NYC got its first dose of snow this weekend! Maybe it’s the Michigan girl in me…but there are quite a few things I love about winter. Well…first and foremost…it gives me hope that not all polar bears are drowning in the arctic. Plus…there are fun…delicious ways to beat the winter blues. Here are my “ups” when the mercury goes down.
1)Moon Boots! If I could wear these everyday…I would. They’re like walking on pillows…plus…they have super grips on the bottom so you don’t slip. Sure…you look like you’re 5-years-old waiting for the school bus…or a hardcore Napoleon Dynamite fan…but I guarantee you will be the only one not complaining about cold feet!
2)Korean soups! On your left is Sam Gae Tang (whole chicken ginseng soup) at Arirang Restaurant in Koreatown. On the right is Yuk Gae Jang (spicy beef stew) from Kang Suh.
3)Infinity scarfs and fun hats! Fashion Front: Grace Sun cashmere infinity scarf, Saks Fifth Avenue cashmere hat.
4)Indoor hobbies. I’m obsessed with playing my guitar…and if there’s ever a drum set within 50 yard radius…I’m there. Superhero Arts & Crafts with my nephew is always entertaining. Oh…I also love to knit! so I hit the yarn store Purl in Soho and have my mom…a knitting genius…help me with my projects…i.e. my white hat with the fun grey pom-pom.
Arirang and Kang Suh are on the list now, thanks Julie!
Hey Marcel! I hope this note finds you happy and healthy! Hit me up when you’re in NYC next and we’ll go feast on some good Korean food!
Oh, I’d love that!! How about next week?!
How have I lived without MoonBoots? A “MustHave” I gather, to ween me away from my wardrobe of Uggs{I just love the lambywool}. Imagine the girls who have only one hat (and some have …none!), finally, they may learn what they’ve been missing. Soup all thru the day: AM to PM keeps one warn and healthy, slim and strong. Italian-Americans have their favorites,but these Korean treats seem tempting! Music & creative arts shared with children & friends,making memories,for those times when only memories may remain, surely allow one to find bright spots thru dark winter days…& 2012 Sundays provide Football &/or Downton Abbey via TV; to each her own~~~
ha! sweet boots! and that spicy beef stew looks awesome. but the more important question; are you ready for some football? =)
