All the world's a runway

It's a very gray day in NY today. 
I actually really love gray Sundays
You tend to stay home and do absolutely nothing at all, which is rather lovely after a busy week.
On gray days I tend to...

Strike a random pose


Look at pretty pictures

I put lime juice in my water because water can be boring
  
I become very bored.
(If only I was bored while wearing Chanel and Miu Miu!)

I throw on a J.Crew sweater and I read about the history of fashion magazines or the history of Prada or the history of Chanel or "The invention of Wellies" or something to that effect. 
Here it was a book about Richard Avedon's work.


I learn that in America you spell it GRAY and in England they spell it GREY. Who knew?

What do you do on grey days?

Snow Day


The view from my front door

I completely ruined those jeans sledding last weekend.
I envy all of you at the equator.
On the upside, 3 snow days last week!
Snow can be so pretty the first day or so, and you love it and never want it to go. Then people start walking in it and it turns to slush and it's FREEZING!!!!! Why is it so cold? WHY???
It's far too cold.

It's good thing I stocked up  on reading material... okay, lots of reading material. It took me FOREVR to get through "In Vogue". It had 400+ pages. Eh. Who Cares. I could read about Vogue all day. 
Dior In Vogue was stunning. I didn't care for Influence too much, I only read the interviewees of the designers or models I liked. I dropped the Anna Wintour book fast because I realized it was an unauthorized bio. If I'm going to study Anna Wintour (she's one of my all time heros), then I'll wait for a Authorized Bio.

Okay, so it's like 20 degrees. Cute coat, or ugly warm coat? I can't decide. What would you wear?
Have you read any of those books?
