Fashion in the Snow

Somehow, keeping my toes and fingers warm has overshadowed any presumable sense of fashion I’ve ever had and any need of dressing up. I know I have written a whole post about dressing in sub zero, but honestly, the whole move did not leave me with much to work with. I have with me some winter essentials, but as for variety… well, you can forget about that.

I have my basic essentials to keep me warm, so I pretty much look the same every single day.

Wearing: Quicksilver ski jacket, Accessorize leather gloves, Zara pants (now oil stained! classy), anonymous oh-so-warm snow boots and more things that I can’t really write anything about.

I don’t really know how people who lived in colder climates for most of their lives cope with the gray weather/ same silhouette combo. To me it just seems like something that can surely drive me into madness or depression, but so far it had only pushed me into the kitchen with an undying urge to bake. I guess baked goods are a valid way to avoid winter depression.

The past month has been hectic. I have been running around, tying up loose ends and trying to sort all my worldly possessions into two piles: keep and throw away. Many of the other things in my life went through the same filters: thoughts, relationships, habits… Moving to a different country is very cleansing in that sense.

Pictured are a few things I’m going to miss where I am now- cats, beaches and the sun. This move has been a long time coming, holding all of the difficulties of moving to a country whose language I don’t speak fluently. I’m prepared for what’s to come and am embracing the ex-pat’s life with all its bureaucracy.

Once I am settled in my new place you could start expecting  more regular updates. I promise to try and not neglect this blog, which is my “home on the net” no matter where I currently reside. What a strange little place the world’s become. :)

I’m 28!

Birthday outfit

 What I wore: Cardigan, tights- H&M, Dress- Warehouse, necklace- Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti

This is what I wore to my birthday party, which was all about mint green and mustaches. Usually I’m not really keen on being the center of attention, so throwing myself a birthday party was a big deal. Luckily, all went well, food was great and my friends made it all worth it.

The mint-chocolate cupcake recipe can be found here. You might notice that this time I spooned the frosting over the cupcakes, that’s because on that very day my piping bag broke. The minty straws were ordered from ebay. I also used some washi tape for the decorations.foodAfter my party was all done with, the festivities  continued with an awesome dinner my boyfriend invited me to.
