how to "dress" for every party.
"it's that time of year, when the world falls in love, E'vry song you hear, seems to say, Merry Christmas..."
yes, that time is here. season of parties.
what to where, when to where, who to wear?
I am here to help.
There is a party for every occasion and a theme for every party (although obviously it's all surrounding Christmas, but come on- every loves a theme!!). Here are the BEST looks for this season.

what a week...
whew- sick baby + sick husband = no fun. So yes, as you can tell my poor little girl was sick which meant also for her, no sleeping (who am I kidding, me too!!) and crying all the day long. We are finally over the hump and I have managed to get away for a couple minutes. (get away is actually her playing right next me :))
So, as they say better late than never, right?
Jbrand royal blue jeans- $179 nordstrom. Perfect for those SLU (saint louis university) basketball games!!
victoria's secret thermal pj's. $49 Definitely be needing a pair for the holidays- cozy up this weekend with the fam!
L'oreal Paris Colour Riche lipcolour in golden splendor $8.95- the perfect nude with a slight shimmer- yep- holiday party Saturday night!
glass taxi ornament- $49- bloomingdales. My trees are adorned with these old school glass ornaments. (since I have moved to STL, you can get them at homegoods for a much cheaper price.) They still remind me of my new york days :)
TOMS slippers. "beaumont skull slip on" $100- neiman marcus. simply adorable. Only TOMS could pull this off- now a holiday slipper with a velvet inside. If it's cozy, warm, AND stylish; my name is all over it!

points to ponder
"When I was 5, my mom always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up.
I wrote down "happy".
They told me I didn't understand the assignment and I told them they didn't understand life."
well played.

do it like a cake and layer.
I suppose before we get all cozy on the couch, we'll need some essential items and of course, to get those items one also needs an array of winter goods. It's all about the layering of scarfs, hats, gloves, and coats!
The Perfect Layer
Layer one- scarves
 |
| too cute!! They pretty much come in every animal (photo via urbanoutfitters.com) |
 |
| so comfy (photo via peopletree) |
 |
| add this to any outfit- instant glam (photo via topshop.com) |
 |
| again- so comfy and warm- hard to pass this up. (photo via anthropologie.com) Layer two- gloves 
these can't get any cuter!!

stripes- I love them on everything.

just when you thought they couldn't get any cuter...

 |
| I couldn't help myself. The cutest. (photo via flickr.com) |
 |
| I'm gonna find it and wear it, every day. (photo via foxontherun.tumblr.com) |
 |
| so lady luck and yet so stylish- some things never fade. (photo via ellestclare) |
 |
| layer this with all the goods and you'll be great indoors and out!! (photo via modcloth.com) |
- and the icing on the cake- hats
 |
| perfect for ice skating!! (photo via freepeople) |
 |

 |
| I'm totally going to wear this shopping- get up and go but yet still so stylish. (photo via urbanoutfitters.com) |
 |
| Love these for when you want your hair down but yet there is still a nip in the air. Embrace the weather and layer! You simply can't go wrong- and if all else fails, wear your most comfortable clothes and add your cutest coat. (Here's the kicker- you can't take off your coat!!) |

day of thanks...
Thanksgiving is here- what are you thankful for?
I, myself am thankful for an outrageous number of things but most of all this year I am thankful for God following through- it may be in his own way or time, but he always does.
I have had quite the busy weekend and I apologize for not getting more out sooner but trust me- I cannot contain myself with Christmas, so you all will get a screen load of stuff coming at ya!
Are you having Turkey day at your house or are you going to friend's, family? Whatever the case, one should never show up empty handed- here are some ways to keep your hands full...
