Happy Tuesday!
For those of you that are wrapping up celebrating Hannukah,
may you be blessed with gifts of love, peace, and happiness!
For those of you who will be celebrating Christmas, only 5 shopping days left!!
Although exchanging gifts is always a fun part of the holiday season, my favorite part is getting together with family and friends all season long.
This past weekend started off with a bang! One of my best girlfriends came up from NY for a visit with her family and our other friend who lives locally came over for a holiday celebration. It has been so long since the three of us have been together, it was a blast. Saturday was filled with shopping, hair cuts and play dates and at night, Nolan, myself, my sister-in-law, niece and mom headed out to dinner and to see our friend's daughter perform in the Nutcracker. It was Nolan's first experience with the Nutcracker. He had lots of questions, one being "are they ever going to talk?". To that I LOL'd, I just assumed everyone knows there is no talking in ballet.
Our Sunday plan was basketball, more Christmas shopping and then off to my nephews 6th Birthday.
Unfortunately after basketball our plans unraveled because Nolan complained (which he never does) of a headache and sore throat. Well, we made it to my nephews party... for about 25 minutes before we had to head back home when the stomach bug hit in full force. From 5:45 - 10:30 Nolan slept on the bathroom floor, my poor baby. The silver lining was with my back against the shower and feet up on the vanity I watched about 4 episodes of the Netflix series The Crown. Of course I woke up yesterday with a cold, I do not have time for this!!
On to today's look.
The great thing about burgundy, bordeaux or whatever you like to call it, it works for many occasions. This simple shift can work for Christmas, NYE or even Valentines day.
It has been absolutely freezing and super windy, so I apologize for my head position in so many of these photos, I kept flipping my hair to get it out of my mouth and unstuck from my gloss.
Tonight I need to make confections for co-worker and teacher gifts...
What are some simple gifts you love to give or receive?

Wind can definitely make taking photos hard! I love getting something I can use, a travel mug or water bottle.
ReplyDeleteI hope Nolan is feeling better! I ended up with an ear infection on Sunday and I felt like the biggest baby. This look is so pretty on you and love the animal print jacket. I feel like the wind is never on my side for taking pics but you make these look good! Sierra~Beautifully Candid

We are all sick over here and it's just not fun. Seeing my babies sick it's just the worst....Hope you feel better quickly!

Aww poor Nolan, hope he is better now. I love Bourdeaux for all seasons and all reasons. We have been on the same wave-length style-wise lately, Elise. First our layered Buffalo Plaid shirts and later both wearing burgundy (I did just that in my latest post). I wish you and your family a wonderful week before Christmas and welcome by Thursday to link up!
