Let it snow




Well, looks like I finally had my thoughts heard, we got some snow! It started snowing quite heavily last night and I couldn't pass the chance of enjoying it, especially since I was off work. So I met up once again with Kirstin and we had cupcakes and tea at the Hummingbird Bakery and then strolled from South Kensington through most of Kensington Gardens and Hyde park. What a sight! It was an absolute winter wonderland, and do not worry because I took so many pictures of the day, I am sure I'll share some of them in this space soon. Now most of the snow is melting, and I don't mind, because the one on the streets is mostly black slush now, unlike the perfect whiteness of the parks!
Oh and this is my new skirt from COS. I couldn't pass it up when I saw it at 70% off and it is the perfect swingy skirt with the perfect just-at-the-knee length!

These photos are so pretty! As is your outfit. I really like how the jewel toned pieces look against the black and white items, as well as the snow. Lovely all around!

Tea and cupcakes. Yes, please :)

I love the colours in the outfit, the cardigan is so cute.
I'm a bit jealous you had so much snow, we only got a bit and it didn't even last for a whole day but it still was a big deal for Barcelona :)

You look like a perfect funky parisienne! :-) The snood, the cardi and the hat are so adorable together and I love snow <3

Lovely outfit, the DM's look pretty perfect for the snow - I wish it had lasted a bit longer than it did though! Also I love COS so much. I think I was after that skirt when it was still full price, if it has an orange waistband inside. Jealous!

@Helen> Get a new pair, they are cheaper at Amazon! They're the best boots for snow and winter in general!

@Rebecca: It does have an orange waistband inside :) When I saw it I fell in love, and the 70% off tag made me want it even more haha, I had to calculate the actual payable amount on my mobile several times to really believe how cheap it was :)
