Happy Thursday! 

Has anyone else been in a mood this week? 

It is a full moon or is there something in retrograde? 

I'm telling you, I have been salty, really salty.

One thing that has got me down are my New Year goals. 

I have not had a drop of alcohol, I have been watching everything I am eating and I actually gained 3 lbs!   I am very frustrated to say the least. 

How have you maintained any goals or resolutions during the New Year? 

What I am happy about are animal prints. 

I have been in love with animals prints for decades. 

The Summer of 99' I purchased my first leopard bag and matching leopard slides (it was the 90's don't judge!) Y2K NYE I wore the cutest snakeskin dress...and it has been a love affair ever since. 

While cheetah and leopard are a little more mainstream, giraffe, zebra and python have been in the mix.  This top is among my favorites. Python ✓ my favorite color green ✓, YES!
I kept the rest of this look simple in order for this blouse to have it's moment.

I am probably going to have a low key weekend filled with sports.

What are your plans?

We have made it to Thursday! Woo!!

If there is one trend I have really jumped on in the last few seasons, it has been the teddy coat.
If you know me, you know I absolutely love to be cozy, so feeling like I am walking around in something similar to a bathrobe, is right up my alley.
I am a huge fan of anything over sized, soft and warm.  I have yet to meet a teddy I haven't loved with different colors, lengths, softness, textures and price points, but this Peach Clothing teddy may have my heart right now.

How are you all faring with your resolutions and goals in the second week of January?

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Happy New Year!!

Did you all go out or stay in?

We just hung in, ordered Chinese, watched a movie and then the ball drop. It was perfect!

I took the week of Christmas off, then worked a day and a half, had yesterday off and I keep thinking today is Monday. Is anyone else as confused as I am as to what day it is?

I have always been a lover of Uggs, living in the Northeast and all.  This year not only are my Uggs keeping my feet super toasty, they are also keeping me feet super chic. Such adorable new styles that keep you looking seasonally fashionable.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and are keeping up with your resolutions and goals!

Oh hey!! How were your holidays?
It has been a while, I took some much needed time off over the past few weeks preparing for Christmas.

Can you believe it is New Years Eve? Have you made any resolutions?
Other than the usual reminders to be more healthy and present, I have decided to have a no alcohol January. Not that I am a huge drinker, but I am hoping perhaps it will cut some calories and help clear my skin.  I am also trying to go on a financial fast for the month of January. I am trying to fight the urge to boredom shop, spending money just to spend money.

I don 't know about you, but I am in a version of this look all winter long.
Give me all of the oversized sweaters, leggings and boots.
This turtleneck, olive, animal print, puff/balloon sleeve sweater is my favorite! I am obsessed with it. perfect over leggings or jeans, with a longer hem in the back.

I wish you all a happy and healthy New Year!
See you in 2020!

Happy Thursday Babes!

 Can you believe Christmas is only 20 days away?
My love for Christmas is no secret, I love all of it! All month long I enjoy the lights, the shopping, the Christmas carols, the parties and get togethers, the tv specials and the treats!

One of my favorite holiday traditions is our Christmas Pajamas.  We get them early and we wear them often.  It is jus another way for us to get into the holiday spirit!   

 On Me: top / bottoms   On Nolan: PJs

How do you get in to the holiday spirit?
