Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, lovelies! I hope you all have the most amazing time tonight and wishing you all a joyous & prosperous new year. I want to thank you all for the support over this past year. It truly means the world to me. Thank you for bringing me such happiness on a daily basis and I look forward to much more of the same in the new year.

Be happy & be well! xoxo

Golden Gala

Happy Thursday, lovelies! New Year's Eve is tomorrow night, and can you believe, I still am undecided as to what to do. I'm torn...part of me wants to have a quiet night indoors switching between watching Watch What Happens Live: Andy’s New Year’s Eve Party on Bravo and Snooki's New Year's Eve Ball Drop all night long and the other part of me wants to get all dressed up and head on out to a fabulous fete. Andy & Snooki are very tempting but I don't think that they can compete with the party girl in me :)

I'm all about shimmer and shine and I tend to kick it up a notch during the holidays. This New Year's I'm craving gold. Lots of it. The more, the better. A little something to warm me up on these cold nights. And I have just the right outfit all ready to go.

So what do u think? Should I have a mellow night or hit the town?

Couch Potato

I just love this time of year, the week between Christmas and New Years. Even though I have to work 2 days I've been able to squeeze in a lot of vegging out time on the couch watching movies, catching up on tv and all of my other little hobbies. It's been pure bliss!

Oh and no, I do not get dressed up this fabulously to do so. My routine is usually get up, sit on the couch for an hour or so, hop in the shower and into some clean pjs before sitting back on the couch for the rest of the day. I couldn't ask for anything more :)

Hope you're all having a wonderful holiday week! xoxo

All I Got For Xmas!

Good morning, lovelies! We're still digging out from the big snowstorm that hit Sunday into Monday. It dropped more than 18 inches here in NYC and I ended up being snowed in, unable to get to the office. No complaints here though. I just love a snow day. Got to stay indoors and enjoy some of my presents a little more. I was really lucky this year and I got everything that I asked for!


Melinda Maria Oxidized Link Ring
ASOS Feather Clutch
The Gospel According to Coco Chanel
Urban Outfitters Over The Knee Socks
Crystal stacked bracelet
Pink Texting Gloves {I also got some black ones :)}
Ecote Antiqued Metallic Beaded Clutch

Lucky girl, indeed! What did you guys get this year?

Snowflakes Falling All Over Town

Good morning, lovelies! How was your holiday? I had a wonderful one spending Christmas Eve and morning hosting J's family and then seeing my family Christmas afternoon. Everyone was in such a joyous mood. We decorated cookies, sang Christmas carols and J & I even played Santa for the first time ever arranging all of the gifts around the tree for the Christmas morning unveiling. It was just perfect!

Sunday was a lazy day spent indoors avoiding the blizzard we are being hit with and also catching up on some much needed rest.

Today I'm planning on making my way outdoors to survey the snow covered scenario. It's the first major snowstorm of the season and I have to admit, I'm pretty excited about it.

How did you all spend the holiday? Hope Santa was good to you all! xoxo

Joyeux Noel!

'Twas the night before Christmas, lovelies and I'm very excited! Some of my guests are already here and the rest will be arriving later on today.

I'll be signing off early for the holiday today. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas filled with much health, happiness and love!

Sweet Holiday!

Well we're almost here. One more day until Christmas Eve and I've been baking up a storm for days. Can't wait to dig into all of the sweetness tomorrow!

Today I'll be busy getting ready for my hosting duties. I just found out that I'll have some overnight guests tonight so the festivities will be starting sooner than I thought. Better get a move on!

Wishing you and your loved ones a most joyous holiday filled with lots of goodness & cheer! xoxo

Blue Christmas

Happy Wednesday, lovelies! Hope you're all having a wonderful, stress free week filled with lots of holiday cheer. Today is my last day of work until after the weekend and tonight I have my work holiday party. The perfect way to kick off the festivities!

Lately I'm loving the thought of a blue Christmas. Maybe I'm being swayed by the numerous Tiffany bags that I see walking down the streets these days. Who knows, but one things for sure, I wouldn't be feeling very blue if I got one of those little boxes under my tree this year :)

Welcoming Winter

Happy first day of winter! I know the winter can be long and hard but I think there are definitely some things to look forward to this season.

Freshly fallen snow can be oh so pretty and don't you just love all of the cold weather accesories. I know that I can't get enough of snuggly scarves and collars and mittens and gloves.

You won't hear any complaints here. At least until the third week of January. Isn't that when it all gets really old and dreams of warmer places starting taking over?

Have wonderful day, lovelies! xoxo

Have Yourself A Pretty Little Xmas

Happy Monday, darlings! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend. Mine was great and very productive. I pretty much finished up the shopping, presents are wrapped, cookie dough made and the holiday menu is planned. Things are finally under control!

What did you all do this weekend? All ready for the holidays?

Have a wonderful day! xoxo
