» Lately, I’ve really been loving blogs with clean, simple, greyscale layouts. So on a whim late last night, I gave the ole blog here a little makeover. The layout is still the same, only cosmetic changes have been made. And hey, I tend to change my mind a lot, so who knows - I may be back to color by spring. But for now I thought I would give this a go. (And I updated the shop to match!)
» I also switched over to Passionfruit for sponsorships. You can now view all advertising information, and apply for a spot, right from my sponsor page on the left hand sidebar!

Nothing says cozy like flannel and oversized knits. All I need is a giant cup of hot chocolate to go with it.
P.S - see the first time I wore this outfit here.

Back in the beginning of December, Boo and I were watching the Glee Chrsitmas episode. Honestly, it was a horrible episode. But at one point Santana was wearing this really awesome fuzzy deer sweater. Without even thinking, I said out loud to myself -“oooooooh I real like that sweater”. As I usually do. I always comment on clothing in TV shows. Obvs. Anyway, right after that, I thought that Boo had resorted to playing games on his iPad. But really, he was doing a few google searches to try and find that sweater.
FYI - it’s from Guess. And my husband is kinda awesome.

Well January came in with a bang, didn’t it? Snow, negative temperatures, lots of complaining my me. At least Boo got a 5 day weekend out of it. We’ve been doing a whole lot of nothing. And it’s been amazing.

It’s official, Henry really does not like the snow. Like, really really. Don’t worry - he was only out there for a minute and then he was back to being warm and cozy in his favorite…. cardboard box.
I really don’t blame him though. We are now burred in snow and hoping that there is no reason to go outside into the negative degree temperatures. I’d be happy with this weekend consisting only of pajamas and soup and netflix.
Stay warm, my friends.
For a long time I’ve longed for a big fluffy tulle skirt. I came close to purchasing different ones here and there. I’ve even thought about making one, and then just… didn’t. Because I’m lazy. And then I spotted this one, and with the help of a christmas gift card, I made my tulle skirt dreams come true.
It’s real love.
And I must say, a real good outfit start to 2014.

I received an Etsy gift card for Christmas and have been painstakinly trying to decided exactly what to get. My favorites are full of such amazing things! It doesn’t help that I’m a notoriously indecisive person. Here are just a few of the things that I’m thinking about.
