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.
Running errands, making plans, enjoying friends and sharing our big news…

We’re engaged! I am still in shock, completely. My sweet (fiancé – gahhh!) Robert asked me to get hitched on Friday night. I was totally surprised. My mom was in on it and lured me out to the Fayetteville square on the guise of taking family photos. He was completely caught off guard when the square was full of people, horse-draw carriages and even camels. We started walking around and he told me I was the love of his life – to which I said “you’re the love of my life too babe!” I did not get it until he dropped to one knee. I couldn’t believe it and collapsed onto him, hugging him. We are out-of-this world excited. His family honored me with his Great-Grandmother’s ring. Many more details to come!

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?

I rhymed! I think I post about girls looking fabulous in winter garb at least once per day. Only because I think it’s a far greater feat to look fabulous while braving the elements. Most style-conscious women can look adorable/lovely/chic in the summer with the zip of a simple dress, a few baubles and a tan.

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.

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
