Rudolph Onesie!

Happy Monday!! :)

Freck's Friday Fancies LXVIII

It's Friday! Has it been the longest week ever or what? With all the Holiday parties coming up, I have been thinking about what one would wear to these parties. I mean, it's stressful, and a big deal, but it's really not a big deal at all. Two cocktails in you don't give a hoot what you're wearing and all that stressing was over nothing. Am I right or amiright?

So! Check out this week's fancies - aka some fun choices for that Holiday work party of yours!

My personal favorite is last. Will you go with something more sparkly? More toned down? Jeans?

Happy Friday! Don't forget to enter the jewelry giveaway!

It's Hunting Time!

No no no, not that kind of hunt! It's time that I take the plunge and get those Hunters.


Uggs just don't do it in the snow, they fall apart! They're warm, but I'm tired of having them re-covered every other year. What's the solution? No, not those super duper awesome and warm Columbia or NorthFace boots - I'm sorry I just...can't...

Hunters with the fuzzy sock inserts not only keep feet warm and dry, they also create a longer flattering line on the leg, a one up on the Columbia/NorthFace boots any day.

So...what color?












I'm leaning toward the last pair in blue. Thoughts?

Happy winterizing!

It's That Time of Year...

...we need to get our new agenda's!

I loved my small Moleskin planner, but I think I might go for something more fun for 2011. Where's your planner from? I've been searching and found a couple of contenders...

Grass Pocket Planner

Phizzwizard Planner

Twenty 11 Planner

This one may be the winner...still classic, but with a fun ribbon and closure :) This also comes in different colors, I love the green, too!

Thoughts?

Be sure to check out these cute clip board calendars, love!

Happy Tuesday!

Holiday Decor Color Scheme

I must admit, I jumped the gun on my Holiday decorating before Thanksgiving with some small touches here and there, but I haven't really done much more than that. So now it's time to add some more solid pieces!

Which leads me to :: What is your Holiday decor color scheme?

Traditional red and green?



Traditional blue and silver?



Green and silver?




Pastels and silver?



Gold and silver?



Small neutral touches of a warm, cozy Holiday glow?





Multicolor?

Did I miss any? I love Holiday decor! My small touches were red and white/silver. What's yours?

Happy Monday! Stay warm! :) The high is only 21 today in Chicago! Brrr!

Oh The Weather Outside Is Frightful!

I'm back, and it feels good :)

First of all, before I get back into the swing of things, I want to take a hot minute and thank you all for your kind words and support while I was away. Words can't express how thankful I am to be a part of such an incredible blogging community full of genuine and kind people!

Now let's jump right in, shall we!?

It's cold in Chicago! Holy moly! I had my first moment today where my breath was taken away with the chilly wind, brr!

This moment always hits me too soon every year, so what's a girl to do? Bundle up of course!

I.Love.Toggles.

Although I'm not a big fan of puffy coats, and neither is TBF, I think this looks so warm and cozy!

So chic. Need I say more?

A little military, anyone?

I love this coat, in every.single.color.

Stay warm! :)
