Monkeying Around

February 1, 2016 by jessica 16 Comments

Monkeying-Around-6

If you’ve followed my blog for any length of time, you’ll know that I don’t particularly enjoy wearing pants — and it’s especially true in the winter. I rely on a uniform of skirts or dresses, tights, and wellies to keep my real shoes safe from precipitation and road salt. I know Hunter boots get a lot of criticism for being worn in colder months. And, no, rubber isn’t exactly the warmest material. However, when they’re paired with thick hiking socks (and a short walk to the car from my apartment and office), they’re really not that bad for a Wisconsin winter.

One of the best things about starting a new year is a chance to enjoy the gorgeous gifts received over the holidays! I certainly don’t want to be part of the sickening “holiday haul” posts (you’d think everyone would realize that the best part of the holidays is spending time with loved ones), but I do want to share just how well my boyfriend did with this J.Crew peacoat. I tend to wear my coats on repeat until they fall apart, so it’s nice to have an alternative to the green coat I’ve been wearing nonstop since last autumn (which, by the way, is indestructible). Paired with my beloved neoprene skirt and a striped shirt, I feel like I should be exploring London’s Notting Hill instead of hanging out in Madison.

I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog of travel photos before we book our next trip. First up, photos of the gothic York Minster. I’m not religious in the slightest but I can’t resist stunning architecture and the opportunity to climb hundreds of cathedral stairs for a city view. This one only had a single rest stop about halfway up the flight of 275 steps for a closeup view of the flying buttresses — and a waiver you had to sign before your ascent to promise you’re healthy enough to make it.

Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Hal Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Halloween spirit. While it claims to be the most haunted place in Europe and is dubbed the city of a thousand ghosts, we only encountered the wire-mesh sculptures of Ghosts in the Gardens (@the_york_bid) and the family of souvenir ghosts I brought home from @yorkghostmerchants.
