Pretty much STOKED about New Year's this year...esp since I get to wear elastic waist pants and oversized comfy sweaters and not feel like a quitter.Baby Sloane will be in full effect so Uncle Wade-O and I will join her ringing in the New Year in fluffy socks. Let's day dream for a sec that I can afford these Anthropologie peices...
Our New Years will be filled with Patrone and Dream Catchers as we are spending it in the Zone (aka Flagstaff). Since it is nothing but snow, rocks, national monuments, diners, and babies in my immediate future the only practical New Year's attire would be festive nails. What says "festive" more than glittery nails? Ok, maybe a tad Hannah Montana but paired with rugged layers and snow gear I feel it creates the perfect juxtaposition. I'm obsessed!
2009 has come and is bouts to be gone! let's reflect, for a moment, on some of the things that made the year shiny and bright...
a perfectly high bun and lush red lips

bright, shiny sequins

i came across this collection and instantly felt right at home...in seattle. just what i needed since i won't be traveling further west than greensboro, north carolina this holiday season. i'm a little thrown by the shoe choices for each look, i'd probably switch them out for some rubber riding boots or suede ankle booties, but this is just the stuff i'd wear around my rainy city- drinks at the broiler, movie dates with mama, coffee and crosswords with pops, ferry rides to the islands, dog walks with sis and all the other favorite things i'm missing right now.
standard finery read my mind. the light as a feather fabrics and muted beachy hues are such a lovely escape from the cooold weather and chunky wools of december in new york. i am truly in love with this collection- we were made for eachother.
