Brrrrr...it's starting to get cold but this LA girl is ready for it! Well, at least I'm trying to convince myself that I am. I've quickly learned the value of thick wool sweaters, my leather fleece-lined gloves now permanently reside in my purse for emergency chills, and I'm actually considering buying earmuffs for the first time in my life. Though I might be singing a different tune come January, right now I'm pretty excited to live in a place that has a real winter. Perhaps we'll have a white Christmas? Please, Santa?
