facing the cold

it's almost impossible to remember how cold it really was those first few weeks. i am so grateful i went winter semester, because the weather got progressively warmer, not colder! we had one of the nicest springs paris had seen in years, but it was awfully cold when i first arrived!

memories of colder days

 thank heavens for hats and scarves!

 and black coats.

 so cold!

 classy cold protection

 scarves

frosty run?

 our best protection from the cold:

hot chocolate and nutella toast

warm mittens

 and of course, that fire safety blanket.

that kept me warm those cold winter nights.

and was the epitome of design and class.

i'm so glad it got warm!
