Each Kiss I Gave To You Made Me A Slave To You, I'll Never Be Free...

Hello,

Okay so we're still here in New York spending some post Christmas time with my family. Willa flew back to England this morning so now the apartment feels a bit empty. However, I am taking this opportunity to spoil Ruby with my attention. She's such a funny little thing. It's so crazy watching her grow up. Especially lately, she seems to have become a grown up overnight. No more kids clothes or toys for her... she still hasn't outgrown chocolate though (thank God) so in light of that, today was kicked off by a trip to Dylan's Candy Bar, a stop by Laduree (mainly for mom... and me... Mmm Marie Antoinette Tea...), lunch at Fig & Olive (the rosemary chicken panini is amazing!) and will end with a marathon of some of the best oldie movies around, much to my husband's delight as it allowed him the day to go hang out with some friends we have here. So yeah, that's pretty much what's been happening around here. Hope you're all enjoying yourselves where ever you are.
-Bea

The Joy Of Gift Giving: Christmas 2013 - Part.4

Hi there,

I'm currently typing this from a very merry Manhattan! That's right, I arrived here just a couple hours ago and I'm taking this small break in what has been a crazy day to blog. Without further ado...

It's time for part four of my gift list. Today, I'm focusing on my mom and my mother-in-law. Both are very tough ladies to shop for. I usually just donate money to a charity in mom's name which I know she loves but the last couple years, I've been trying to make more of an effort to spoil her a bit... I mean, she did give me life so...
I'm really gonna try to post another list later tonight as I'm suddenly realizing that Christmas is in only four days! Yikes...
I'm also gonna try to post my outfits for the time that I'm here in New York! Maybe even a christmas photo or two...

The Joy Of Gift Giving: Christmas 2013 - Pt.3

Hi!

Back again with part three of my Christmas gifts. This time, I'm focusing on my darling little sister Ruby, who just discovered Audrey Hepburn and is all about her now. I tired to look for clothes that were Audrey-esque. I think I did a pretty good job! I also bought her the best Audrey movies to watch, I was a little bummed that they didn't have Roman Holiday on Blu-Ray yet but meh, what can you do?
