Holiday Music

via

I found this selection of songs on Pinterset a few weeks ago and it made me think of all the holiday music I love to listen to.  But there is only one song that I could listen to all year and is my favorite all time Christmas song, Wham - Last Christmas.  If you haven't heard it yet here's an awesometacular 80s Wham music video!

Let's talk about holiday parties.  I'm very lucky to work from home, but because were such a small company and holiday party would include two people, my mom and I, dressing up is out of the question.  I've always been a little jealous of those that get to work with others and outside of the home.  So this year I'm going to live vicariously through all of you that get to have a work holiday party this year!

I've put together a few items that I think would be perfect to wear this season.  A couple festive nail polishes, glamorous clothes and some fabulous jewelry!

I'd love to hear any of your holiday party moments and what you'll be wearing this year!

January is only a few months away, and if you're like me you dream of what changes you will make next year.  While perusing Pinterest I found this amazing DIY reusable calender that grows with each year.

via

What you need:

• A box or container to fit your calender in.
• Paper of your choice with each date listed on the page.

How it works:

• Re-use this calender each year by starting a new line with the new year.  
• Each day you will write something that happened that day, it can be big or small.
• Then 5, 10, even 20 years from now look back and see what you happened that day.  
• Enjoy the memories!

My Weekend

I took a trip to what I will call my new home in four months.  Currently I live in Southern Maryland, but I've learned that I've outgrown the area and am making the trip to Asheville, North Carolina.  

The area there is perfect for an artsy girl like me, and I can't wait to move!  The only thing that I'm not looking forward to is the moving part, yucky.

Here are a few photos I've taken while visiting!

1920s apartment building that I'm considering as a possible new home for me.

Mountain views.  I'm gladly giving up the water for this gorgeous view

Fall Fashion

Fall is here and the weather is getting crisp.  I've started to pull out a few winter essentials like boots, sweaters and scarves.  

I love going through all my items when a new season begins and another one ends, because it allows me to donate old items that I no longer wear, hem any pieces that might have holes and pick up a few items that need to be replaced. 

This season I've stocked up on long sleeve shirts, socks, a few sweaters and a new pair of boots.  Have you picked up any new items this fall?

Art can be expensive, let's make our own!  I love these letters (especially since they have rhinestones).

Here's what you need:

- Letters-  Michaels sells wooden letters and you can certainly find them online.
- Spray paint - Any local hardware store
- Rhinestones - Again Michaels sells them!
- Glue - I'll be using a hot glue gun. It's fast and keeps things in place
