Guest Post at Fifi Cheek

I'm guest posting over at Fifi Cheek today while the author and my dear friend Lindsey is soaking up her first few weeks of being a {fabulous} new momma! Do drop by! I'm serving cocktails ;)

As Gold as it Gets



as gold as it gets, shine of the times, a cut above, set in stones, pure pearlfection



Simply necessary. Every girl could use a little extra sparkle in her life. What fun to catch the glitterfest happening on your nails while going about the day.

Christmas for Two

This December will mark the first year that Alan and I will be spending Christmas just the two of us. We're celebrating with our families a week before then heading back to the city. Honestly, I have to say I'm a little nervous.

Will we be able to re-create the family traditions we've grown to love? Will it feel like Christmas without a decorated house full of bustling family?  With me traveling and working so much, we haven't even had time to make our apartment a home, much less decorate.

I'm working my way through the minor anxiety with small steps and things I'm familiar with. I think I'm on my way to creating a few holiday traditions of our own :) Have you been in a similar situation? I would love to know how you made it special!

Come Vixen

I'm loving these lacy, flirty little numbers filed under Madewell's The 12 Days. If you're to give underwear for Christmas, this would be it. Come dasher, come dancer, come prancer, come Vixen!

All I want...

All I want for christmas is Little Palm Island! And one of those ginormous frozen drinks with an umbrella in it! Not so much to ask, right? Lawd, I need a vaca!

When in doubt...

"When in doubt, wear red!" This quote by Bill Blass has become one of my personal mantras. I'm out to establish it as my signature color after all. See no.8. Step no.1, wear more red lipstick! And I have. Do you have a signature red lipstick? Glamour rounds up ravishing reds perfect for your skin tone.

Bar Cart Art

There's not much in the new apartment, but there is a bar cart. Are you surprised?
