zero.

winter is finally here and i couldn't be happier. earlier this week the temperature finally hit zero and we had our first snow of 2013, otherwise known as a pretty damn good day. it's been snowing steadily for the rest of the week and i have been savoring it nonstop. i've always preferred the cold and am crossing my fingers in hopes of more days like this. nothing like fresh snow in an alley cheers me up quite the same.

berlin.

these are some of my favorite pictures from this past summer, when i spent some time in berlin with a few of my closest friends. the city is truly beautiful and looking back at these photos makes me pretty nostalgic. it was one of the few places i've visited that i could actually picture myself living in and i hope that i get the chance to go back sometime in the future.

january inspiration.

1. duckie knows best, or my attitude on the night before school starts. 2. wednesday addams pigtails and black dresses. 3. home alone winter hats. 4. train tracks to nowhere. 5. mad men, which i started watching over my winter break and have fallen in love with. 6. snow white and pops of red. 7. fur collars à la ikea monkey. 8. where i wish i was. 9. dark lips, big lashes and messy hair.

i figured that with the new year i would start a monthly recurring post of what's inspiring me at the moment, in hopes of both inspiring others and giving me something to look back on during the month as well. if you also do inspiration posts, leave a link below as i'd love to check them out! it'd be a great distraction as school starts back tomorrow and i'm feeling just like that scene from pretty in pink.
