Wreaths that make me swoon…

November 23, 2011

As I told you before, wreaths seem to make a home come to life. When I saw these ideas over at Style at Home I found myself lost in a winter wonderland daydream….breathtaking.

The blue spruce wreath on the white swing doors made my heart skip a beat. I know, who would think a wreath could do so? You should go ahead and check out the other amazing Holiday decor ideas over at Style at Home.

You might be there a while just to warn you;)

P.S. Sorry for posting being sporadic timing this week! Still traveling and enjoying family, but I have some fun posts still coming up! Hope you all get a nice break this week to be with loved ones!

Veronica Rose: 7 months.

November 21, 2011

Veronica Rose – 7 months

This month she started army crawling. I know have a scrumptious big eyed belle at my feet wherever I go. She loves to rock on all fours, play peek-a-boo, and chew on mommy’s necklaces.

There is nothing sweeter than the first few minutes she wakes up and is all smiles.

Trying to cherish these moments and write down my favorite memories.

Little Gabriel wants to take “pookie” everywhere with him, and she is the first person he asks or when he wakes up. Which is followed by lots of smothering hugs and kisses. It makes up for his mischevious moments throughout the day;)

We are in Milwaukee enjoying my husband’s family all week long! We drove all the way here from the ATL. Do you have any travel plans? Will you drive or brave the airports???

Style File: Bright and Bold Winter Warmers

November 18, 2011

You’d think I was J.Cre’ws marketing rep…. But how can I not share all these delicious bright and bold colors in what seems to be a happy winter??;) I can’t say I would look this fresh walking through snowy mountains…

And thought this was such a fun summary of my favorite trends this season:)

Find all of these photos and more on the J.Crew Tumblr.

Wanted to thank you all again for all the wonderful feedback on the Holiday Gift Guide! The tweets, facebook messages, and blog shout outs had me completely in awe and smiling ear to ear these past few days! It made all the long hours worth it! Wishing you all a Happy November weekend ahead!

I know, back to back lookbook posts! Had to rearrange things this week:) Plus I got this super comfy chic top from Stitched + Adorned and couldn’t wait to wear it out:)

Well my friends, I unplugged from the internet over the weekend to focus on finishing up the Gift Guide (which I will share tomorrow!!) and spend time with my family. It was such a refreshing weekend which included dinner guests, date night, and making Turkey sugar cookies witht the kids and their Nannah (we don’t get to see her much)! I look forward to catching up with you soon!

Stop by tomorrow for the launch of the IHOD Holiday Gift Guide! I am beyond excited to share!

Lookbook: Scarf 3 Ways

November 10, 2011

(Scarf: Old Navy (available in stores), Top: Target, Jeans: LOFT, Earrings: IHOD, Bracelets: F21)

Well I decided to combine my crush on scarves and flannel with this scarf. I was totally getting a kick out of your comments on the last flannel post. I felt both canadian, midwestern, and lumberjack in these photos I hope you know;) With pride no shame. What I love about this scarf, is that it is large enough to change it up and keep you warm:) I’ll be wearing this baby all through the winter! If you want an awesome how to video, check out Wendy’s 25 ways to wear a scarf!

P.S. Have I told you lately how wonderful you readers are??? Any spare minute I have had this week (which hasn’t been much due to the flu) has gone to preparing the Gift Guide, but I promise to come visit soon! In the meantime, please allow email reply in your blogger settings so I can reply to your lovely comments!!
