We finally received some real snow! It's not our first snowfall, but nothing has stuck this winter! Not that I'm complaining because I adored our extended autumn. But it is nice to see a bit of winter now that it's January. I made a huge winter inspiration Pinterest board and then it never snowed. I wonder if that's why... I jinxed myself this year by planning ahead!
I wore this outfit when Brett and I were out on Monday running a few errands. It's been so nice having long, extended weekends the past two weeks. Next week is going to seem so long with five work days! I've finally been trying to get into a routine since the new year. It's my goal to work out four times a week, stay on top of a schedule and plan ahead more. It really helps me to have a plan and to stay organized.
I'm trying to think of other new and exciting things to tell you guys about, but I just don't have much! I'm itching to take a trip soon. We always plan these amazing weekend trips in summer, but never think about it much in winter! Michigan is beautiful all year round, but I just think the winter mentality is "stay home". I really need to plan somewhere pretty to explore this time of year.
I'll have some other news about changes on the blog soon. I'm trying to streamline as much as I can in my life currently. I know it's probably the "new years resolutions" mentality, but I want more time for fun in my life. I also want more time to spend with Brett. I know we're married and we live together, but sometimes I really miss him! I want to be able to spend more time with him. So planning things out, getting rid of things that aren't benefiting my life and making decisions are all part of my plan this winter. I'm excited for the future!

This outfit is so cute! I'm not a huge fan of winter but all these snowy pictures made me feel ok w it. Although we haven't had snow for a month and it doesn't look like its coming any time soon.
I think that is a wonderful goal!
your little winter attire is just adorable girl! and i'm right there with you, i was so excited for my first white christmas that i jinxed it and it hasn't made it's appearance here in UT.
can't wait for the new year to really get started so i can start planning everything ahead of time, and really stay on top of it :)

You look gorgeous!
I started weight watchers again and am trying to plan my workout schedule as well. It's too bad we can't bottle the New Year mentality for those uninspired days.
That bag is magical! And I love the print mixing.

Awww, you look so gorgeous, esp. in the 3rd to last photo. So pretty!
I love your polka dot top and that bag is AMAZING!
I totally know what you mean about missing your hubs. We have been together a total of almost 8 years and married almost 5, and I still miss him when I am at work or not with him after a few hours haha. :)

What a perfect snowy day outfit. :) It still hasn't snowed, or even come close to freezing temps here in Texas, so enjoy it while you have it! Yeah, the warmer weather is nice, but so are seasons! And your resolutions sound eerily similar to mine. Happy New Year! haha.

Sounds a lot like my resolutions! Please share your ideas on Michigan winter escapes. I am from Walled Lake, Michigan and am always looking to explore new parts of Michigan, but like you said, more so in the summer months. Winter is so beautiful in Michigan though...if we would only get that snow... You look great by the way!
I'm really jealous of your snow! We have hardly had any in Tahoe and our ground is looking very bare! All of the ski resorts are closing!
I am making the most of it by going on tons of hikes and taking time to appreciate the lake.
I love your bag, it is so pretty and looks perfect for carrying lots of stuff!
i love everything about this! you're so stinkin adorable! :)
so cute! love the bag!
I love that bag! What gorgeous colors.

It's funny, me and my husband always end up in michigan in the winter! ann arbor, grand rapids, detroit, east lansing... seriously, we take more trips to michigan than anywhere else! and the weather is always AWFUL! As long as you're bundled and can find frequent refuge in coffee shops or wine bars, it's wonderful - oh, and love the bag ;)

You're breathtakingly beautiful and incredibly inspiring! Thanks for continuously sharing your life with us!
Oh, I would give anything for a snow day. You look very ready for it! Love the chunky cardigan, scarf, and boots. You can't go wrong with layers and knits on a cold winter day. Thanks for sharing!

I am so totally in love with everything about this outfit and these pictures! You're perfectly in tune with the season. I can't wait to see the blog changes you have in store!
what a great bag with that outfit! I love that snow finally came to MI too. what a welcome change. I just wish driving in it was more enjoyable...
The deep maroon colour scarf and your deep brown hair are so gorgeous together
You look lovely in this casual wintry outfit! I love the print mix with top and bag an these boots are so perfect, exactly what I've been looking for the last weeks. What a bummer we dont have Target over here...
I wish it snowed here.
Love your winter outfit! Your blog is truly inspirational
I love your scarf and bag! And the pictures look so pretty with snow in the background.
We haven't had any real snow yet. I don't like snow very much, but still, it can be so pretty!
Liking the boots!
That bag is fabulous! Nothing like a fun pattern in bright colors to brighten up a dreary winter day.
Lovely blog :) Stop by anytime!

here it's the same: no real winter for so far, a bit of snow today, but it's a bit to warm...
well, as you, I wasn't unhappy for the "loooong" autumn, but I really don't want to end with snow piles in march or april!
we'll see!
good luck with your resolutions, and p.s. I also started to work out last year, I didn't do any "hard things", but I started with yoga and pilates each once per week, and by the end of the year, I went in total 4 times per week to the gym, even my fear of the "cardio" things had vanished! And believe me, I feel really better, my back doesn't hurt any more and I'm more active!

