With no vacation in sight (honeymoon? too far away) and two feet of snow on the ground, indulge me as I daydream.

Snow Day
We have more snow in Arkansas than I can ever remember – two feet. I’m not sure if it’s record-breaking, but it is definitely hard to get out the door. As much as I love being snowed in, it’s difficult to work from home and I’m wishing I had a partner in crime!
Even my snow-loving puppy was very confused.
I hope you’re having a good day, snowed in or otherwise!

Lady in Red
Wouldn’t this be perfect for V-day? I’ve been reading a lot lately how most men absolutely abhor Valentine’s day. Why? Is it really that bad? I understand it’s hard if you’re alone but what do those who are with someone hate so much about it. Feeling lucky that my main squeeze doesn’t mind taking me to dinner. I understand that it’s a BS holiday and that people shouldn’t show their love on only one day but I really don’t mind the standing dinner invite. It also happens to be our decided anniversary.

NYC/The Dress
NYC was wonderful. It was fabulous to be with friends and family and I felt very spoiled. I’m a bit exhausted today but so thrilled that I found the dress!

CHAOS
Hello…I’m super-busy at work today and I’m leaving for NYC tomorrow for a dress trying on/reunion/party extravaganza. See you again on Monday!
The Matchbook Girl
I am very intrigued by the idea of online magazines. First Lonny then Rue and now High Gloss and Matchbook. A few of my favorite bloggers have banded together to publish online. I LOVE that you can actually click on the things you love and go straight to them through the interwebs. And while I will always love physically holding and reading and keeping a favorite magazine, the online versions are very new and fun.
I very much enjoyed reading through Matchbook and I loved the “type of girl”they are reaching out to, I encourage you to look through any and all of them!

A Taste of NOLA
It’s practically a blizzard here. So, I decided to make a taste of New Orleans and Summer. Shrimp Remoulade. It was super-easy and turned out really well.
1.5 cup mayo
1/2 cup creole mustard
1 tbsp worchestershire
1 tsp hot pepper sauce
1/2 cup diced green onions
1/4 cup diced celery
2 tbsp minced garlic
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1/2 tbsp lemon juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
3 dozen shrimp
Combine and place wet ingredients in the refrigerator overnight. Add to shrimp before serving. Serves 6.
A Dreamy Wall of Shoes
When I moved into my new house, this is exactly what I had in mind. Instead, I got this:
(Why, yes…it is slanted)
Not quite the same…but you get the idea. I’m hoping in the next house I will get more of a shoe wall like Jane Keltner De Valle’s via The Coveted. More below…
