Running Scared
All everyone is talking about today is the ‘historic’ winter blizzard headed our way.
That’s the big news and everyone is freaking out accordingly.
But I don’t get it.
It’s Winter.
Snow happens in Winter.
Blizzards happen in Winter.
What is that alarming?
Did you really think we were going to make it through Winter without shoveling at least once?
When I managed to get out of bed yesterday, this is what I wore to run around with the rest of these terrified morons, panicking about bread and gas.
I was aiming for comfort, 4 large parsnips and a bag of baby brussel sprouts.
Comfort food! — yum! I’m going for a nice snow day of food, movies and relaxation. I’m with you, why the panic? It’s winter!
Ok!?
I swear if I was any good at skiing, I’d come crash at your place.
Oh my God would we do it right though…
LOL I love your writing style, you’re funny and catty (in a good way.) You also seem pretty intelligent. Plus, those sunglasses look killer on you. xox
Thank you Ms. Maverick!
You’ve got a pretty neat blog yourself so let’s keep this little thing we’ve got, going 😀
I love those boots – that look great! Maybe you will be snowed inside and can just while away the days by cooking for comfort?!
Yes…that is exactly what they’re saying will happen, therefore that is exactly what I intend to do.
With my whisky.. you knew that was coming 😀
I miss the snow 😦 so I kinda find it annoying when people are worried about it too. Even though this does look comfortable, it doesn’t look lazy like what I might wear in the snow! Lol
Hahah!
You miss the snow?
Let’s trade places until March.
I’ll be FL (trying not to get shot) and you’ll be up here shoveling your little heart out lol.
Oh and don’t forget about the 50+ mph winds that everyone keeps reminds us MAY (which = most likely will) cause power outages.
Yes…good old snowy Boston…
SMDH lol
Ha! I totally agree. Never understood the freak out. I mean, it’s not 1910 when you might not be able to get to the store for 2 weeks.
Right?
Like come on folks.
You’ll be back to work the day after it stops because your company ain’t having all that “i’m gonna be snowed in till Sat’ bullshit, so calm the fuck down and act right.
Simply chic and very cool background.
Thank you beautiful!
xxooo
You’ll be happy to know that given the rather paltry amount of snow falling in Baltimore, the local newscasters were instead reporting on snowfalls north of us. It was rather hilarious.
At least it won’t be that horrifying lake-effect snow that Buffalo got late last year! Now THAT is a terrifying amount of snow.
Of course.
Naturally they were.
It’s fucking breaking news everywhere lol.
But yes you’re right…at least it won’t be that cuz girrrrll…
uh uh.
Dana, that hips don’t lie…lol. You are always so cool my love. And what is this crazy weather when it is getting better around here? Have a fab week my lovely.
Much Love,
Mojisola
Hahahaha!
Oh girl, you know..you know how we do 😀
Thanks love, I think i’ll make snow angels tonight 😀
xooo
You looks amazing
Aw thank you beautiful!
Hope you’re keeping warm wherever you are!
xxooo
Yea I am trying to. Looking forward to spring.
Yes lord.
Omg you should see the Bay Area when it RAINS let alone snow I don’t know what people would do!
Ok. This outfit though! Are those jeans or leggings? And the color and fit of that sweater is perfect it looks so comfy! I’m still trying to find that sweet spot between spandex tight American Apparel turtleneck and big oversized sweater turtleneck.

Oh girl, I don’t even wanna imagine.
Remember last year when it snowed in the south and folks were literally trapped in their car for 17 hours!!!
HOUREEERS.
Fuck all that.
And yes I know what you mean.
I actually wanna stock up on the tight American Apparel ones myself…I realized I don’t have enough casual ho-gear.
Okay, so you already know that I love reading your blog and you should also know that it makes me THAT weird girl who laughs to herself in her cube at work. So, thanks for that. 🙂
Also, I enjoy reading your blog so much that I’ve nominated you for the Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award! You can find out what that all means by going to the post I’ve shared: http://babblingcbrooks.com/2015/01/26/sisterhood-of-the-world-bloggers-award/
Oooh shiiiiiit!
Got myself an award!
That’s awesome Ms. Brooks!! Thank you!!
:* <3333
Not a problem, you deserve it 🙂
_Parsnips_? You”re insane. Though, certainly, dressed well ;p
(Srsly, please, give us a recipe for parsnips that make them not instantly vomit-inducing. Blaaaachhhh.)
Hehehehe, You’re gonna the hate the parsnip puree I’m featuring then lol
You were always too smart to follow the sheeple 😜. Nice get up.
You know I really gotta work on my temper….it’s not getting any more tolerant lol
I’ve never understood winter freaking out. It’s negative asshole degrees? It’s January, guys. You’re about to be impaled with a TON of snow? IT’S STILL JANUARY! ugh. [/endrant] Still, great outfit! Hopefully we get to hear what is becoming of those parsnips and brussels sprouts?
Thank you!
Thank.
You!
Un fucking real.
And yes, parsnips & brussel sprouts coming to a media device near you on Wed 😀
So I’ve heard you’re having problems with winter down there in Boston 😀 but it’s still January right? And from what I know the winter can get pretty serious in Boston- but maybe get something else apart from those veggies? Just saying…
Hahahaha!
Girl you know I gotta eat clean.
Less winter weight to work off, especially since I HAAAAAATE working out.
We are having that same action here. OMG OMG OMG it’s a blizzard coming…meanwhile it’s barely snowing right now. People will be in the market buying bread and toilet paper like they will never leave meanwhile you should already have toilet paper (but that’s not my business lol) You slayed even on your simple day boo!
Hahaha!
None of your business but you know they got it lol.
Is that what happens?
People take bigger dumps when its blizzard time?
LMAO
Must be the case because they clear out the toilet paper and bread aisle like they will never leave home…😒 get on my damn nerves!
hahahaha!
Snow? What is snow? If we had snow in San Diego it’s safe to say we’d freak out because it clearly means the end of the world is near. I’m digging this simply chic look.

