Shoes for Snow [Playing]

On Christmas Eve I made a purchase for myself that wasn't impractical but also not completely necessary...and I couldn't be happier with my decision. I was reading a post on the Fresh Exchange about winter essentials. One of her suggestions was Sorel snow boots so when I was very last minute Christmas shopping at TJMaxx, these boots caught my eye because they were in my head. Like I mentioned already, I didn't necessarily NEED snow boots but I also couldn't leave these behind (and for the half price sticker, I was very excited to get such high quality and cute boots). 

 I love the pink stitching detail!

...now if it would only snow 2+ feet.

Merry Christmas!

Luke 2:10-14

¹⁰ But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. ¹¹ Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. ¹² This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

¹³ Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

¹⁴ 

“Glory to God in the highest heaven,

 and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas with the ones they love. A few presents I received below...my family knows my love for pretty necklaces too well (:

Outfit + Seester Day + Family Time

Last night I enjoyed a tradition with my mom and sister and failed to get a picture of the three of us :( The night was still a lot of fun...we went and saw the Nutcracker at the Walton Arts Center performed by the Moscow Ballet. It was beautiful. I wanted to share my outfit because I LOVED it. It was my first time to wear this hi-lo dress from Riffraff!

I spent the day doing last minute Christmas shopping with my sister. It was so much fun. We even explored a little on the Fayetteville Square.

Merry [Tacky Sweater] Christmas!

It's ugly sweater day at the office! I've decided mine isn't ugly or tacky enough. I'm going bigger next year. But Merry Christmas all the same (:

Darling...

I saw this today on Therapy's Instagram and loved it so I had to share. I always want to be unique.

I love you, Paris

I have found myself missing Paris, France recently. I spent too short a time there Spring of 2008. I long to go back soon.

Today I was cleaning old pictures off of my computer at work and I found a couple pictures of my cat, Boo Boo. He was such a pretty kitty. I miss him (:

Halloween Costume

It's December now and I'm posting about Halloween. I do realize I am quite behind, but I loved my costume this year and couldn't help but sharing a few pictures (even if they are late).

If you've seen Lady Gaga's "Born this Way" video then you understand this costume. If not, that is what it's from. It was a fun, cheap costume...I only had to buy the wig, bow tie and makeup. And yes...I did the makeup myself. I was very please with it (: Skeleton photoshoot...that's one for the books.
