The other day I was running a little late for work. I really needed a shower so even though I knew I would be cutting it close, I took one anyway. Since it has been snowing the past several days and I don't have covered parking for my car (bummer) my car was covered in ice from the past two weeks that we have been out of town. I didn't grow up in the snow so using the ice pick thing to clean my car 1. takes me forever. 2. makes me really cold. 3. I simply just hate hate hate doing it... so since we only live a couple blocks from campus I decided to walk (I usually do walk since it is so close, it is only when I am running late that I want to drive.) After living in Utah the past several years one would think I would have this winter thing down. But as I am hustling to get to work, I noticed something funny when I went to move some hair out of my face... um my hair felt hard? That is strange. After examining it a little longer, I realized that my hair had divided themselves into little strands, very much like icicles might I add, and had frozen. frozen. I should have known better... but I have come to the conclusion that if I haven't learned anything the past almost four years of living in this state, I never will.
I guess I am just a true San Diego girl through and through!
P.S. You guys are hilarious. I loved all the comments about Mexican Train. I had to add that we all get pretty into it as well! There have been some pretty heated games of Mexican Train haha :)
I love this look! The tights, the coat everything!! So cute!!
ReplyDeleteYou are gorgeous. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteP.S. If it makes you feel better I don't handle this winter stuff very well either haha. I know St George has WAY worse winters compared to San Diego..but up here..I may freeze to DEATH :)
Love the pictures. Love the outfit!! I'm dying over the coat. Perfect
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit and the yellow coat! Don't feel bad, I have lived in Michigan my whole life and have had my hair freeze on numerous occasions!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a sweet outfit:) Your coat is fantastic:) Kisses,sweetie
ReplyDeleteps: I am hosting a sweet necklace GIVEAWAY today :) ... Please, join in!
You're totally cute and lovely.
ReplyDelete=)
p.s. thanks for the kind words on my blog...you're too kind.
My hair has turned to icicles before. I think it's fun. :)
ReplyDeletep.s. I LOVE San Diego! I was born there...but I grew up mostly in Big Bear Lake, so I'm used to snow, but living in Michigan is much, MUCH colder! I miss being able to drive to the beach though...every.day.of.my.life!
ReplyDeleteYou looks so pretty! The yellow jacket is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI get icicle hair all the time. Even though I don't shower before. It's horrible - I'm afraid to touch it in case it "breaks". Haha
Oh my gosh, you are simply adorable! yeah the first time I'd discovered frozen hair was my freshman year...after indoor swimming...yikes
ReplyDeletetotally jealous of your outfit :)
ReplyDeletelol I remember going hot tubbin at bear lake in the winter and when we would walk back to the condo by the time we got back our hair was ice!
you have such a stinkin' cute outfit on.... love it!
ReplyDeleteI can relate to you as well, I am from Georgia but have been living in Michigan for 4 years now. I hate scraping off my car (thank goodness for remote start!) and I have had my hair freeze too!
ah, the joys of winter...
Cute outfit!!! When I lived in Canada, I used to walk to school with wet hair, not smart, I know, and it would freeze. It's the craziest thing, isn't it?
ReplyDeletethese photos are adorable and you look gorgeous!
ReplyDelete~Andrea
aahaha. haircicles. i went out with wet hair a few weeks ago and my friend said, "Brissa, please put your hair up, I don't want your hair to freeze." It almost did.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm in love with your coat and thawed out hair. SO cute.
Hair icicles bring back memories of my high school bus stop haha
ReplyDeleteby the way your outfit is SUPER CUTE!
The same thing happened to me my first winter in New York. It's a lesson I will never forget. Love that outfit!
ReplyDeleteI totally love the entire outfit! Hat, Coat, Boots...everything!
ReplyDeleteI grew up on the east coast where is was cold and snowy. Now that I live near San Diego...I don't miss the cold ONE BIT! and I hated getting all the snow off my car in the mornings too, I always made my brothers do it haha
ReplyDeletepretty pictures!! i love those tights!
ReplyDeleteFor a girl that is not used to snow...you sure do know how to dress it up for the snow! You looked gorgeous and I am in LOVE with how you paired the purple tights with the mustard yellow peacoat. Too cute!
ReplyDeleteYou are wearing my two favorite colors! Yellow and white- I love how you are wearing them in the winter, up against the snow, it looks so pretty. (Usually people say to wear only dark colors.. but what if you do love white!)
ReplyDeleteAnd your hair is soo pretty, I'm so jealous!
♥
Thank you for your comment, I say we go back in time, too!
james will scrape my car for me- he's so nice! but i grew up in the cold, and HE grew up in Africa! haha. a little backwards... but i'm not complaining ;) ha.
ReplyDeletesuch cute pictures!!! I wish we got snow in Texas but I'd probably be such a wimp about it that it wouldn't matter anyways :)
ReplyDeleteStop! You make the snow look gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGo outside take a deep breath (through your nose) and see if your nose hairs freeze. Sick huh? That's when you know it's way too cold outside :D
Thanks for your comment. Made my day!

