Traveling Lady, Stay Awhile Until The Night Is Over...

Hi everyone!

First post of 2014. Sorry about my long post Christmas break. Everything has just been so crazy. I flew back from New York on the second and was pretty much right back to work. Plus, we had a little plumbing problem in our kitchen, which we're currently having re-done again so it's been chaos. On my way home from work today, I stopped at the drugstore to pick up medicine for the cold that Ben and I are currently nursing and while I was there I noticed that they had all their Valentine's day candy out, I picked up some of those strawberry marshmallow candies (which should come with a warning because they are addictive) which I then proceeded to eat half the bag of so now on top of being drowsy and having a sore throat, I am also nauseous and have pink teeth... talk me out of these things in the future guys!
Anyway, I'm updating with what I wore yesterday as well as today. I swear that I'll give a more in depth account of my Christmas break in my next post but for now I must lay down. Hope you're all well.

The Joy Of Gift Giving: Christmas 2013 - Pt.6

Fewf... just under the wire!

Okay, so technically, I didn't finish my gift lists before Christmas as this year I'm neglecting my Father and Brother. But! I do have time to show you what I bought for my lovely husband. Ben and I decided early on that since we live in the same city as his parents and see them all time, that we would spend our Christmases in New York... at least until we have kids of our own and then we'll reevaluate. So everything I bought for Ben, I had shipped to NY.
Happy Christmas Eve by the way! My mother and aunt have been cooking up a storm in the kitchen all day. Willa and I excused ourselves to go and have lunch with our cousin Hannah and her beautiful daughter Alma. Once I've finished this post, I'll be donning my apron and getting busy. Hope you are all busy too... in a good way of course.

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?

The Joy Of Gift Giving: Christmas 2013 - Pt.1

Okay, so... I suck. I know I said that this season I would only be taking half a month off of the blog but well... things happen. I'm back now however, trying to make it up to you. Last year I began posting glimpses of the things that I was giving to my family for Christmas but much like everything else I promise on the blog, I gave up half way through... this year I've decided to give it another try. In this post I'll be showing you what I bought for my sisters-in-law (Ben's sisters). I hope that this gives you a bit of a picture of who they are and I hope you enjoy. Look forward to more coming soon as well as (hopefully) an outfit post.
