Hi! Happy New Year! Geez, I have not blogged for a while, but I have been in Japan and I was without  internet connection for quite some time. I had a lovely trip even though it was freezing the snow was beautiful. I probably gained a few pounds, but it was worth it. The food was amazing as always (I will share some photos soon)! I miss Japan already, but I am glad to be back.

There and Back

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. The day after Thanksgiving we took a short camping trip up North. Luckily it did not rain, but it was freezing during the night. I had the hardest time sleeping in the tent. Half the time I was freaked out about some noises I heard, but my husband reassured me it would not attack us. Maybe posting a picture of myself with only a few hours of sleep is not the best idea, but I love my top I got from Milena (she has made some beautiful hand knits recently) and I have not gone a day without wearing my Matta scarf from Michelle's shop Pretty Mommy. My schedule has been crazy lately, and taking a good chunk of time off from blogging was the best thing for me, but I think it is about time I start again. 

Jewelry Box

All of these pieces make me drool. I learned of Jessica Winzelberg's jewelry from Joanna's amazing blog. I love the bracelets from dull Diamond I need that pair! Such eye candy! The Odette bracelet has been on my wish list for a while now, as well as the Aesa and Mociun pieces... I need a sugar daddy.

Beautiful look book from Electric Feathers F/W 11 collection.

A Detacher Spring 2012

 The color palette for the Spring 2012 A Detacher collection is perfect. The Marrimeko like flower patterns and the polka dots...sigh* And I can not wait to see the sandals in person.

Aren't these looks lovely?!

Getting in the mood for fall; tweed, plaids, oxfords, wool, cable knits, chunky scarves and the right  amount of je ne sais quoi.

Gratitude

Had a wonderful meal with my sister at Cafe Gratitude. I ordered, I am warmhearted; grilled polenta with fresh puttanesca sauce, topped with cashew ricotta and brazil nut parmesan...so good! For dessert the strawberry shortcake!

Built by Wendy Fall 11

Ooooh more Fall items trickling in. I love the royal blues and reds used in Built by Wendy's Fall 2011 collection. 

I am still wearing my light cotton tops and dresses, but these two looks are making me excited for the fall season.
