Christmas, Cupcakes and Cats

I love this Holiday themed editorial, especially the stilettos in the fridge! Hilary Rhoda is one of my favorite brunettes and I am totally going to try to recreate her look for at least one Christmas party. Maybe I can finally utilize my bump-it?

Zara Wishlist

I may have mentioned my intense love/hate relationship with stores like Zara and H&M. While I love them dearly, I am prohibited from shopping them because of where I live (yes, Arkansas). Happily, I will be going to Dallas next weekend to visit my wonderful Aunt Ann. She is always amenable to shopping with me and has taken me to the loveliest little vintage shops. This time I’m going prepared…with a shopping list…for Zara!

Subtle Christmas

This gorgeous Swedish home is decorated just enough for my taste. There are subtle and thoughtful touches everywhere but none of the typical, overwhelming cheese that seems to accompany most decor I see. First of all, the home is quite chic on its own and the seemingly effortless air has carried over into holiday decorations. Just lovely.

Busy Friday…

It’s a very busy day at my office. Lots of meetings, preparations and holiday parties. Later, the long day will melt into evening and a million possibilities for frivolity…
