January Wish List – Top 3


I went to Anthropologie on Friday evening and tried on a few dresses that I L-U-V.  I plan to post some new fitting room reviews very soon, so stay tuned.  Have any of you gone to Anthro lately to check out some of the new arrivals?  I saw a handful of the items from the January 2012 catalog, but the one dress I wanted to try on was not in my store yet.  Does anyone else love the Bike Lane Dress?  I think it looks super cute.  This one would have made it on to my top 3 if I were able to see it in person.  I’ve already added this dress on my wish list.  My store has not gotten the Bike Lane Dress yet.  Anyways, here are my top 3 items from Anthropologie for the month of January. What are your must have items this month?  Let me know!

Moody Style: Sangria

Hi everyone…I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend.  I had a fabulous full weekend, but I didn’t have too much time to rest.  Saturday morning I went to a graduation and a reception for my beautiful cousin, followed by an impromptu get together with really good friends and a bottle of sangria.  Then on Sunday, I went to church, then baked a batch of peanut butter cookies for a cookie swap and then went to a work holiday party later in the evening.  There was some good eats and lots more sangria drinking.   In between all of these events, I wrote up holiday cards and continued some of my Christmas shopping.  I’m still amazed how slow this process is going for me this year.  I’m usually all finished and everything would be wrapped and ready to go by now.  I still have 3 more presents to buy and I haven’t wrapped a single present yet.  I’m feeling the stress right about now, but the several glasses of sangria this weekend really helped me cope.  What about all of you?  Have you finished all of your shopping?  Are you feeling stressed this holiday season?

Fresh Picks to Follow: LBD

Hi everyone - I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend.  I just got back into town late tonight and I didn’t have time to write my Friday Fresh Picks to Follow.  I’ve been pretty good about posting this weekly feature, but lately I’ve been a little distracted.  My aunt passed away and we recently had a beautiful memorial service in honor of her life and legacy.  She was truly an amazing, inspirational woman and I’m so happy that she was in my life.

When I thought about putting together this week’s Fresh Picks to Follow, I instantly thought about the little black dress.  I realized that I have a handful of black dresses, but only one that was appropriate for the memorial service.   So I wanted to focus this week’s feature on the LBD.  Since Chanel introduced the "little black dress" in 1926, it has become a staple in every woman’s wardrobe. The Chanel little black dress became a symbol of chic and sophisticated simplicity. Something that I noticed is that the LBD should not be trendy, but timeless.  In my opinion, the perfect LBD should have plain fabric and clean lines and it should look simple yet elegant.  To change the look from daytime to night, pair the dress with bold jewelry, a blazer, colorful pumps or a scarf.  Here are my top 10 LBD’s for this week’s Fresh Picks to Follow.  Do you have a favorite little black dress?  Do you have a dress that is work or church appropriate?  Let me know.
