It Girl

via

Fashion is a dream, a retreat from real life.  While you slave in the bowls of some cold, dark office, day in and day out, never seeing the sun, all those fashion blogs are waiting to make you forget that you are overweight and turning gray.  Fashion is the fantasy of being the “It Girl” who lives in a perfect world.  But looking at pretty pictures all day is like eating too much candy.

First Snow

The first snow of the season fell overnight.  I wasn't ready of course, but I'm never ready for snow.  It's almost all gone, but the shock of winter setting in is still with me.