Your blog is super cute and I am excited to see your updates
ReplyDeleteI really like this outfit a lot...but I am always a fan of yellow!
Don't freeze in Utah (I feel like I just might sometimes haha).
Thanks for stopping by my blog! Yours is absolutely darling! I'm originally from Michigan and can recall many a mornings with icicle hair. Don't catch a cold!!
ReplyDelete1- I need that coat.
ReplyDelete2 - I was in the mountains this weekend and we decided to take a dip in the hot tub (because really, why wouldn't you?) and my hair froze! I was so warm I didn't even remember how cold it was outside until I felt my hair!
3 - Cold is lame. But your outfit is the opposite. Way to go for trekking through the frigid weather!
wow you have one lucky husband!! you cook, bake, and are just plain cute lol. i'm a noob to your blog and i love your blog :)
ReplyDeletelove this outfit
ReplyDeleteyou. are. gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteummm hello! you look gorgeous! I love that you exprienced hair icicles--a part of my current every day life! With curly hair, if I want it to look good, I have to do my hair in the am--which means icicles from November to March.
ReplyDeleteSo happy you found my blog--I'm now your newest follower :) and wouldn't it be great if the "art of messy" applied OUTSIDE of bookshelves??
xoxo {av}
Those tights are pretty awesome. And icicles in your hair?? I would say something like "thank goodness I live in SC" but I've been snowed in for the past three days...
ReplyDeleteyou're so beautiful! can't believe your hair had frozen! that has never happened to me. your clothes are sooo cute and make me miss my normal clothes more than ever. i think the thing i miss the most are all my tights. they just dont make cute ones in maternity. lame.
ReplyDeleteScrapping your car in the morning is THE worst and is so time consuming! Its like I have to get up an hour early just to do it hehe. Love the tights!!
ReplyDeleteXOXO.

ReplyDeleteThankfully the frozen hair thing has never happened to me - even though plenty of friends have had the pleasure! TIP: When it's very cold - blow dry before you leave the house!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful jacket, loving the colour! Thanks for stopping by my blog! :)

ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog, I always love making new bloggy friends! Okay. Can I just say that I love your peacoat? I am obsessed with peacoats and this one is just so fun! Too bad I love in Arizona where it is too hot to wear any coats. Dumb.
ReplyDeleteYour outfit is to-die-for!!! LOVE IT! Miss you :) You need to teach me your fashion tricks... and dress me for any dates I may have this lifetime. Haha.
ReplyDeleteYou look so adorable!
ReplyDelete:D :D
You arise beauteous in the horizon of the heavens
ReplyDeleteOh living Aten who creates life.
When you shine forth in the Eastern horizon you fill every land with your beauty.
You are so beautiful: you are great; gleaming and high over every land.
Your rays embrace the lands and all you have created;
You are Re and reach out to all your creations, and hold them for your beloved Son.
You are afar, but your rays touch the earth;
Men see you, but know not your ways
thanks...sweet baby!
You are SO darling! That outfit is SO me... Thank you for sharing! The coat and tights are my fav!
ReplyDeleteThank you for following my blog :)
Definitely following you back.
