SWEET NOTHING

So I put my faith in something unknown/ I'm living on such sweet nothing

Christmas candy specially ordered by my Hubby for his parents. Every piece of chocolate is hand painted! They are from Mariebelle.

But I'm tired of hope with nothing to hold/ I'm living on such sweet nothing

And it's hard to learn/ And it's hard to love/ When you're giving me such sweet nothing


Sweet nothing/Sweet Sweet nothing
You're giving me such sweet nothing

Lyrics by Calvin Harris, performed by Florence Welch
Makers of the sweet decadent clothes I am wearing are as follows:
Top-Equipment
Skirt- J Crew pink sparkly pencil skirt
Flesh colored pumps by Manolo Blahnik
Earrings- J Crew

In case you are wondering why I am posting another pic so soon, I thought I will try to redeem myself from my prior week's laziness.

XOXO

Happy Holidays!!!!

I apologize for the lack of posts but I came down with a mean case of blogger's block while on vacation. I promise to do better next year  (resolution# 199,999,999,999,999) but in the mean time, greetings from Crystal Mountain, WA.  This is what I have been up to...

The fam and I; it seems my mother in law was playing hide and seek with the camera.  As cunning as she is, she was never found.

On the ski lift 

Here I go, I tried to make a turn but instead landed on my butt. My butt continuously paid homage to the ice god during this activity.  I am still in pain.

Christmas trees en route to the mountain.

DALLAS...MY INSPIRATION

Let's hope the Ewings are at least tickled

 Vintage coat dress by Jacqueline de Ribes. I snagged this fabulous 80s number at a store called Cheeky Vintage, located in Houston. I am seriously in love with this store, you walk in and you feel like you stepped into Willy Wonka the Fashion Factory!

Jewels: Earrings from J-Crew ala Net-a-Porter, broach from a jewelry store in Korea town (NYC)

I straightened my hair for date night. And like Cinderella's fairy tale night, it went back to Brillo pad when the clock striked workout time...
XOXO

Happy Thanksgiving All!

It's over, I am currently in my sweat pants (which are a little snug right now), all is absolutely well!

The sun was shinning a little bright today

Our T-DAY contributions , Pecan pie from scratch.  It was amazing.

I am not quite sure what this champagne tasted like because I was already drunk when I popped the cork.   But really... can you ever go wrong with champagne?

Hope you all had a good one.
XOXO

PS: Outfits are Helmut Lang charcoal top; American Apparel skirt, Christian Louboutin shoes

Random Pics of Christiana

We were going out for drinks one night and as a self appointed papparazzi of my friends, I bugged Christiana until she posed for me.  Enjoy!

 I just loved the loose fit of this dress on her

Another semi fruity drink directly from Paris for our cocktail hour, thanks Nnenna!
--This drink had a fruity aroma, and when I took a sip, it was like a burst of roses in my mouth. That is, if roses were edible.

Blue steel stare
XOXO

PUSS in BOOTS

Or shall I say Pegs in Boots? From browsing images on the web, it seems even Puss filled out his boots-- No one to commiserate with.  Just scroll down to the second pic to see what I am talking about. I was trying to break you'll in first with a non-peg picture...

Silk Kimono from Blu Moon 

And now Pegs in Boots--be kind...

American Apparel dress, gold cuff necklace from Nordstrom and Burberry Motorcycle boots

Happy Veteran's Day and hope you have a good week!
 XOXO

Velvet Clad in Wool

Cross necklace from Express years ago
Sweater from Urban Outfitters, Alexander Wang dress

Cocktail hour-- This one is for people that love semi sweet drinks.  It tasted like watered down fruit juice. It does have an after taste, a little bit of a bite. Think spritzy, champagne with fruity coloring.

Have a great week everyone!!!
XOXO
