Ascot Friday

Merry Christmas.. [holiday card]

Have a wonderful holiday! I am headed to Colorado to spend time with Bryan's family. (in the freezing cold! I know 20 degree weather is nothing to most, but to me that is very chilly!)

I love when this happens... [thrifted]

I found these shoes at the thrift store last week, and initially I was on the fence. Did I really need another pair of shoes? But the price tag of $2.50 was just too tempting.

Imagine my excitement when I saw this similar shoe here . I love when that happens!

This is Mr. Fairbanks. I thought it was about time to introduce you to him. He is a 5 year old Brussels Griffon, super smart and a great companion. I have always been a dog lover,and we chose this breed because of their stylish yet unusual look. And the name? Any dog who naturally has a beard deserves a title wouldn't  you agree?

dear Santa... [wish list pt.1]

with 9 days until Christmas I thought I would share my Christmas wish list with you... 

you know my obsession with my new brown ankle boots, I thought these would make a great addition:

  (too bad my size is sold out! at least I won't be disappointed on Christmas morning)

giveaway winner....

oh and she also has a super cute blog! check it out here.. 

Thanks to everyone who entered! I loved hearing what is on your wish lists. Check back tomorrow for my wish list!!

Cozy, Comfortable, yet stylish.

It's been cold and rainy here, and you know how I feel about that. On the weekends all I want to do is wear a pair of leggings and my Uggs, but it doesn't always look the most put together. In an effort to still be comfortable I opted for my minnetonka moccasins....

 

 

shoes: minnetonka moccasins, leggings: target, shirt: Urban (borrowed from B's closet) scarf and jacket: H&M 

 
Today is the last day to enter the giveaway...I'll announce the winner tomorrow!
 

Giveaway!! [shine your light]

Tis the season to be merry and bright, here is a giveaway that can help. Whether you keep it for yourself or give it away as a gift, this beech wood flashlight has got to be the most modern flashlight around. 

The contest will run until Monday evening December 14th, so leave a comment stating something from your Christmas wish list, and I will pick a winner at random... good luck!

 

Shades of.. [a new color]

I purchased this pink blouse a while back and have been waiting for the right moment to wear it (yes another under $5 thrift store find). Paired with my shiny black leggings, strings of pearls and grey oxfords I think this blouse is the perfect addition to my wardrobe.. (sometimes it's nice to venture away from your usual color pallet, I don't normally wear this color....)

 

 

 

It's been quite cold here in the morning, so I thought I would show you how I keep warm... a classic black coat ... you can't go wrong.

Vintage. [ a sweater for less than lunch]

Lately I have been having quite a bit of luck shopping at thrift stores (this will soon be followed by a dry spell so don't get too jealous). I hit up a new one the other day in hopes to find some great sweaters (something I felt was missing from my wardrobe) and was delighted to come across this one.. (for $3.99)

 

Did I mention I was obsessed with my new boots?

When it rains... [rainy day dressing]

When it rains in So Cal it's a big deal. I myself could do without the rain (let's face it. it's only fun if you get to be inside by the fire and since that is never the case, I am not a fan.) But you do get to change the way you dress a little when it rains....

wishing I had a pair of Hunter Wellies (I have come close to purchasing a pair, but it really doesn't rain enough) I opted for my vintage riding boots, a camel turtleneck sweater and a festive scottish beanie.

Are you a fan of the rain?
