first day back: i am now blogging from the comfort of my own home after a whirlwind trip to nyc. i have already been harassed for mentioning this on twitter, but i really am delighted to be back in the california sunshine. i stepped outside this afternoon wearing jeans and a simple sweater and sorta pranced around a little bit in the warmth and sunlight, observing the first of the spring flowers blooming in the neighborhood: little peeks of pink and red and purple emerging from dark green shrubs and trees.
but enough of that. now i must tell you a bit about my trip: i arrived in nyc on thursday afternoon and spent my evening with jessica of what i wore. we chatted for hours about blogs and life while enjoying a delicious home-made meal and sharing a few glasses of wine. it’s really quite nice to be able to connect with other bloggers in real life to talk shop, and it was definitely one of the highlights of my trip to be able to do just that.
then i spent friday morning pacing around in jessica’s apartment waiting for the mail to arrive. when i left for my flight on thursday, i knew i would forget something: MY PHONE. fortunately, my bf sent it in the overnight mail, so i only had to wait a few hours before things were back on track. then i was off to meet rebecca of the clothes horse during her photo shoot with market publique. it was great to meet the ladies who run the site and to reconnect with rebecca after meeting her over the summer during the weardrobe conference!
so these are a few shots of what i wore while hanging out during the day on friday. as you can see, there was quite a bit of snow on the ground, and i quite like the comparison between my outfit and a frozen confection. i really did feel like a real life creamsicle, freezing cold in my peach mohair sweater!

snow and creamsicle clothing suit you well… that background was pretty cool too!
You are so effortlessly chic, Ms. Calivintage. The whole ensemble works for me: those colors suit you, and I love that fur color. How you can NOT wear socks around snow, proves your superhero status as a fashion maven. BRRRR.

Yikes – California girl in the snow! That's what people say to me when I go back home to the land of seasons.
I really like that orange sweater. It looks very comfy XD
Your creamsicle sweater is gorgeous!
It was so great to meet you! Glad you came to our studio and we got to hang out.
Also, wow, you're a brave lady for taking your coat off! It was freezing that day!
Big hug,
– Pamela
I salute you for braving the snow with those bare ankles. I've been living in my boots recently, maybe tomorrow I'll dare to step out in some other shoes!
wow that coat is unreal! i love the sweater too – you have such a good knack for combining the unexpected and making it look awesome!
