Thumpety Thump Thump, Look at Frosty Go

It's getting closer and closer to the actual start of winter, and its starting to feel more and more like it's already here.  For one, retailers waste no time holiday-ifying everything as soon as Halloween is over.  At Starbucks, everything is red, including our new aprons, there is an abundance of gift items for sale, and all the holiday drinks are out.  Side note, I'm trying to test all of them (Chestnut Praline, Eggnog, Gingerbread, and Caramel Brulee, all lattes) and am planning on doing a review post, so look out for that!  For two, it's really freezing cold outside.  It snowed yesterday!  Wayyyy too early for that, in my opinion.  And third, the subjects of my favorite personal style blogs, Classy Girls Wear Pearls, went to a Christmas tree farm in a recent post.  If there's anything these New Englanders know how to do, it's layering up for winter.
