So if you've been watching the news, you may have heard about a small storm called Sandy making her way up the East Coast. NYC is directly in her path. I was hunkered down in my apartment with my dog, along with random foodstuffs I bought in a panic at the grocery store and a six pack of Modelo I thought was essential when I saw everyone else in line grabbing beer to add to their carts. Don't worry Mom, I also bought a gallon of water. But then I got bored, so I grabbed a car over to Lauren's to wait out the storm in her company. Now we're holed up in her apartment waiting it out together!

These pics were clearly NOT taken today, but over the weekend when there were brief patches of a sunny sky over Brooklyn. With the storm on it's way the weekend was unseasonably warm (last year at exactly this time, it snowed) so Lauren was able to go outside sans tights. The rugged boots take this nighttime dress down a notch and make it perfect for daytime carousing.

PS. If you're in Sandy's path, stay safe! We'll be back blogging on the other side of this thing.
