A Snowy Winter!

 Woke up Saturday morning to the most wonderful snow I have seen in years! Lucky me I was at my parents house and our whole backyard was covered with a white fluffy blanket of snow. I really wanted to take some photos with the snowy background so I dashed for whatever I could find around my parents house. Lucky me I had brought my Anthropology dress  a couple of weeks ago due to wanting to make more space in my own closets for the winter seasonal stuff. I accessorized it with a couple of things that I found in my old closets and here is the result.

Dress: Anthropology

Crinoline: Vintage
Fur Coat: Vintage 

Tights: American Apparel

Shoes: Aldo

Gloves: Aldo

 Hat: Le Chateau

Bag: London Fog

As to my red hair... let me assure it is not red! Before leaving for Halifax I put red henna in my hair to give my mousy brown locks a bit of a reddish sheen. The results though are nowhere near as bright as these pictures show. My hair is just a chestnut brown at this moment. In playing with the contrasting effects , the redder turned brighter than it actually is. Nonetheless I am rather pleased with how my hair looks and I am currently thinking of actually getting it professionally coloured to match the pictures. Due to my skin tone, red hair has never really been a possibility that has crossed my mind. These pictures seem to show otherwise!

P.S. Expect a lot of  snowy backgrounds in my future posts as it has been announced that this is the coldest winter Vancouver has ever seen!
