Sisters

What a lovely Christmas! The best part was the time I got to spend with my family. I am so very blessed.

P.S. I finally got red lipstick :)

White Christmas

I am currently watching White Christmas for the third time in two days. I may be slightly obsessed with it. Several things keep going through my mind while I watch:
1) It is such a shame that people don't dress like that any more. They have a class and sophistication that is lost in today's society.
2) Every time I see Vera Ellen dance, I wish that I had continued dance lessons. I'm thinking of taking up tap again.
3) I'm not usually much of a lipstick wearer, but I suddenly feel the need to find the perfect red lipstick.

Home for the Holidays

Currently, I am sitting in my living room with the Christmas tree lights lit and a cozy cup of coffee. The Closer is on tv and I am surrounded by Christmas cookbooks trying to pick out the most delectable recipes to bake for my family.
I am home.
After a whirlwind week filled with Christmas festivities including a Christmas parade, Christmas shopping, and Roommate Christmas, finals, and packing, I am finally home for the holidays.
And it feels so nice :)

Hope yall have had a delightful week!

A Tiffany Blue Christmas: part deux

I just discovered another photo from the Tiffany's holiday ad campaign, along with a photo from an older ad campaign. Each are stunning.

A Tiffany Blue Christmas

The new pictures for Tiffany's holiday campaign are absolutely stunning. I'll take the snow, the guy, and whatever is in that little blue box of course :)

Holiday Inspiration

A DIY I will definitely be trying when I get home; fancy mantle; pretty centerpiece; snowflake ornament

I believe

Last night, my family and I watched the 1994 version of Miracle on 34th Street. It is definitely one of my favorite Christmas movies. It has such a classic feel to it. The wardrobe, especially that of the little girl's, is so elegant and refined. Every time I watch it I want expensive looking silk, monogrammed pajamas. This movie always puts me in such a Christmas spirit...and it helps that Dylan McDermott is so dreamy :)
