Well the snow is almost gone (for now) but it seems the cold temperatures are here to stay.  Yesterday I surfaced from behind a two foot high pile of textbooks, notes, calculators, etc. to go for a brisk walk around the park.  My boyfriend snapped these shots while we were there.  It has to be said: the one with the leather jacket thrown nonchalantly over the shoulder was his idea - I can't take credit for that much cheesiness ;)
Good luck to those writing finals!!

First off, please excuse my coat being covered in cat hairs... she wants everyone to know I’m hers.  Moving on: this is the second outfit I’m posting with coloured tights.  I went with red tights to have as the focus of an otherwise completely neutral and basic outfit.  In fact, just between you and me, a few hours before this photo was taken I wasn't wearing a turtleneck sweater on top of the white button up shirt but... nutella on toast cravings happen.  And when one occurs in conjunction with a white shirt, a mess ensues.

 The past few days have been quite uneventful and the highlight has been the ever-changing weather; it was bitterly cold and windy one day yet sunny, warm and spring-like the next!  Unfortunately I came down with a cold and spent the majority of the long weekend trying to sleep it off, or eating soup and drinking cappuccinos while awake.  I also happened to see Wes Anderson's "Moonrise Kingdom".  I know his movies aren't everyone's piece of cake but I did enjoy his movie "The Darjeeling Limited" and absolutely loved "Fantastic Mr. Fox" (based on the book by Roald Dahl) so I had high expectations for his newest movie - and it did not disappoint :).  It is about a young boy and girl who fall in love and try to run away together.  Also, Bob Balaban plays the cutest old weatherman I've ever seen.  Have you seen it? x
