Winter flurries

We're living in a winter wonderland! This is my favorite time of winter. The white snow covering all of the trees right now is so pretty. I was just telling Brett the other day that this is the winter version of the peak of autumn. I wouldn't mind winter so much if it looked like this the entire time!

This weekend just flew by. Friday night, I ended up watching tear-jerker chick flicks on the sofa. Saturday, Brett and I went shopping and saw Like Crazy at the theater. I really liked it! But the ending wasn't satisfying enough for me. I need to know how it really ends! Then, we went to see a few bands play. Today, I did laundry and decided to do nothing else but eat chinese food, popcorn and watch TV. So lazy! What is it about winter that makes you so lazy?

This week... I need to increase my runs to 1.5 miles, catch back up on emails (it's neverending!) and practice for our show we have coming up on Friday. My band, Circle Maybe, is playing in Ann Arbor on Friday night at the Metal Frat! I'm super excited to finally play out of Grand Rapids. Plus, I might be more excited to make a stop at their Urban Outfitters. They have the best one in Michigan!

Other than that, not much else is new to talk about! I've been working hard at getting the new Delightful Dozen members announced and planning for the Texas Style Council Conference! They were able to snag a larger venue, so if you were interested in attending, you still have a shot! I'll also have some exciting news on my trip soon too!

Outfit details:
Gifted ring from Bonjour Bbydoll
Hue tights
Target boots

I don't think that it is just Winter that makes you want to sit around doing nothing, it's Summer here and currently fairly hot so I'm not doing anything either. I love your hair in these photos, it looks so pretty, especially your fringe. :)

courtney said...

I wish we had as much snow as you...barely any here in Oakland Township:( Love the pictures!

I'm hosting a giveaway!

You look so pretty! I love the snow, but I'm not sure how I feel about that much snow, at least while I'm at university. Something about cold weather, heavy snow, and the promise of hot chocolate and warm covers makes skipping classes just too darn tempting.

Anyhow, you really are looking fantastic. Good for you with working out! I went to the gym today for the first time of 2012 and biked 10mi. I'm already feeling it-- hence me sitting on the couch commenting rather than moving around.

Sorry for this super long comment. I started writing it on a commercial of Pan Am and just. kept. writing.

Kenziefaith said...

How cute is this outfit! And that snow.. Ah. It's so pretty.. I wish it would snow here!

Samantha Alice said...

You look just lovely! I am happy you have snow! I have been dying to see some, but here in socal... well enough said! haha!

Heather Belle said...

Ugh you can't even imagine how jealous I am. Today's high in my little part of Florida? 70 degrees. Sure, I'd love it to be this cool during the summer, but I'd kill to experience a real winter!

As usual, you look lovely :)

liz said...

I just have to say your hair is looking amazing lately! I love the straight and dark look! It flurried here too but I can't say I'm at all excited, snow and I aren't the best of friends...

Megan Rose said...

Your dress is so pretty, and congrats on your out-of-town show coming up! :) The snow is beautiful, but here in Texas we're still having the random 70 degree days.. I don't really mind that, though. haha.

I agree with you about Like Crazy, it was too open-ended! I ended up googling it afterwards and found out it was mostly improv, crazy! haha

This post makes me want to live somewhere snowy so badly!

Clouds said...

very cute, i love the boots!

Brittany said...

wow, this is my favorite outfit ever. i love navy and polka dots so it's a winner. plus, your hair looks amazing!

Lucy, Dear Fish said...

Yay I love your snow photos! We finally just got snow too. It is literally snowing at this moment. I am over the moon!
So jealous that you will be speaking at the texas style council. I have been stalking the website checking out the schedule and such. It looks amazing, I wish I could attend. It will be so much fun.
And congrats on Circle Maybe playing in Ann Arbor. What a great night that is going to be!

You look very nice by the way :)

Emily, Ruby Slipper Journeys said...

I love your winter boots with all the textured black. : ) They look seriously cozy!

Chloe Marie said...

This is such a beautiful backdrop, the snow looks amazing but you're brave to pose in just a dress in it! It's been bitter cold here but not enough for snow jet. Those boots are amazing! Good luck for your gig on Friday!

Annie said...

