Snow Day in New York City

Last Thursday New York City experienced our first winter storm. Luckily for me I had requested a personal day for that Friday, but it was because I had a wedding to go to. So knowing how bad the snow storm would be did make me nervous about going to the wedding.

So Thursday night my boyfriend and I stayed up a bit because we both had the following day off. Usually he's in bed by 10PM because he has to get to work by 7AM and I go to sleep by 11:30PM. We also kept watching updates on the storm and looking out the window. Whenever I looked out the window it looked like a scene from a movie. I love how snow looks when it first sticks to the ground. It looks so clean and it makes you want to go out there and play in the snow. One of my favorite things to do when I lived at home was to go to the backyard with my sisters get into a snow fight and make snow angels.

On Friday I got to sleep in for once and although the snow was bad, it didn't look too bad as how the news said it would be. I was expecting almost a foot of snow, but it was only about six inches. I guess in my eyes that's not bad because I'm not the one shoveling any of the snow. So after my boyfriend and I ate breakfast we got ready to go outside to take pictures in the snow.

We were only out there for about 15 minutes at most and that was enough for the both of us. With that much time we were only able to take about 3-4 pictures because it sure was cold. Once we got back inside the house and ate lunch it was time to get ready for the wedding.

Lucky for us we called Metro Line a Brooklyn based taxi company and we were able to reserve a cab in Maspeth. Usually they don't reserve cabs, but I suppose it was different that day because of the snow. Meanwhile when we called a local Queens taxi company (Four Ones); they told us our chances were slim to none and should call back at 3:30PM. We needed the cab for 4:30PM so that wasn't going to work. Plus what if we called at 3:30PM and they still didn't have a taxi available? We would've been screwed. At least there's always options in New York City.

Once 4:30 PM came our cab picked us up on time and off we went to our friend's wedding. In a nutshell our snow day was very productive and we had fun all throughout the day and night.

Daily Blog: When Do You Start Wearing Boots?

The weather is getting cooler and soon we'll have to put our sandals away. Although I'm sad that summer is coming to an end, I am excited about getting to wear my fall clothes.

Since it's only getting a bit cooler I love wearing my booties. I have a black pair of wedge booties that I leave in my office and for the weekend I have a grey suede pair of wedge booties. I got my grey booties about three or four years ago from Payless and they still look brand new since I don't wear them all the time. Plus I take care of shoes very well.

Then I also have a pair of brown Aldo boots with a two inch heel. These boots are so comfortable and when I'm just hanging out with my girls or my boyfriend these are one of my favorite go to boots.

Once the weather gets a lot colder like November that's when I start wearing my knee high boots. My favorite pair are my Nine West wedge boots. Nine West has been one of my favorite brands for as long as I can remember. They're very comfy and very affordable too. I use to pay crazy amount of money for shoes, but as I got older brand names weren't important to me as much.

A pair of boots that I treated myself too were my knitted Uggs. When it's super cold outside I wear my Uggs and my feet are nice and toasty, plus they're very comfortable to walk in. Another pair of boots I recommend to everyone are my purple Hunter Boots. These boots are the best for rainy days and snow days. I've had my Hunter Boots for over three years and they're the best. I have the high boot, but I'd like a shorter one so I can wear it in the fall or spring. Sometimes when walking in the high ones it might get too heavy on you.

So there it is, some of my favorite boots and when I like to wear them.
