After all of the celebrations, it is finally time to come back to work. I’m sorry it’s been so long since I last posted. With the engagement and the holidays, it’s been crazy! I can’t believe I am going to start planning a wedding now. I’ll try not to gush over it too much. But…I can’t promise anything.



Remember when I shared that I had acquired the sweetest puppy, Birdie? Cue the cutie-cute puppy pics…
Little baby!
Meeting her “daddy dog”
Well now baby Birdie is a big girl! 40lbs! She is happy and healthy and still the cutest thing ever (in my opinion anyway).
For Halloween, she was a witchy-woman.
With her brother, Mr. Wiggs
More Birdie here! Sorry…I’m a proud mama.

Dear Readers,
All three of you…I hope you have a fabulous Thanksgiving holiday. I wish everyone was able to take off most of the week like me. I know you’re jealous if you are not one of those people. I know I would be if I were you. However, even though you begrudge my time off, you cannot take it away from me. For that and for you, I am thankful.
I must tell you I will probably take a hiatus from posting as often as I like to in regular life in favor of drinking wine on someone’s couch mid-day while watching soapnet, forcing my brothers to listen to my music or “helping my mom cook” which also entails magazine reading and perusing her closet. Also, there will be plenty of time spent in the tub (see etsy).

While I’m away, do a few things for me.

And…if you’re interested in some of my favorite posts of late
Isabeli Fontana does tweed and it hurts so good here
I’m obsessed with Kim Noorda or did you already know, here
Laetitia Casta has the best hair I’ve ever seen here
Taylor Tomasi Hill’s style here
And Giovanna Battaglia inspires us all here

Love from the tub,

Here’s hoping we all have magical weekends complete with frivolity and fun. I’m feeling heady with the promise of a few days off next week surrounded by friends and family. My beau is whisking me off to South Arkansas where we will eat, drink, go to an island in the Mississippi River, sit by the fire and inevitably see Harry Potter. This weekend looks to be the very last warm one we’ll have before we slip into holiday season and look forward to Spring.
