First Real Snow

how to wear a beanie

We had our first real snow in NYC yesterday! I don’t know what it is, but snow in New York is kind of magical when it’s really coming down. It’s almost like being in a real-life snow globe! … But then five minutes later you realize you are FUH-REEZING, you’ve already taken your #SnowyNYC instagram, you can’t open your eyes because snow is pelting you in the face, and you still have 9 more blocks to walk. Those first few minutes though… They really are magical. You’ve got to savor them!

PS: There are plenty of pictures of me making a fool of myself on Lexington Avenue during the morning commute. And almost getting hit by two different taxis… So keep reading! ๐Ÿ˜‰

As cold as the snow is, I’ve always wanted to take outfit pictures during a snowfall. It’s just so pretty to capture the snow coming down! But the real story here… Myย coat and bag were stowed away in a nearby apartment building entrance to stay dry, I couldย barely feel myย toes, and I almost got hit by a taxi. (It was my fault, obviously, since I was standing in the street.) I’m just gladย I didn’t bust my ass doing these jumping pictures.ย ๐Ÿ™‚
