Winter Wonderland

Well, it is definitely winter outside! Today, we were supposed to get bad weather in New York City, but I definitely wasn't expecting snow! We got about five or six inches today. Going to my class this morning, it was a drizzling a little bit outside, but was I surprised to see snow when I came out of class! It was absolutely freezing and I was not dressed for the occasion. Later today when meeting a sister from my sorority for dinner, I decided it was time to break in the winter jacket for the first time this year! Here's a little idea of what to wear when caught in a snow storm:

I hope everyone who got snowed in today is ok! Some people still don't have power because of Sandy! They're all in my prayers. xo

Rainy Days

So, Hurricane Sandy is heading on up to the North tomorrow. Which means school is canceled for me! Even though I'm thrilled that I don't have to take my Management exam tomorrow, I'm not gonna be happy about having to stay in my dorm for a couple of days. However, for those who do decide to go out in the midst of a hurricane or rainy weather, here are my top choices on how to be prepared for the weather and still look cute at the same time:

Monogramed Raincoat: Raincoats are really helpful when dealing with heavy weather. You don't have to worry about getting what you're wearing wet. Also, who doesn't love monograms?! Jazzing up a raincoat can definitely make it worth your while going into the rain. I have my Theta Phi Alpha raincoat that I wear all the time. They're nice and comfy and keep you warm too!

Cute Umbrella: Bubble umbrellas are a big fashion statement around my campus. While they might be a pain in the butt to carry about all the time, it is so worth it. They are big so it covers all of your body, plus you could fit a friend or two under them as well!

Leggings: One thing I hate about the rain, is when you're wearing jeans how soggy and heavy they get. Leggings are perfect for the rain because they're light and thin. I definitely recommend getting a cheap pair from a local store. It's ok if they get really wet because you can just hang them up and they'll dry particularly quickly.

Rainboots: I've become obsessed with rainboots recently. They're so fun, and when you get some with a cute pattern or color, it makes it even more fun to wear them. Hunter rain boots are a must for this season. I especially love this pair because the socks make the boots stand out.

I hope everyone stays safe these next couple of days! I know I'm ordering a ton of Chinese food tonight to last me until Tuesday!
