All Bundled Up, Nowhere to Go

These were some of my favorite shots that we took in Denver. While we were there, I was given the only opportunity that I'll have all Winter long to actually bust out a legit coat (although, I am a baby when it comes to the cold). This one in particular was a beautiful wool DKNY coat that my friend let me borrow just for the chilly occasion...lucky me. :)

The architecture in Denver was truly beautiful; there are so many state and capital buildings that it's almost like the Washington DC of the west coast. It was so interesting to me, because there really is nothing like that in Phoenix; there certainly is no shortage of beautiful architecture in Denver, which makes for great blog pictures.

I'm really excited for the month of December bc it's finally starting to get chilly and feel like the holidays. My classes are almost over (!!!), which means I'll have more time to devote to blogging, and I've officially almost finished all of my Christmas shopping. Now if only I could come up with a list of my own...any suggestions on what I should ask for?

What's on your Christmas list this year? I'd love to hear!

First Snow

When Daniel and I went to Denver a few weeks ago it snowed!! Being from Jersey (and him being from Vermont), we both grew up with snow every Winter, but haven't seen it in a few years due to living in FL & AZ. This was our first snow of the year. It was so magical to be able to experience it again...and then of course be able to get on a plane and not have to worry about shoveling (#amiright). 

Anyway, it was beautiful...and SO cold. Literally, about a 70 degree difference from what the weather was in Arizona. That being said, I ordered like 80 coats in preparation of the trip over a month ago, but as I currently write this post they STILL haven't shipped (UGH)-so I ended up buying this jacket last minute at Forever 21...and it's surprisingly warm, for a super great price. Couldn't pass it up!

In other news, Black Friday/Cyber Monday?! Has anyone scored any sweet deals (like my jacket)? Leave a comment and let me know!
