burrrrberry-ish

Yesterday morning I woke up to snow and ice cold toes. I was not happy about seeing the snow but was happy about getting all layered up and warm. You see, I'm not too fond of the snow, it is cold, uncomfortable and makes the roads quite unsafe. HOWEVER, it is beautiful when it first falls. It is fun for about five minutes and then I want it to go away. Cade says you can't have Christmas without snow but I beg to differ. I grew up with little snow for Christmas. I enjoyed my Christmas in Florida where I got to ride around on my new bike in my nightgown without freezing. I think it adds to the season, but I could do without it.. ANYWAYS.. I love layering for the cold. I like being warm, so yesterday I started with a plain white long-sleeve shirt, and dark jeans. Added a cute Burberry plaid inspired scarf (from wally world), a pair of motorcycle style boots and a biker style jacket. I did a quick teased ponytail with curled ends and basic makeup. Here's a picture:

Today in school we had a great "Fluff" Lecture (as my instructor calls it). It was alll about Holiday Decor! I LOVE HOLIDAY DECORATING!! So with the holiday decorating on my mind I made a 3 Layer Carrot Pineapple Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. It was beautiful and it tasted delicious! I think a simple white frosted cake is the perfect addition to holiday decorating for every season (and it is SUPER easy decorating lol). Carrot Cake just screams fall and winter to me. It has cinnamon, almonds and that gorgeous orange color. Very warm and with hot chocolate or a glass of cold milk.. mmm mmm mmm! How beautiful would this be on a table with holiday decor?!:
