Can you believe Christmas is this Saturday?  I would still think it was July if it

weren't for the fact that it is absolutely frigid outside and I am extremely pale.

This week has been so busy!  Trying to finish wrapping presents & shopping.

And also exhausted from work.  I am super excited to have a four day weekend!

And spend time with family and friends :)

I'm SO close to finishing the 30 for 30 challenge.  I feel like its taken me a while...

But I'm so glad I did it and I have definitely learned a lot from doing it!

I'll be sure to make a post of things I've learned in the process.

Anywho, how has your week been?  Are you just as excited about Christmas as I am?!

Have you finished all your holiday shopping?

Tacky

Tomorrow I will most likely be wearing one of these...



My good friend Katherine is getting married in March and me and two

of the other bridesmaids are throwing her and her fiance a tacky Christmas

sweater couples shower.  I know, we're such good friends, right? ;)

Pictures will definitely follow.

One of those Days

Dress - Marks & Spencer in London

Knee Socks - Target

Oh y'all, it really was one of those days.  Or maybe two of those days.

I had to leave work early yesterday because all of our roads were icing over.

I live in between two mountains so if I don't get home in time - they shut down

the streets to my house and I'm outta luck.  Anywho, there was black ice and I

fell down half a flight of stairs.  Yep, graceful.  I have a bruise the size of a

cantaloupe on the side of my thigh.  It hurts to sit.  And stand.  I feel like I'm 90.

And today wasn't any better, although I didn't fall down any stairs.  Thank goodness.

It was just one of those days where I just wanted to go home, curl up in a ball

and fall asleep.  Do you ever have days like that?  Here's to hoping tomorrow is better.

Decorating with Frames

I really love the look of ton of frames decorating the walls.

They add an eye catching element to spaces that would otherwise be a blank canvas.

Here are a few of my favorites...

What do you think?

Would you decorate your home with an abundance of frames?

Or is that a too cluttered look for you?

Okay, I was a little behind on posting my 30 for 30 pictures.

I really loved my number 22 remix.  It was comfortable and I love the pairing of

blue and black together.  I like it so much I paired it together again for remix

number 23!  But this time I paired my black and blue with a gray blazer for the office.

Only 7 more outfits to go!  Maybe I'll be done by Christmas so I can wear any new

clothes by that time :)  Wishful thinking and keeping my fingers crossed.
