Perfect Saturday

Today I was so excited to start new book I ordered complete with a cozy blanket and popcorn!  It's Saturdays like these that I love the most, cold outside, cozy inside.

  The book is A Voice In The Wind. Not sure if you have heard of the author Francine Rivers, if not you should check her out.  My favorite book she wrote is Redeeming Love.  This book will make you cry as your read the beautiful story of a prostitute who is sold to a young man who patiently shows her that he truly loves her.  Her icy heart slowly is redeemed by the power of unconditional love. Anyways don't want to ruin it but please check it out. 

 I'm hoping this book is as good!  Happy Saturday Friends!

Tis' the season to sparkle!

Sparkle, sparkle, sparkle!  Christmas parties, Christmas Eve dinners, and New Year's Eve parties all give one reason to shine and sparkle! I mean, we've made it through another year with all of it's ups and downs that is reason enough to pour yourself something bubbly and deck out in your finest party attire.  

But why are sequins reserved for just years end?  Why can't they be worn for everyday life?  They make me smile and feel special, that is reason enough to break them out for more common functions.

Here I have taken a sequin skirt I got years back at The Limited and have paired it with simple tops so that it can be worn at day or night.  Two of the looks are decidedly casual while one can go either way. I hope this gets you thinking how you can incorporate a little sparkle into your everyday life!  2014 has never looked brighter!

Mad for Plaid!

Typically plaid is a staple around Christmas time from stockings to tree skirts to bows on wreathes and garland, but plaid is having a fashion moment and I'm not talking about plaid pjs!

 I love the casual/comfy vibe that plaid brings to an outfit.  Besides the casual vibe there is something undeniably sexy about plaid. A look that has a farm meets city look is what I love about this pattern.

 This week I have worn plaid twice with a shirt and shoes.  How do you like to wear plaid?

Thanksgiving Abundance!

Last week, I had a great time celebrating Thanksgiving with my family.  This time of year offers a great opportunity to stop and enjoy what really matters in life. My favorite part of the week was hanging out with my little niece.  She is 15 months and is starting to try to talk.  What a cutie! Hope your Thanksgiving was just as blessed as mine.
