never spend money on expensive cold weather boots. That’s why I love these adorable boots from Old Navy for less than $60!
Pretty cute, no?
Guys, we want you to look cute on those cold weather days, as well, so check out this great winter leather boot from Aldo for under $100!
Layer your socks, clothing and throw on a great scarf and you’re winter weather ready! Bring it on!
Do you love winter weather? What’s your favorite garment to wear when those North winds blow?
