This is one of the most photographed, painted, and recognizable spots in New Hampshire, and - incidentally- right down the road from my house in Maine. I had Chris stop for photos when we were making the rounds on Christmas day. Christmas is always a little hectic for us, we grew up about 20 minutes away from one another which means we have A LOT of family to visit on holidays and it's never a simple task to see all of them. This year I made sure we slowed down at least a little, a least to take some photos! This lake is one of my favorite spots. I went to summer camp for 9 years right across the street, and when I was in high school me and my friends would often swim across it to swing on the rope hanging off a tree on the other side. These are the things I miss most about living in rural Maine and New Hampshire, depending on the season there's always a lake with a rope swing for swimming or a cleared off icy spot for ice skating.
I'm not usually one for dressing up for the holidays. I always have the best of intentions- this sale made it hard to resist all things sparkly- but in reality the snow and cold make sweaters pretty hard to resist! I decided to make some kind of effort though, even if the outfit is something I've been wearing a lot lately. Yes, it's pretty much the same outfit as this one, but instead of jeans I added some amazing suede shorts. I almost passed over these suede beauties, thinking that for the price they must be ultra-suede (faux), but they're real and I love them! Leather is a great material for winter, despite being shorts they held in warmth like no other and kept me toasty throughout our Christmas travels.

It makes me nervous looking at you on that ice, but I LOVE the sweater/jacket you're wearing! :)
how pretty!
you always look so cute.
This outfit is gorgeous. Your childhood sounds amazing, wow.
Suede is such a sexy material! It feels like a million bucks.
Where I went for a pre-Christmas break, the river was frozen all the way across. A couple more inches, and the residents would start driving on it. It's invigorating to step out onto all that ice, as if I'm trespassing on a part of the world I wasn't supposed to experience--but mother nature let me do so for a short time.
Hope you're having fun!
I adore this look, it's one of my favorites!

How beautiful, but I hope your toes didn't get too cold! My mother gave me a pair of plum coloured tights for Christmas just like the ones you're wearing here, I can't wait to style them into an outfit.
The landscape is absolutely beautiful! =] I love your tights.
what a gorgeous location! so quaint!
hope you and chris had a great holiday! :)
The scenery is amazing... it looks like a wonderful place to grow up.
Gorgeous setting and outfit. Where in NH is this? I've never been.
That lake is beautiful, as well as your outfit. Makes me want to live in Maine even more...
Always loved maroon tights.

I love the mix of colours you're wearing and the shorts and tights together are fab.
That outfit is so KILLER! Oh to be young again - I don't think I can wear shorts (even with tights) any longer. But you look BEAUTIFUL and the scenery only enhances the picture. Happy New Year!

Wow! It must be SO cold for it to be safe to stand on the lake. They're frozen over here, but I don't trust them to hold a person...

Ahh gorgeous. Hearing you talk about New Hampshire makes me happy. :D I love this outfit. The browns & burgundy are so beautiful together- really warm & rich.
Love the suede shorts! I am sitting here in some leather ones now and was just thinking that I need another pair for winter.
