Powdered snow always passes us by...

Du Juan in Vogue China December 2010

This editorial really reminds me that it's nearing the end of November and I have yet to buy any clothes that are even somewhat warm. Oops.
Du Juan is so gorgeous in this, as is the snow. I'd like to spend a day playing in this wardrobe and set...but just a day, I can't handle snow for too long.

We All Fall Down.

All I feel like doing lately is staying snuggled in my warm bed and sleeping the day away. The holidays are coming up fast and I'm feeling extremely homesick thinking about how another holiday season is going to pass without my family around. It definitely doesn't help that there's no Thanksgiving in Japan, and Christmas isn't an actual holiday here either so almost everyone I know is at work all day. Last year I literally sat in my apartment alone for the entire day stuffing myself with chocolate and champagne and watching Christmas movies from my childhood.

I'm hoping to make things a little more festive this year, hah. I even upgraded to a new, bigger, prettier Christmas tree! We'll see how it goes.

I know I've said this about a million times by now, but I promise I'll get some new stuff up here soon. I have a 4-day weekend coming up so I definitely have enough time to do it.

Hope anyone who reads this is doing well!

Back in Black

Well, who knew it would be so hard to connect my laptop to the internet? After almost a month, I'm back! Apparently my new internet company isn't very fond of foreign computers? Who knows.
Although I have to admit, being without internet for awhile did give me some time to do more important things, like finding a grocery store, unpacking, and eating way too much apple pie.

I'll be back soon to post something more substantial!
