     Please please please tell me there are Galavant fans out there. The Monty Python-esque show was laugh out loud funny this past Sunday. I laughed so hard that Chris complained he couldn't hear the TV over me XD

     Ok, enough about my super healthy binge watching habits. New Jersey was hit with Storm Jonas. It was so pretty! ...until I had to shovel/tunnel out of the house Sunday...just to get to my car! I am sore all over, even though I had proper "shoveling posture". So another one from the "backlog of outfits" vault!

     I'm guilty of this all the time: tights under dresses during the winter months. I have no idea why I think I'll be any warmer, but I do it, and then instantly regret it once I get outside, but can't go back inside to change or else I'll be late. Yah...but at least this dress is wool so it tends to keep me snug and warm. Yay!

Did you have to shovel for Storm Jonas?

Little Orange Riding Bike

Ok, I don't know how those gorgeously dressed European women do it! To be fair to myself, I did just learn to ride a bike less than a year ago. For the longest time, I could only go straight and turn, but once I turned I would just continue in a circle until I jumped off. I could not for the life of me get the bike straight again after a turn..until last year! I may have screamed constantly and endangered many a tree, but I succeeded in learning how to fully ride a bike and no trees were hurt in the process.

      The past few times I was in Europe, I had the pleasure of staying in Italy and France. In the summer, I saw women in beautiful draped dresses and HEELS zipping through traffic on bikes and vespas! Although it's easier to ride vespas in a skirt, I had none around and made due with my boyfriend's childhood bike aka perfect size for my short legs. 

     I love how the circle skirt drapes around the bike as I ride it. It just reminds me of Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday. It's got such a retro feel, and riding a bike is such a thrill. I can't help but smile in the photos :)

     Now if only I had the guts to ride a bike in Europe when I go on vacation...
