Welcoming Winter

Welcoming Winter

Happy first day of winter! I know the winter can be long and hard but I think there are definitely some things to look forward to this season.

Freshly fallen snow can be oh so pretty and don't you just love all of the cold weather accesories. I know that I can't get enough of snuggly scarves and collars and mittens and gloves.

You won't hear any complaints here. At least until the third week of January. Isn't that when it all gets really old and dreams of warmer places starting taking over?

Have wonderful day, lovelies! xoxo

Baby, It's Cold Outside

Baby, It's Cold Outside

Happy Wednesday, darlings! What a week it's been. Sorry if I didn't stop by your place yesterday. I've been busy with all of the Christmas preparations...shopping in the absolute freezing cold, decorating the house, trying to decide what else I need to buy and what on earth I will serve my company next week for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. And on top of it all, I've yet to even write out cards or wrap a single present.

How are you all doing with the holiday preparations? Am I the only one with a lot left to do?

Hope you're all having a wonderful week and for those of you experiencing the cold, I hope you're staying warm!

Warm & Toasty

Warm & Toasty

Days like these I just want to #1 - layer on all of the warm & cozy layers and/or #2 - just stay indoors! Unfortunately neither of those choices are possible right now because I have to go to work. I mean I did just miss a week of work and also I still, unbelievably, have yet to take out my winter clothes! I know it's hard to believe but I didn't want to put away my summer clothes to have to take them out for vacation. So here I am, already a week into December with no warm clothes. Good thing I have my winter coat, hat, scarves & gloves.

For those of you experience the frigid weather, I hope you're staying nice and warm. And for all of you lucky enough to be in warmer climates please send some warmth our way :) xoxo

Early Winter Inspiration {Blanco}

Early Winter Inspiration {Blanco}

It's November, there's a chill in the air, and I'm finally starting to get excited for winter and the festive party season. And Blanco's Winter 2010 campaign certainly helps me get into the mood. Even though the weather turns cooler, I always find myself dressing up in November and December. I think I like to pull out some last minute polish before the long winter sets in. Blouses, pencil skirts, and pumps. I go way more structured and lady-like than you'll find me in February. And I think I'm finally ready to break out the red lip. Just loving everything about these looks!

The Winter Blues

The Winter Blues

Happy Tuesday, lovelies. How are you all doing this week? For us here in the Northern Hemisphere it feels like winter will never end. And that kinda tends to make people a little blue. Everyone I speak to has admitted to having a bit of the winter blues this year. And I've heard it more than usual.

I admit I'm one of them. I mean it's not horrible...I'll get over it. It's just that time of year. And not to help matters, as I've said before, I've been staying indoors a lot. I mean nothing's better than not having anything to do on the weekend. Problem is I often start to get a little down on myself for being so lazy and for doing absolutely nothing but sit on the couch, watch tv and eat.

But I'm changing my attitude from here on in. I'm thinking it's really time to start indulging in that little luxury. I mean how often is it that you really get the time to do it? Warmer days will be here before I know it....it is February already...and my calender will fill up rather quickly. So for now I'm going to enjoy the idleness while I can.

Hope you all have a wonderful day! xoxo

Wonderful Winter Weekend

Wonderful Winter Weekend

Happy Friday, lovelies. This is what I felt like when I looked out the window this morning. Can you guess why?....

Yes it's snowing again here in NYC. What else is new these days? I feel like I live in Canada which would be cool. It's actually something I've always wanted to do but the problem is, I'm not living in Canada. I'm here in the States.

Anyway, I'm remaining upbeat today because it is the weekend afterall. Who cares about snow? I can always go out and play and have a snowball fight, right? That should make for a fun weekend :)

So what are you all doing this weekend? Hope you have a fabulous one! xoxo
