' Let it Snow....Let it Snow.... ,

Snow fell expectedly this week, creating a white blanket all over the country. What I like about snow is, it almost makes everything look equal. It makes me think of how, for this one instance, almost everything is dressed in the same white canvas, as if reminding us, we're all in the same home under one roof. It creates a sense of togetherness and wonder.

Did you know : Snow is made up of many many fragile tiny symmetrical snowflakes. Almost each one of them is perfectly symmetrical - which makes it even more beautiful knowing this...

Read more about the chemistry of snowflake here - you'll learn a few intriguing things =P.

Surrey was greeted with heavy snow on Tuesday this week.

The day after it was reported 4-7 inches of snow fell in that region! Unfortunately, I couldn't make my way there to capture more pictures.

I can't stop feeling anything but mesmerised watching trees gracefully carrying snow on their branches.

This came out blurry but I had to put this here because it's one of my favourite pictures taken.

Festive trees!

The best picture I was able to capture.

London welcomed heavy snowfall the next day....!

A children's playground.

A festive hut by the riverside.

One of the Xmas huts by the riverside selling knits. Looking cosy..... I can imagine working there sipping a hot chocolate...

Choosing some Ear muffs =P - I got 2 ear muffs from here.

Ear muffs are a must have accessory this winter! Very cold ears can hurt... so unless you have a hoody, a thick scarf or a snood, invest in some fluffy ear muffs for this winter and future ones to come by.
3 of my ear muffs are featured below.

More festive huts aligned alongside the river Thames.

These apples were delicious but costly... so as a one-off treat =P I say... go for it!

Picnic in the snow? ^.^

Or maybe some coffee overlooking the riverside?

Glimpse of a park covered in snow.

Covent Garden was greeted with snow...

And that's all about it! Hope you enjoyed browsing through those pictures!

I'm a Hunter's Boot...!

I got treated to these Hunter boots I've been wanting for almost a year now! And guess how satisfied I am with them.....! I got some TopShop wellies last autumn - they were totally unreliable. Only used those for 3 months or so before they had to be thrown away...

~Liking the presentation of the box.~

The picture taken above is too dark to see the writings below. As you can see, Hunter is a reputable brand - so it's £55 for a reason =) (£55 for wellies in my opinion is quite costly, since other non-Hunter brands are on average £20).

You can rest assured that its soles will grip slippery surfaces well - this will be handy for the approaching winter months too.

The lining is inside is soft and comfortable.

And then...here are its fabulous Hunter fleece socks! They are quite costly too (I think £15ish? In proportion to the price of the boot, I think it's quite pricey). Because wellies are rubber, they might get very cold during the winter months, so these socks will transform your Hunters into cosy wellies =)

I prefer the short boots to the long ones because of my height and also because long boots seem to heavy duty to me. If London had Canada's snowy winter, I'd opt for the long boots. Otherwise, long boots give me an impression of a jockey about to go on a horse ride or someone about to do some gardening (haha...!).

Also, I had to choose between the glossy black and the matte black - I chose matte. I found the glossy to be too tacky and cheap looking (but that's just my taste =P). Matte seemed more neutral and easy on the eye (and outfits!).

I'm thinking of getting this to go along with my Hunter boots...just to top it all off...! Although now, I've to make a decision on whether this pouch is more suited for long boots (what do you think?).