The best thing about your blog is the scenery your pictures have. I love them! Lovely post, I wish it would snow were I love.. sigh..

You look cosy and wrapped up in these photos, glad you finally got your snow! The red scarf is so cute and I love it against the polka dots. I get the same way in winter, with less exploring, but there's still so many places I want to see.
Beautiful photos! You just look gorgeous.
Looking forward to hearing about your plans and changes. Its funny how the new year can motivate and rejuvenate even though it would otherwise be a really dreary time of year

I absolutely adore your coat! You've inspired me to do an outfit post on my blog. You've also inspired me to finally buy a tripod and a remote. You kind of inspire me a lot! Just wanted to let you know.

I am loving the boots and bag!
I love these photos and the landscape! It's hard to believe it's snowing over there, when here in Southern California we're around the 80s F!
Have a great weekend! ;D
And, btw, I got an email from InPink! I can't believe I'll have $40 worth of credit to spend! It was my birthday on Tuesday, so this is great! I'll love treat myself, hehe. Thanks a lot! :D

Perfect running errands outfit! Love the patterned bag to brighten things up, too!
"Simplify" seems to be a very common theme for 2012! I think it's great and we could all use more time to focus on the things we truly love and enjoy!
What a wonderful post! I hope you achieve 2012 goals! And I haven't ever really considered traveling somewhere (within my state) in the winter before, so maybe that will be something I try, too!
http://lovexretro.blogspot.com/
What a sweet bag! The print is so quirky and I like how you paired it with the polka dot top. I hope that you reach your goals! 2012 is going to be a big year for me, too. <3
I checked the forecast and it's supposed to stay mild through the next week. So crazy for January in Michigan, but I'm not complaining - I don't mind at all the extra days when I don't have to get up early to scrape off my car :)
I'm with you on not being ready for a 5-day work week again. This week has dragged and it's only 4 days! Ah well. Can't wait to hear your blog news!
great cozy look
That outfit looks so cozy and cute! I can only dream of snow here in Florida!
I got those exact same Target boots over Thanksgiving! I love them, they're so warm and everyone is always surprised to hear they're from Target.
so cute and cozy!! still waiting on our first good snow, can't wait!

Oh, the snow looks so pretty! I love that you've managed to inject some colour into this look so it's not a drab winter outfit. The bag is fabulous. :-)
I love your purse!! So cute.

Something about these winter photos is very inspiring... lovely post, once again!

You are just so gosh darn adorable! I love these photos! I understand what you mean when you say that you are married but you still miss Brett. I miss my hubby sometimes too just because we are always busy. We have started "Friends hour" every night. We just veg for an hour and watch Friends snuggled up on the couch before bed! It's my favorite time of day! :)
The bag looks so cute, and so are you :)

Beautiful!!!! :)
Oooh yay, love this snowy post, there is something so charming & magical about these photos. And the one where you are covering your face, could not be cuter!! I'm also loving that modcloth coat - I believe you had it in your wishlist and it's absolutely perfect... as are the polka dots & those lovely fur lined boots, adorable outfit!
As for streamlining? Oh my goodness, it seriously must be something in the air because I have SO been thinking along the same lines. Lately, I've been missing Martin & want more fun in my life. Can't wait to hear more about it Tieka and the blog changes too. It's all about moving forward & being happy!! Happy weekend. xo V
I adore this look Tieka! It's so nice to see some snow around :) Where I live there has only been loads of hail, but not a single snowflake. Yuck! x
Oh you look so adorable, the perfect winter attire! So warm and cosy!

Hey you should take a trip to this side of the mitten Tieka! Kyle and i could show you guys around :)
Yay! I love when snow makes an appearance in your outfit posts! You make winter look so cozy and stylish - I love the polka dots and that awesome bag.
I'm excited to hear what changes are coming up! I've been thinking a lot lately about blogging, the bloggers I follow and the amount of time I spend on the internet... mostly the last one! It's funny how much of a part of your life it becomes and you don't really question wether that's a good thing or not! But I'll always adore you and this blog :)
Love your bag - almost bought a vintage one very similar this weekend, I should have got it!!
I absolutely adore your outfit SO much! You look so vibrant against that winter snow. I seriously think this might be one of my favorites! I really need to start planning ahead again like I used to. Whenever I cooked meals the day before I ate a LOT healthier! Definitely need to do that again.. lol!
I hope your plans work out and you get to spend more time with Brett! You guys are so sweet whenever you make appearences together on the blog. I'm sure we all wouldn't mind seeing more of that on here as well! ;)!
