Good morning ladies:) My name is Anna, and I blog over at IHOD. I was tickled Alexa asked me to be a guest here! Here’s a peak at some of my daily staples….
I am definately an accessories girl, so I usually am in jeans and a long sleeve tee or sweater and accessorize with either a scarf, necklace, earrings, or bangles. Sometimes all of the above;) Of course, boots are my fave in the fall/winter months. Warm, comfortable, and chic. When you are a mama, getting dressed sometimes doesn’t happen till the afternoon, so if I am running out the door, its easy to throw on some fun accessories and feel a little more put together. I notice that when I put a little effort into styling I have a more positive attitude for my day.
Take the same pair of boots and pair it with a skirt or dress and you have a little more feminine and classy look. Its always nice to dress up once in a while, even if its just for the husband. (He’s worth it!)
But just between you and me, I have days at least once a week where I don’t get out of my sweats. They are too comfortable;) What are your favorite go to staples?
After going to Mass, we always have brunch together. Gabe loves to make breakfast for us or we go get donuts at our favorite local joint. Its followed by a good cup of joe and the Sunday paper. Christmas music will now be added into the mix;) I like to refer to these mornings as my re-fuel mornings. Its all around a great recipe for the soul.
(You can see the last of the donut crumbs all over little mister’s sweater and cheeks.)
I missed our Sunday morning routine terribly yesterday, as we were all out with the flu. Already looking forward to the weekend…
How do you spend your Sunday’s??
*The snuggly mug cozy was a gift from my awesome sister-in-law via etsy:) The nail color is a new fave from Butter London.
I absolutely love the fall, but am not a fan of winter. Coat season makes me want to stay inside and hibernate. Luckily, we have a few more weeks of warm weather here in GA. These Winter Wools had a strange effect on me….like I shouldn’t dread winter so much. I might even look forward to coat weather if I had one of these jewels;)
Thanksgiving Table setting ideas, recipes, Fall must haves, gift guides, and my favorite, a sit down with Kate and Andy Spade. (The married dynamic duo that founded my favorite line of hand bags;))
And I am still pinching myself that in the same issue as Kate Spade, I got to be a part of “Matchbook Investigates”, where they ask 6 bloggers a different question each issue. I really was an honor! The other ladies featured next to me are quite fantastic! Check out the full issue if you haven’t already!

So we finally made the decision to be these two lovas…
Holly Golightly and Paul ‘Fred’ Varjack -Breakfast At Tiffany’s
My normally goofball husband had to wear a serious costume and play a serious role this year. I thanked him for playing along so well. He found the perfect Paul Varjack tweed blazer at Goodwill the morning of the party. He likes it so much he wore it the next day as well;) I had so much fun dressing up as my all time favorite Old Hollywood leading lady (Audrey). And just for the record, the cigs are for costume;)
Out of respect for our lovely guests, I won’t post their photos here, except for Katie,
A dear friend who came to visit for the weekend….
They are newlyweds who dressed up as Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn – Project Runway. (He looked just like him with powdered white hair and all!) Although the Married sign wouldn’t really apply to Tim and Hiedi;)
Being a procrastinator, I finally made the infamous Breakfast at Tiffany’s mask and earplugs the morning of the party. Luckily, Hobby Lobby + my craft room had everything I needed to make it!
