14 THINGS TO BINGE WATCH ON NETFLIX ON A SNOWDAY

We were supposed to get a nasty snow storm this past weekend.  It turned out to be just a dusting of snow.  This is SO typical of Kentucky–everyone on the news overestimates the snow fall and in turn everyone and their mom swarms Kroger and buys one of anything and everything they could possibly need for the next 10 months.  Just in case, you know!  Haha!  It’s true though, when we went to the grocery on Friday they were sold out of everything from sour cream to avocados and it was a MAD HOUSE!  

We ventured out of the house long enough Saturday to snap these photos and then it was straight back to the house to bundle up in my faux fur blanket.  I watched a couple more episodes of 90210 and Ethan made me an afternoon margarita since we had the ingredients on hand.  Not bad for a weekend day, huh?  This got me thinking about Netflix though and while I am sure the silly dramas like 90210 are not hight on everyones list, I feel like we have watched several things that you all would love.  So, I am sharing my suggested snow day binge watch list below!  Perfect timing too since we got more snow last night and the roads are completely covered again.  The list is in no specific order and includes everything from comedy to crime to fashion! 

  • WORMWOOD – an interesting story about some of the things the government has covered up over time, specifically the death of a scientist that was made to believe for years was a suicide
  • CHELSEA DOES – if you liked the late night Chelsea Handler show then or read her books then this is a must watch because she covers one interesting topic (racism, marriage, etc) per episode
  • SHOT IN THE DARK – a behind the scenes look at the people who stay awake all night and chase news stories in LA, filming everything from a high speed chase to a building fire to turn around and sell to the TV news stations
  • FRANCA: CHAOS AND CREATION – a very, very interesting documentary about the life work of the late Editor-in-Chief of Vogue Italia
  • BROADCHURCH – there’s three seasons of mystery from this British crime series and it will keep you guessing until the very last second
  • MADDMAN: THE STORY OF STEVE MADDEN – I haven’t actually seen this one but it is definitely on my watch list because I know the story of Steve Madden’s success is an interesting one
  • LONG SHOT – a documentary where the verdict of a criminal trial depends all on the evidence found on footage from a baseball game
  • THE FIRST MONDAY IN MAY – find out everything that goes into the planning and prep for the Met Gala
  • DIOR AND I – the full story behind the Christian Dior fashion house 
  • THE PEOPLE VS OJ SIMPSON – the series from FX detailing the OJ Simpson trial 
  • 9/11: TRUTH, LIES AND CONSPIRACIES – a look into several of the different theories behind what might have caused the terrible 9/11 attack
  • GAGA: FIVE FOOT TWO – an eye opening look into who Lady Gaga really is and the struggles that go into being an extremely creative person who leads a public life and still makes time to care deeply for those around her
  • THE CONFESSION TAPES – each episode tells the story of a crime but the confusing part lies in whether the confession that was given is true or not, is it false or was it forced upon someone by officials
  • YVES SAINT LAURENT – a look into life of the designer known as YSL as he leaves the House of Dior and begins to build his empire 

If you all have a suggestion on a Netflix watch that you think I would like after reading my list, be sure to share it with me!  I am always on the hunt for newbies to add to my watch list.  Thanks!!

C H E E R S to December!  We’re well into the holiday season now so my days are all about being as productive as possible so I can squeeze my favorite Christmas activities into my evenings and weekends.  Hence–a trip to Hillenmeyer Christmas Shop last weekend!  If you’re local then it’s a must.  It’s a magical little place where you do anything from design a fresh wreath for your front door to roast a marshmallow (or three) in the fireplace.

When we visited last Sunday it was chilly and misting/sprinkling.  The perfect excuse to pull out my Hunter boots and my new favorite beanie (couldn’t resist the red)!  Both would make perfect gifts!  I know I will be happy to have them when the snow really starts to fall around here this year.  Which is also why I have added these to my Christmas wish list! [I ordered my normal boot size, which is a half size up for me]

A pom pom hat has quickly become my very favorite winter accessory!  In fact, I already have this one in black and I went back for this festive color becuase I liked the fit so much and I know it’s warm.  This is the other one I have been wearing non-stop and these are the ones I still have my eye on:

I think they would make the perfect stocking stuffer or gift for any gal on your list becuase they ship for free and fit everyone.  No need to text anyone and say, “what size do you think I should buy her…” which is always a plus!

Oooh, and I can’t forget to mention this top.  It’s super soft so it will be perfect for layering this Winter.  In the meantime, I’ve just been doing oodles of lounging around the house in it too!

Which…..is exactly what I am about to do right now!  The Victoria Secret Fashion Show is calling my name!  Did you all watch?!

I am just as in love with these boots as I imagined I would be.  They are the perfect color–such a good warm neutral!  The slit in the back of the top of the leg makes them really comfy to wear (and sit down in) and I think they run true to size.

Confession: I had the cheapest pair of plain black suede OTK boots for the past couple years and I just kept wearing and wearing them because they paired so well with outfits.  So it was time for a replacement pair.  I love these and I am excited that they are waterproof!  They run small though–I would recommend sizing up a half to a whole size.

This jacket–fave purchase! I know I’ll be wearing it so much and I even love how to pairs with white now.  I was so, so pleased with the quality of this one when I got it in the mail.  It runs true to size.  Mine is an xs.

I finally caved and ordered these boots.  I have needed rain boots so many times and when I saw this style included in the sale I went for it.  Its a little nicer made than several of the other options and they had both navy and black.  I went with the black and I think they run true to size.  I did size up a half size just because that is what I would normally do when ordering rain boots so they are easy to get on and off and I have room for a thick sock.

Let me know if you all have any other questions about these items!  I’ll be happy to answer!

(&& yes, I was absolutely dying while shooting these looks on Saturday.  It was only a million degrees and at one point I looked at Ethan and said–“I may pass out”. Haha!)
