Winter Wonderings...O Vitamin D, Where Art Thou?

I woke up to snow.

And if you know me, you know how much I love snow.

...And the wintertime. And the winter fashion, la mode d'hiver.



...I've even been known as an Ice Queen. I am a winter lady. A winter personality. I have the skin to prove it.

...but every winter, just when I think I am content with the cold, I walk into a store and see the new spring collection. Symbolizing: A breath of fresh air. A new beginning.

Then I realize how much I want spring to show it's face. And then I fantasize about vacation at the beach. With my iPod. Lying in the sun.

...And springtime.


Like Manet's Le Dejeuner sur l'herbe.

...when I can pack this

...and do this.

...and find myself somewhere like this:


...where bathing suits might be in my luggage

...and, where I can use these:


In conclusion, Stockholm, Sweden will no longer be my February vacation. We be goin' South. To the South of France!
