Photos while it's blizzarding

Blizzarding is a word. Okay? I feel like these photos don't accurately capture the onslaught of snow I was dealing with, which is disappointing. When a person drives to the beach to take photos with a timer during a snow storm, that should be quite evident.

At least I had a coat with a nice hood to keep me warm; a coat I thought was gone, until I found it in a garbage bag while sorting through some of my sister's things.

I got this coat in 2009... I even did a blog post on it, though this was before I was taking outfit photos. When my sister went away to school three years ago she took it with her and I hadn't seen it since.

Once rediscovered, I revived the wrinkled mess of a coat with my new clothing steamer, brushed out the fur trim, removed the pills with a sweater comb, and finally went over it with a lint roller. Good as new.

  3. Woohoo! Love that coat, glad you found it again! :D
    At least the good thing about snow is not many people will be in your beach pictures ;)

  8. I hope you are staying warm. The snow is beginning to cause me to have cabin fever. I love your coat. I don't own a single coat with a hood. With all of these frigid temps I am realizing how much of a mistake that is.

  11. These photos look beautiful and, I have to admit, not blizzardy at all - which is a shame if you were suffering with wind and heavy snow while you took them. But the results are truly lovely. And what a lucky find with that coat! I have to say, I almost never find things again after I've passed them on - in general I don't regret it, but every once in a while a trend comes around again and I wish I'd kept something, Or, as the case may be, when cold weather comes around and I need a warmer coat!

  20. Wow! You are committed! If I had to deal with all that snow you probably wouldn't see me take a photo outside for months...haha. It's great when old things become new again. I hope it's keeping you warm!

  30. I think the coat is a buried treasure, I love it! And you totally rock for braving the blizzard to take (beautiful) pictures. I hope you had some hot chocolate after to warm up!!

  31. Your coat / parka is the exact one I have been on the hunt for. I loveeee it. I know that I would get little to no use out of it in Miami but I haven't bothered to think about that portion of my hunt, since I can't find one - is that because you snagged the last one? :)
