Spotty Sunday.

6 Comments Posted by on January 8, 2012

There is nothing more satisfying to me than finding a cute piece of clothing for a major steal. And when I get  a great score like this, I have to share! I found myself in Kohl’s this weekend, turning up my nose at that idea that I could find anything cute in there — but out of the corner of my eye I was drawn to polka dots and ended up snagging an adorable silky swing tank for just $20. I liked it so much I already wore it to brunch this morning. And, I’ll admit when I’m wrong — there are cute things at Kohl’s!

My wardrobe is in a mid-winter slump and while browsing for a few inexpensive pick-me-ups  I found this adorable sweater from Old Navy. Animal prints at a mighty fine price — looks like this one is going to be mine!

Pasta night.

2 Comments Posted by on January 4, 2012

Over the holiday weekend one of my friends hosted a pasta-making get together. I’ve never made fresh pasta before — it seemed way too complicated for me — but I was happily surprised to see it wasn’t too difficult at all! I helped with the dough making process, but my expertise was really in the eating portion of the night. I could have had a dozen servings, it was so delicious!

New Years Eve.

I snapped a few pictures on my phone on before guests arrived on New Years Eve. It was a fun-filled night with good friends and bubbly drinks. I’m still working on my resolutions for this year; I need a few days to recover from celebrating first!

Big Big News!

21 Comments Posted by on January 2, 2012

I hinted to a little a surprise in my last post, and now I’m ready to share my big news! The week before Christmas my boyfriend and I took a quick getaway to Quebec City for some relaxing before the holidays. And on the first night we arrived he proposed in the snow in front of our hotel as we were walking to dinner!  It was the perfect setting for an amazing surprise. The best part was that we’ve been able to spend the last week celebrating with friends and family. I’m already scheming away with color palettes and crafty ideas, so expect to see a little bit of wedding chatter on the blog in 2012!

Cozy and chic.

1 Comment Posted by on December 15, 2011

I’m planning out my Christmas morning outfit, because every year I endure those embarrassing photos that parents like to take while you’re opening presents in your PJs. But there’s no excuse not to look cute, even if it’s before your morning coffee! There’s a way to look cozy and chic; polka dot slippers and gingham pajamas anyone? (They match the hat I got yesterday!)

I think I’m finally finished with all of my Christmas shopping, but there’s always that one gift recipient that I’ll realize has slipped my mind just days before the holiday weekend. So, if you’re like me and need a few last-minute gift ideas, I’ve rounded up 20 festive finds that are on a budget — everything is under $25! The danger of putting these posts together? I’ve already done some shopping for myself: that polka-dot hat is mine!
