I stopped him before he could even reach in to pull the paper out of the toe. I don't do Uggs, I told him. "Well, have you ever tried them?" No, but I don't have to try them on to know that I want none of that. <br /><br />Also- puffy coats- acceptable only when they are knee length. Short and puffy is an abomination. Long and puffy is an absolute necessity in single digit temperatures, especially for a city-dweller who walks everywhere.

Would you? I'd love to hear more of your opinion on this...<br /><br />Do you feel the same way when it comes to being attracted to guys? I've been thinking about that a lot lately. There's this guy and he might just be a slow-burn for me...though I think he's like me since he first met me.

On the upper Canadian prairies we have weeks of minus 20-40 celcius ( no idea what it is F)<br />Our coats for spring and autumn would be your coats on your coldest winter day... In Toronto or other parts of Canada you could get away with it though... So if you ever take to Canada move to Toronto or Vancouver... Where cold is not really THAT cold;) I try to make me warm jacket somewhat stylish by going with Thinsulate Ski jackets.... At least it's not quite as puffy but still does the trick when the winds are added to the temperature.... And hair is impossible to keep stylish- toques are a gals best friend... Oh Canada;) sometimes I wish we had your winters but then again... It's refreshing to walk into a mall and see the majority lugging around winter coats and dressed in sweaters and jeans or whatever is warmest;)<br />Loved this post. Had to agree with all the other confessions. Your hair looks stunning short;)Kmariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12947797743800775255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155538679069971441.post-12569304435568380632013-01-19T22:03:24.417-05:002013-01-19T22:03:24.417-05:00I laughed out loud at the part about not liking pu...I laughed out loud at the part about not liking puffy winter coats, but also not living in Chicago. As a Chicagoan born and bred, I harbor the belief that even Jackie O would have caved in and worn a puffy jacket in the bitter cold of midwestern Februaries. The cold is simultaneously battering and befriending--it smothers, engulfs, and thoroughly bashes to the bone.Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08168377438392631130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155538679069971441.post-48848226835186057372013-01-19T21:52:41.054-05:002013-01-19T21:52:41.054-05:00love the short hair and this post :)love the short hair and this post :)Emmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16858905949867764856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155538679069971441.post-62767126143131331792013-01-19T12:54:41.146-05:002013-01-19T12:54:41.146-05:00I'm fairly new to your blog but I love your st...I'm fairly new to your blog but I love your style of writing and now I'm hooked :) Croissants (with jam and butter) really are the best food.

Just the best.<br /><br />Growing up in New England, I never fully believed in puffy coats either, but when I moved to Minnesota four years ago, I discovered that the old adage is definitely true: there are no (puffy coat) atheists in (upper Midwestern winter) foxholes. I may look completely ridiculous in my ankle-length, fleece-lined, down "sleeping bag" coat, but when its -16 outside, I couldn't care less about how cute I look, as long as I am cozy and comfortable and not in danger of dying from exposure. <br /><br />xo from Minneapolisellabellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07200751952128160390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155538679069971441.post-52461879227874578232013-01-18T15:45:55.896-05:002013-01-18T15:45:55.896-05:00I loved this and I think shorter hair suits you.