What’s up Carmen!
Yeah, I hear you…I can’t win being out here like this.
Can’t fucking win lol
xxooo
With your stylish get up, parsnips and Brussel sprouts you can laugh in the face of any potential monster storm/blizzard/onset of the ice age.
Indeed!
And that is precisely what I plan to do 😀
You’ve got the right attitude my darling daughter! I mean it is winter even down here in Atlanta when it gets a little cold people are saying pooh I miss the warm weather ! I said, ‘you’ll get warm weather in the spring – summer …,this is winter… dah! I love those practical booties you’re wearing !
Mom!!
Hey!!
I’m gonna call you crying when the power goes out 🙂
I honestly can’t imagine anything better than being forced to stay inside for a few days. I could do all the things I love without feeling guilty that I should be doing other, more important things!
Ha!!
I agree, it’s not that bad.
That’s another reason I don’t get all the panic.
Ri-diculous.
😀
I love the sunglasses and shoes!

Hey Kat!!
Thank you beautiful!
And thank you for stopping by my blog!
xxooo
Hahaha. I swear you read my mind. I was thinking the same thing. It’s been snowing for years. Winter + Weather = Possibility of Snow. Nothing new! Am I missing something? LOL. Love it when you speak your mind! #RealTalk
Girl…these people are driving me insane.
That’s when I turn out Real Housewives and go dumb for the next hour 😀
xooo
Casual and effortless look, absolutely amazing. You always look amazing 🙂 Kiss, Mel

Thanks beautiful!!
Love and hugs babygirl :*
xxooo
Blizzard or not, you look so effortlessly beautiful in these pictures. Simplicity fits you well!
Aw thank you Amy!
You’re the best 😀
And now it’s over, it wasn’t all that. Just a bunch of attention grabbing media blitz. I could say a lot more but I didn’t put a disclaimer on my thoughts 😉
Oh It’s over where you’re at?
We’re in the thick of things over here, cars are buried and it’s still ongoing. It’s not even 2pm.
Central Ohio, in Columbus. I was supposed to drive to Delaware on Monday for the week but cancelled my trip. Damn it!
Effortlessly great look! Those boots though!!
❤ J.Frost!

Thanks Vanessa!!
They’re one of my favs 😀
Wow…I wish I look that good while running around for bread and water with an impending blizzard looming large in the distance…oh wait. I do! Hahaha! Those with flawless style must stick together LOL. Seriously though, you look amazing! Effortless and stylish…a one, two punch! 🙂
Hahahahah!
Oh I love you!!!
🙂
You look so effortlessly glam!
😀
Thank you Jenn babygirl!
😀 <333
Didn’t even read it, came straight here to let you know you’re such a nice shape, Dana👌💕
Ok, I’ll go read the post now 😉
Aww 😀
xxooo
That simple yet functional yet sassy yet chic yet ready outfit compliments you smartly. Simple pleasures are the best. NICELY DONE!
Shucccks 😀
You’re gonna melt the snow looking like that!
Bummed we didn’t get much down here. The weather people were all over the place with the forecasts. Canceled advisories and then we got 1/2″. I want one good one this winter!
What!?
Half an inch??
That’s such a disappointment!
It is going DOWN here…i’m talking cars buried.
I don’t think I want that much. Just enough to spend a snow day at home in front of the fire. Be safe!
LOL i hear you. What an overblown panic that was.
We got hit bad, but I so agree with you. 3 feet is nothing to panic about. Really…
I think it’s a carrot soup day!
Ooh, now that’s an idea!
Did it snow a lot in Boston? It barely snowed here in Jersey about 6-9″. All that hoopla about nothing! You look beautiful. I like how the bold red background makes you stand out 🙂
Thanks Giselle!!
We got about 3 and a half feet in my neighborhood.
All powdery stuff so more of a nuisance than a panic.
LOL. How did i miss this? You look sexy in casual comfort wear! That waist is snatched boo 🙂 ❤ About the weather panic, It's even worse here in England. The slightest hint of snow gets everyone panicking. Oh dear.

Hahaha!
Thanks babygirl!
How much snow is typical for you guys over there in Winter?
Oh, you look fabulous! Love, love, love this look! So gorgeous!
xoxo, Vanessa

Really love the photos: choosing a minimal background to put attention to you, the poses, especially the ones in the first and last photo, and well, the outfit 🙂
Thank you!!
And thank you for stopping by!
xxxxooo
What’s so alarming? Those f*cking amazing shoes! Hahaha. That’s actually what I said in my head. I’m an idiot. Seriously, though. Those shoes. I would love to own those. So rad. You look fantastic and I admire your ability to look warm in a light sweater and leggings. Haha. ❤

Do you ever do collaborations with other bloggers peeps?
Hahaha! I like that, suffer for only a little bit and then only periodically after that. And yes I do. I actually am publishing one this Friday 😁😁
