I'm rather a fan of excess, you may have noticed. In clothing (colour colour colour! sparkles!), in life (lived in four countries last year), in holidays (wine, baileys, port, cookies, cakes, cheese, Christmas dinner)... you get the point. But the first days of January are definitely a time for taking a breath and attempting to calm down a bit on the excess. Time for jeans and a cozy sweater. Time for piling your hair on your head in a no-nonsense style. Time for taking stock of future plans. We just won't mention the "café con baileys" I had for breakfast this morning.

Here's to clean beginnings. It looks good on you. Love your hair. xoxo
1. I LOVE your sweater. It's never not a good time for animal sweaters.
2. It kind of reminds me of this picture of Elijah Wood that's been floating around on tumblr:

Love it!
Cheers to the calm and stillness of January. It's always nice to reclaim normal life back again during the few weeks that follow the December festivities.
Such a cute outfit!
you look lovely :)

Nothing like jeans and a cozy AND lovely sweater to relax! I admire you cause dispite of all the traveling and stuff you update your blog very often, that shows how commited you are with it, and we really appreciate it! Loving the shoes too!

Your cozy sweater looks really cute and I bet is way comfy...although café con baileys has a way of making everything feel way comfy
I am loving your photos lately! Can you wear your hair like that all the time? That is the one hairstyle I want to grow my hair for but my hair is too thick and wouldn't stay up... So instead, I must stare enviously at yours!
I feel like that about January too, it's a time to think about last year, think about the future, and especially relax from all the December madness. I just wish I could be relaxing in the snow!! Well not literally in the snow, but you know... The weather is is so mild I am getting bored, I got my Dr Martens especially for snowy/icy times and they're nowhere around here!
I love your relaxed but cute outfit, the sweater and jeans is a great winter combo, but I am just wandering how the hell are your feet not freezing without socks! :p
@Raquel: well, I stayed in most of the day. Later we went out to a nearby town, but I wore my snowboots, as I'm not suicidal! : D
@Julia: haha, that's a classic! I think my sweater's better though. : )
Wooowwww...great look dear! I love your sweater! It's fantastic!

That's a great sweater! I actually quite like January, perfect for new beginnings and relaxation.
I think your jumper is my favourite festive jumper I've seen! It's gorgeous and looks ridiculously comfy.

I love your hair! Happy New Year.
Super cute sweater! And I feel exactly the same way. January feels like a time to breathe and relax, but I think I'm going to try to be as productive as possible since I have had a pretty lazy December.
I really adore your heels, as well!

The sweater is just wonderful...and worth risking the chill air.
This is lovely. The sweater looks super cozy, and I've had my eye out for shoes like that for a while now.

Beautiful outfit! Loks comfy. :)
One thing I love about January is looking back at everything that happened last year, and everything that I hope will happen this year. It just makes me so happy. <3
Love your shoes! I'm after a very similar pair at the moment. x
Love your hair style ! xx
I think that may just be the perfect festive sweater, it's so cute! In love with your shoes too!

Those jeans fit you like a glove- I'm jealous. I've been on a jeans hunt lately to no avail. Also that sweater is so perfectly January and cozy! I love it.
I agree that though I tend to be a fan of excess, I appreciate the calm and fresh start that the new year brings. I'm looking forward to laying low for a while and simplifying life.
I love your outfit! Looks lovely and snowy :-) xxx
brrrr this post made me cold just reading it. i'm keen on the sweater, perfect for the weather. it's not as cold here but we're trying
Fantastic sweater! It just started snowing tonight & I really wish I had one similar.
Geeez that's freezing! How do you adapt going from Spain to Canada? Yikes!
That sweater looks itchy.
But cute!
That jumper is too cute! :) x
You look so cute! Happy New Year Emily!

If every January day could boast an outfit like this life would be perfect. Looking good, Emily!
P.S. All Emilys should have reindeer sweaters, don't you think? :)
This deer sweater is absolutely fabulous and I love the heels! You are looking gorgeous! Thanks so much for the comment on my blog!
