"Sad news about Ryan, isn&amp;amp;#8217;t it? I&amp;amp;#8217;m still reeling. I will miss reading him every day. Also, I don&amp;amp;#8217;t like change. I fear change. Enough things are changing already, like the stupid weather. I fear winter.Friday night, Sofia and I went to a party at the White Saffron boutique. We went to go see the owner, Ying, and to visit the brown bag I have a crush on. White Saffron sells cool things like this scarf that&amp;#x27;s blue fabric on one side and black leather on the other, and you can also turn it into a capelet or poncho. From there, I walked to Loreley to meet Casey for dinner. It was a freezing cold walk! Just the week before I was wearing flip-flops! Now I&amp;#x27;m in pants. Although I wasn&amp;amp;#8217;t too bummed about covering up my legs because I got a new pair of Recession Denim jeans; they fit like a glove and I didn&amp;amp;#8217;t have to hem them or anything. Casey noticed that they enhance my calf muscles. Bonus! I also got a mani-pedi this weekend with my friends, but pretty soon I&amp;#x27;ll be hiding these polished digits inside boots and gloves. Oh, winter dating, how I dread thee. Feast your eyes on this mani before I stick it in my pocket! In the winter, when you have a date, you can&amp;amp;#8217;t help showing up with a red nose, watery eyes, dry skin, hat-head, wind-frazzled hair, runny nose, frozen cheeks, and slurred speech. And there is not enough makeup in New York to cover up a red nose. It just can&amp;amp;#8217;t be done. Anyway, it&amp;amp;#8217;s not quite that cold yet. Casey and I walked to a bar and met up with a friend and his girlfriend. I really haven&amp;amp;#8217;t been out with another couple, like in a double date-ish situation, in AGES. It was nice. I enjoyed myself. It was just for a pint, but it warmed me up! What&amp;amp;#8217;s your favorite and least favorite thing about winter dating? Do you wear hats when you go out with guys? Have you been on a double date lately? More Ways to Get Glamour You could win $50,000 just for registering for or logging in to Glamour.com!
