After almost a whole week of laying in my bed and eating nothing but lemon popsicles and icecubes, I have finally recovered! I was greeted by the unfriendly enemy - 'The Stomach Flu' (and believe people when they tell you, he's not nice!) It was the most sick I have been in my 22 years of life, and I am crossing my fingers that I never get it again. You can imagine my excitement when I felt good enough to go outside. The outside world? It became a foreign concept to me. I truly felt like I was Edward Scissor Hands locked up in the tower and the only thing I was wishing for was an Avon lady to knock on my bedroom door to get me out of there. Nathans not exactly the avon lady I was rooting for, but hes better - so he took me out today. The weather has been so gorgeous lately. I couldnt help but be giddy the moment Nate and I went outside today. I love the snow, so the two of us had fun playing in it and twirling (okay, maybe Nate didnt twirl) around.

I have been meaning to show you these chocolate brown leather shorts since December...but ofcourse, that wasnt going to happen. I got them for Christmas, and as you can probably guess - I was smitten. I have a love for leather shorts that seems to be hard to put into words so I wont even try right now, but I adore them with a deep deep adoration. (Okay, that was a bit over the top...but to be truthful im practicing my writing skills for Valentines Day and truly taking any chance I get) Hope you have a great rest of your weekend and a wonderful week ahead. Love you to the moon and back, your eyes are enchanting, can we be together forever? (Im getting good, no?...) Au revoir!!! xx

Sweater - Thrifted
Shorts - Asos

    Yes, those shorts are perfection! I'm glad you're feeling better-stomach flu is the worst!
    The snow looks enchanting in your hair :) Seeing snowflakes in hair is one of my favorite things about winter!

    Ok, this is going to be a long comment...
    1. You're so funny, Kate. And your lovey dovey V-Day writing skills are top-notch ;) Hehe.

    2. I'm so glad you're better! Stomach flu is THE WORST.

    3. These photos are incredible, you look wonderful, I'm super jealous of your pretty snow, and your lucky you live so far away otherwise I would be stealing those shorts from you personally.

    I think that's all ;)

    Ah that's really good you feel a lot better. I've totally been digging shorts in the winter too, I have such a hard time finding decent priced ones that are high waisted though. I love this outfit, and you look super pretty <3

    Oooh I am a little bit in love with this outfit.
    I really want some leather shorts and I just can't get enough leopard print in my life.
    So glad you're feeling better, that sounds horrible :[[

    now I really want to see Edward Scissorhands again. I have it, and should do that, but alas, I'll push it aside to watch something I haven't seen yet.

    Love all these shots.

    I'm so glad you're feeling better! I had a stomach flu/maybe food poisoning in December and it was THE WORST EVER. I had to go to the hospital and get and IV and blood tests and all this crap. It was terrible. All this to say, I feel your pain & am glad you're alive & well. :)

    I wanna try out some leather shorts. I don't think I'd pull 'em off as well as you though. ^_^

    Oh oh oh, I've wanted leather shorts for so long now, but they're just so pricey! This is lovely, we're currently caught in a mini-blizzard. Snow has been pouring down and I haven't had school for a week! Glad you're feeling better! :D

    First off - I'm so glad you feel better!! Getting the stomach flu is my worst fear. Okay, maybe not my WORST, but it's up there.

    Second - your comments totally made my day. You are so sweet and so positive! I absolutely love your blog, I'm so glad I found it as well. Yay new blog friends! I hope you guys do end up moving to Japan someday, and if Matt and I are still there we can be friends in Japan! Fun, right?

    Third - I had dinner with Chelsea of Tea Talk the other night and we basically talked about blogging the whole night. You came up in conversation and she had such nice things to say about you!

    thanks for your comment kate :) it's funny that I inspire you because thats exactly what you do to me! I look to you for fashion inspiration when I'm putting my outfits together and when I'm feeling shy about wearing something bold, I remember your confidence and it helps me feel more confident! I'll be sure to have plenty of pictures of the launch for you and I hope that you visit Australia soon! xx

    Dang girl, the stomach flu?? That is rough. I'm glad you're feeling better though! I had really severe food poisoning when I was in the Philippines like 10 years ago and the memory of it still makes me shudder when I hear about stomach related illness so I feel for you!


    Also, I'm digging those leather shorts! I love the length and how they're cuffed, I think it makes them super wearable and a fun piece to snazz up a basic outfit :)
