LAST MINUTE - SHOP YOUR CLOSET - NYE OUTFITS

Happy New Year's Eve, lovely readers!  Does New Year's Eve sneak up on you like it does me?  The Mr. and I don't really celebrate NYE in a big way, but even if we're at home with a few friends I like to feel somewhat festive.  If you didn't plan ahead (and you're going to be shopping your closet like me) head on over to Broadway+Thresher for my post on last minute outfit ideas.

Have a wonderful and safe evening.  

I hope your last minutes of 2012, and your first moments of 2013, are spent with someone or someones you love.

WHITE CHRISTMAS

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!  We gave and received packages, and felt very blessed and lucky.  We were snowed in the day after Christmas, so we stayed in our pjs all day, drank wine, rented movies, and played games as a family.  It was so nice, and I have relaxed this week in a way I rarely ever do.  The blanket of snow outside makes everything feel more peaceful.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

MUSIC MONDAY: CHRISTMAS EDITION

Christmas has always been my favorite holiday.
I'm a total nerd for all things Christmas, including Christmas music...
and I'll be finishing my present wrapping to the playlist below.
I hope you enjoy it.

I'm trying something knew for Music Monday, with the box above.
I'm hoping it will allow you to listen to the playlist directly from here, instead of having to login to Spotify?
You can click here to listen on Spotify if this was a horrible idea and isn't working ;)
Let me know what you think!

A LITTLE ON OUR LATELY (+ MY SISTER'S BIRTHDAY)

My sister is sharing her birthday with the Mayan Apocalypse this year.

It's after midnight and I'm still typing this, so I think we're all good.

Happy Birthday to you...

Happy Birthday to you...

Happy Birthday, dear sister...

Happy Birthday to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Below is a little on life lately, according to my instagram (and a little of the Mr's).  

I hope you all have a wonderful almost-Christmas weekend!  

Safe travels!

THE PERFECT PUMP

Check out these suede peep toe slingback heels from American Apparel!  

I love all of the colors, and they're the perfect not-too-high heel height (3-1/2 inches).

What color is your favorite?

WEEKEND WEAR: MY DAD'S VEST

Hey there!  Did you enjoy Marni + James' playlists yesterday?  I love hearing about new bands and artists.  Hopefully you're enjoying this new feature as much as I am!

A few weeks ago when we were home I inherited stole this vest from my Dad.  It was getting a little too small for him, and he had just gotten a new one.  I remember this vest well.  One of my favorite pictures of my sister and me involves us wearing my Mom's boots and Dad's vests {the one below included}.  I'm a sentimental gal, so it makes me happy to have it.  And with the oddly warm weather we've been having - I'm sneaking in a few wears before the snow falls and my winter coat takes over.

Necklace:  Ax+Apple

Tee:  Fluxus "Funk Top"

Camo Shirt Jacket:  Old Navy Men's (sold out, but similar here)

Vest:  Dad's from the 70s  

Jeans:  Paige Denim Verdugo Jeggings

Boots:  Shoemint

Watch:  Men's Timex

Bracelets:  These are the bracelets I always wear, so I'll just do this once! :)
