My newly claimed trademark.

Since my freshman year in college, my friends have brought to my attention something that wasn't even apparent to myself--my affinity towards scarves. I don't know what it is about them, but I love to wear scarves. Perhaps it is the easy subtle way they add interest to a wardrobe, or it may be some deeper explanation of my subconscious--who knows?? It's also a part of why I love winter time so much. I love the cold weather because cold weather allows for cold weather clothing, and cold weather clothing include SCARVES! I also love coats, boots, and hats, but scarves are much more affordable and hats are harder to find. In my book, scarves can do no wrong. I wear scarves about 2/3 of the year--from when the first cold front comes in October until the very last cool breeze blows away in April. My favorite place to find a great scarf is Urban Outfitters. They have great scarves for under $30! Btw, Urban also has some pretty cute affordable boots too!

Holiday season is in our midst.

Christmas carols always put me in a cheery mood and 103.7 KLUV has decided to start playing them early this year! If I'm not mistaken, don't they usually start playing them on Thanksgiving so not to rob Thanksgiving of its own celebratory joy? It is probably just a way of boosting their ratings earlier in the holiday season. Although I can appreciate the many remakes of the classic Christmas carols, I am really looking for someone to write a brand spankin' new Christmas song that can arouse the same kind of cheer as the classics do. I know its easier said than done, but seriously... out of all of those artists out there in the world, is there no one that can write a great Christmas carol?? If you know of any, please let me know.
