must-haves (for winter.)

being snowed in makes for quite the lazy day. my roommates and i played in the snow this morning and built a big snowman. i decorated his face with m&m's and a celery stick for a nose. he turned out to be quite colorful and well, abstract. all those days of doing arts&crafts have paid off.

since i have been unable to leave the house, i have been reading all day, hot cocoa in hand. i finally had the time to read the "Teen Vogue Handbook" which is filled with knowledge and beautiful photographs. Any one who is interested in getting into the fashion industry (designing, public relations, marketing, you name it!) i definitely suggest this book! editors and other big industry names give tips on how to break in.

since it has been so chilly and snowy here, i have been able to dig up the winter accessories! i finally put my juicy couture mittens and earmuffs to good use, along with my new erin fetherston coat. these three items are my definite must-haves for this long season of icicles and snow.

what are you winter must-haves?

only good days.

winter break has only made me jones for those long, warm summer days. the roads have been dusted with white powder and the icicles are growing longer each day. if it were up to me, i'd exchange the white powder for summer rain and the icicles to popcicles. i suppose only in time.

i have even been playing my favorite songs that remind me of my dearest summer memories. my heart grows warm just thinking about those four warm months of bliss. i love listening to an album that directs me to a time when the living was easy and carefree.

here are a few of my favorite summer albums:

1. vampire weekend (self titled)

2. jack's mannequin "everything in transit"

3. ben kweller "sha sha"

4. the format "dog problems"

5. grizzly bear "veckatimest"

6. phantom planet "raise the dead"

7. manchester orchestra "mean everything to nothing"

the decemberists, andrew bird and justice mix in quite well also.

what are your favorite summer songs & albums?
