The last couple of years, I was all about the colored tights. I’ve shied away from them this year, though. But after wearing, what feels like, mostly neutrals and muted/dark colors as of late, I was in need of some color therapy. So I broke out some of my brightest brights. I love the contrast against the white dress and white snow.

I’m a camera hog. I admit it.
If we are out and about, out on an adventure, I’m the one with the camera in my hand. But the thing is - Boo really likes photography too. So while I was out of town a couple of weeks ago, Boo had the chance to explore and take photos of things other than my outfit photos. I must say, he did a pretty good job. Maaaaybe I’ll let him have the camera a little more often.
Maybe.

I’m completely smitten with these pants. And this comfy outfit.
Over the weekend, Boo and I headed into Boston for a date night day. We wandered the streets and alleys of Beacon Hill (so adorable. can I live there now?), went to the science museum and played among all the tiny people, and then finished the day with a full DVR and a bowl of popcorn. It was a pretty successful day, if I do say so myself.

Have you entered the Jose Eber clipless curling iron giveaway?! Well you should! You have until thursday night to enter.
…………………….
Thank you to everyone who has been voting for me in Cotton’s Road To The Runway Contest! The second round is almost over… could I ask for your vote again? I’m almost to the final round!
Ever since I chopped off my long hair back in October, I’ve become more and more obsessed with curling my hair. It’s very rare for me to keep my hair straight these days! So when the lovely people at Jose Eber sent me one of their clipless curling irons, I was super excited to try it out.
I must say - I’m pretty impressed with it, and I don’t think I will be going back to my regular curling iron any time soon. The best part is that the curls have lasted longer than any other curls I’ve tried. I’m writing this post the day after taking these photos, and my hair is just as curly now as what you see here. And that’s impressive. Especially for my hair, which hates holding a curl.
Other perks? It comes with a heat resistant glove, so you don’t burn your hand while your holding your hair so close to the barrel. And it comes in cute prints like this giraffe one. I mean, come on.
I’m sold.
And now you have a chance to win a 19mm clip less curling iron yourself! Just enter using the Rafflecopter form below. Madatory entry - follow Jose Eber on Facebook. After that, you have five more chances to enter. Good Luck! Giveaway ends promptly at 12:00AM Feb. 8th. Winner will be announced in this post.
Something pretty cool happened. My sister made a baby. And I got to be there to welcome him into the world.
His name is Liam Padraic, and he has a pretty awesome puppy big sister named Lady Lily. She cries when he cries, and gives him lots of kisses when he’s happy. They’re already best friends. And quite possibly the cutest things in the entire world.
But I guess I’m a little biased.
I’m usually a pretty good packer. I will start weeks before my trip, and then obsess over everything until I have the perfect combination.
And, with a teeny suitcase filled mostly with photography equipment, I packed very little clothes for this trip. I had to remix the crap out of the few items I did pack. It would’ve made a good little mini remix feature for the blog….. If I would’ve thought to photograph more outfits. But I didn’t. Of course.
So you get this one.
Next time, I swear!

As promised, my next group of new items is up and ready in the shop! I have small bow hair clips, and a couple of larger hair combs. I can only do the hair combs in the two colors at the moment, but hopefully down the road I can do it in more!
In other news, I now accept direct checkout, as well as Etsy gift cards. Woohoo!
…..
Stay tuned in a few weeks for brand new items. P.S - I’m super excited about these ones!
I wore this out last week for date night with Boo. We went all rebellious and had dessert for dinner. I’m talking chocolate mousse, peanut butter pie, ice cream sundaes, and white hot chocolate. Yes, we had all of that. For dinner.
But the craziness stopped there. We were home by 7, with our butts on the couch, picking our favorites in a fantasy hockey draft. I know - exciting. You don’t have to tell me :)