You look gorgeous with that snowy background! Gotta love a lazy Sunday filled with Chinese food :)

Snow makes me so happy! I can't wait to go skiing in 2 weeks...

Have fun in the snow! :)

Chelle Lynn said...

The snow is so beautiful that it's almost unreal-looking! The dark shades in your outfit really pop against all the soft white. Can't wait to find out who the rest of the new DD members are!

Kyla said...

Snow pictures are so pretty! Very much digging the boots, too!

Monica said...

Lovely photos! Love the long sleeve dress on you, perfect for the chilly weather. Cold weather must bring out a natural hibernation instinct because when it gets cold, I too just want to stay in and be lazy!

Ruzu said...

Nice outfit.. I want to see the snow :D

Hello, beautiful Tieka!! Oh my goodness, I adore your snowy photos - we are also getting hit with snow this week... finally, and it's been so much fun! I agree, it's SO like the peak of autumn, I've been mesmerized by all of the stunning scenery. AND, your dress is gorgeous, so lovely paired with the stripey tights & adorable winter boots!!

Best of luck with your show, sounds like you guys have loads of fun playing together - and, yay, can't wait for the rest of the DD announcements, exciting stuff!! xo veronika

I wish we had a winter wonderland. These photos are so pretty! It snowed maybe an inch here but it all melted the next day. I love your dress. You look so pretty!

Loren said...

These photos are so dreamy. You look super cute in the dress and snow boots.

chillairandperfume said...

I have those boots! I've been "saving" them for when Boston gets some snow, but that doesn't seem to be happening. I might have to bust them out of the box and wear them anyway :)

Cute dress!

I would love to have a gorgeous white winter like that this year! Whenever it snows in Georgia it turns to mush either that day or 3 days later. I wish we could enjoy it for a longer period!
You look SO gorgeous!!!! I absolutely love this outfit entirely.

Oh the little booties are cute! I love how pretty the snow is by you. It's already gone by us now :( So excited for your concert in AA! Yep, I lurve that Urban, it was the first one I ever went into...and all I bought were curtains :P hehehe. Lemme know next time you guys play, I can always swing over to Ann Arbor on a Friday night!

Kaleigh said...

AH! I live in Ann Arbor! I'm going to do everything in my power to come see you play! Good luck! And if you're going to be shopping and already at Urban Outfitters, you HAVE to go to The Getup... it's an awesome vintage shop and it's on the same side of the same block as Urban. I'm so excited!

Femke said...

Love your dress (and the contrast it makes with the snow...)! I'd wish we'd have snow, it's just seems either like autumn or spring over here... :(

Cute dress! I've been wanting to see Like Crazy but even the trailer makes me bawl my eyes out (I'm in a long distance relationship). I submitted my Delightful Dozen entry but no matter what I'm excited to see the new members!

Britney said...

Tieka! As always, you look gorgeous! I love how you mixed black with that shade of brown with the sweater tights. I haven't been to Urban in such a long time, but every time I see your posts I get this panging to go! Ok: I'm going.

Kelli said...

I found you via kelly anne. So glad i did! This dress is perfection! xo.

Michelle said...

This is so cute! I always love your photos a little bit more because I can totally relate to how you're dressing for the weather. I only live some miles below you in good old Indiana... Michigan and Indiana are weather buddies I guess... :)

Happy snow flurrying!
xx!

Jamie Rose said...

That dotted dress is so cute. I'm really loving the winter wonderland background in these pictures too. Plus your boots are amazing. I've been wanting a pair like that.

Style Searchin said...

Love your dress, so cute! Something about snow that makes pictures that much more beautiful- hope some of it makes its way over to NY soon!

chibiaion said...

You are really one wickedly gorgeous girl having photo shoot under the harsh cold. Staying pretty under the snow, love the spirit.

you look adorable! I love snowy winter the most as well. I am born in January and a winter child through and through. This photo shoot looks like you had so much fun, even in the cold :) Wish you all the best for your show with your band, hope you had a good time!!

BmoreLoveLeigh said...

First time visitor. These photos are stunning! We haven't had much snow yet in Maryland, and this makes me long for it!

I love your hair too - when I had bangs I could never get them to look quite right. Believe me, I have the horrifying driver's license picture to prove it. Ha!
