Happy New Year everyone!  Here I am with my first post of 2017!  I had a wonderful, lowkey Christmas, and a nice family filled New Year's.  I haven't posted much anywhere recently, as I've been enjoying spending time with family while also finishing up some school projects.  I don't go back to London for another week or so, but I had some semester deadlines this week.  I had to ship one project all the way from the US to the UK, and communicate on another project where the group members are located all across the world.  It's been a bit of an exhausting week, but it looks like everything is close to finished now.

I'm still obsessing over these Public Desire flatforms that I got for Christmas and just love wearing them... despite their difficulty of walking in the snow.  I also made the very poor decision of wearing this rather light jacket when it was only 3°F (-16°C).  I even took the jacket off!  What was I thinking?  It really shouldn't be surprising that I might be getting a sore throat when I decide to not a coat in these temperatures.  Luckily, I finally bought myself a puffer jacket (thanks H&M clearance!), so now I can be warm!!

I seem to have an act for not dressing weather appropriately.  I received these beautiful Stella McCartney inspired flatforms for Christmas, and I just couldn't wait to wear them.  Despite the single digit temperature and the blistering cold wind, I just had to go out and shoot these.  They are surprisingly comfortable, but they are scary to walk in in snow and ice.  I cannot tell you how many times I almost tripped while walking from the car to this area to shoot (it was maybe 15 feet).  After taking these photos, I gave up on trying to walk around in the snow and switched into my Adidas for the rest of the day.
My ankles probably also didn't appreciate the fact that I paired these shoes with my new, cropped jeans.  If you remember from a few posts ago, I made a wishlist of some clothes that I was eyeing at the time.  One of the items was this pair of jeans from M&S, and I eventually gave in and bought them.  I ordered them online, so when I received them they were a lot shorter than I had anticipated.  I almost returned them out of fear of them being too short, but I loved the patchwork quality and the raw hem so I let them stay.
Despite being terrible shoes for winter in Montana, I already know that they'll be perfect when I return to London.
