MORE LIKE THE STYLE BLOB

Oh my goodness does it feel like fall (or autumn to you bunch over the pond). I don't know what it is but sometimes I just get a real wintery feeling deep inside, and for me it is one of the best feelings I ever have. It's hard to describe just how it feels but I am sure many of you know what I am talking about. The feeling is so warm and forgiving. It starts at your toes and radiates throughout your whole body. It makes you feel invincible. I adore it.


Maybe it's beacause the nights have became longer and the temperature less. Maybe it's because I miss home. Maybe it's because I am in the greatest city in the world.


I just want to gobble it up. The cold, the woolen jumpers, the boots. Ideally I would like to be part of the group hudled around a candlelit table, chatting, and drinking wine, but alas I have not manifested to the level of friends yet. This feeling is quite selfish however. I am very happy having it all to myself. I don't know if I am quite ready to share it, it's way too good to be spoiled.


On my walk home from work I bypassed the puppy shop and instead went to invest in a nice, thick cardigan. Something to snuggle me all day at work, and love me all night while sleeping alone. Everything that came on my i-pod on the twenty minute walk home further ignited my wintery feeling. Think dark night and warm cardigan accompanying Crystal Castles (Courtship Dating), Bloc Party (Mercury), Foals (Hummer), White Lies (Death), and Laura Marling (My Manic and I). It's not exactly rocking around the Christmas Tree but my heart was filled to bursting point with this happy feeling.


Here's what I did for the rest of my wintery evening...

Admired the new cardigan, $49.95 Anthropologie

Wore the new cardigan.

Made a turkey sandwich. And ate it.
