Winter Food

 

 

Semi-arctic temperatures make me thankful for pretzel croissants and hot chocolate at City Bakery. The $9.25 price tag, however, makes me gasp in horror. Oh well.

White Socks + Black Shoes

What say you, blog readers: Would you dare to wear white socks with black shoes? I tried the combo a couple months ago. At work, I was compared to Audrey Hepburn. Then the bf saw and said I looked like a fashion disaster (paraphrasing). I still think I like the look, but I'm open to suggestions.

Oh, Christmas Tree

Instead of a big tree, we have two small feather trees this year. But they're sitting in the corner – sad and bare and in desperate need of decoration. With some quick inspiration, I might be getting crafty this weekend.

 

 

 

 

 

All I Want for Christmas

Thanksgiving has passed, and it's time for girls and boys to start writing their Christmas wish lists. I mailed this one to the big guy, so now it's just a waiting game to see what he puts under the tree.

Thanksgiving Plans

Tomorrow I'm cooking this artichoke recipe for Thanksgiving dinner in the suburbs. But I still haven't decided on an outfit. It should strike the perfect balance between comfy (ie. stretchy leggings) and something leopard. Like this holiday look from Zara.

Lucy in the Sky

Everyone is crazy for sapphires after the recent royal engagement, but I'm still loving these yellow diamonds from Tiffany's.

Turbans are Fun

Last week I discovered (my new favorite blog) The Man Repeller, and started digging into her archives. I came across this DIY turban tutorial, and I had to give it a try. For a whole day, I walked around Astoria with a silk scarf on my head – and boy was I hot. Literally. How do people wear turbans all day, every day? I had to take it off during The Social Network. I figured no one would notice.
