The Summer’s Out of Reach

NYC is currently in a deep freeze. And it’s not cute.

I woke up this morning, turned on Good Morning America, noticed that it was 7 degrees outside and quickly changed my plans for the day opting for full hibernation mode. I don’t think I could endure 7 degrees if I layered every piece of fur, feather, wool, cashmere and fleece from my wardrobe. Not to mention, combined, my dog and I barely make up 100 lbs. so I decided that since we are both so small and delicate it wasn’t safe for us to go out into such inclement conditions.

I’m glad I spent the day indoors. I hear that it’s no joke out there.

I did manage to be productive from the warm confines of my apartment, which makes me feel extra good about deciding not to brave the painfully low temperatures. I also spent a fair amount of time listening to songs that make me nostalgic for sunshine days…

And suddenly, I found myself longing for the two things that I love most about summer: wayfarers and water…

If you’ve had enough of the cold, I recommend turning up the heat and throwing on some summer clothes, all while blasting your favorite songs of summer.  I’ve had this one on repeat all day:

Summer, I miss you!  Please come back to me.  Soonish. I love you so much!
