 Happy Holidays friends!As you can see, it was such a beautiful day outside, when we took these photos! The forecast the night before was 4-6 inches of snow, and knowing Charlotte, that may mean a dusting. When i woke up, it was as I figured, but kind of wet, dark, damp and cold. So, we quickly braved the cold and my Truffle's tail was wagging after i put her sweater on, only to learn she was to go outside and be cold!I thought besides sharing my dressier Holidays looks, that i would give you a view of what we will all wear Christmas Eve. We are going to my in-laws in Harleysville, near Philly. My mother in law has never seen the puppies in their Santa Suits or "Ugly sweaters", so I thought this year was the time. This is the first year the pups have been there for Christmas. So, I bought this sweater last year from H&M, because, you know why! it has a puppy on it!! Gibson and Truffles sweaters I bought at Target, and Hubby had to get the Star Wars one from Amazon. I'll have to get a photo of him while we are away, in his sweater, he was behind the camera!

 Morning Ladies!I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Ours was busy with more decorating, and my plan to take pictures of us ( me, my hubby, Gibby and Truffles, all in our "Ugly' sweaters!) So, do stay tuned for that post. The pup's sweaters are more "cute' than ugly, but if you have seen the recent batch at Target for pups, they do live up to the name, woah!Today I have styled one of my favorite style of Karina Dress, the RUBY. I love the 3/4 sleeves and the faux wrap style. This is so flattering on all figures and of course I went for the jewel tone-rich plum. Jewel tones are really great to wear any time of year, but i love them for the Holidays. Reds, Golds, Emerald.. You know i love rich colors!

Happy Friday ladies!I thought I would talk about tips or how I enjoy the Holidays with my chonic pain condition, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. If you are a regular reader, you know that I have been dealing with this genetic condition for almost 10 years now. People without a condition may find the Holidays stressful. Lots of running around, preparing the house for company, shopping for loved ones, making meals, and possibly traveling. If I let myself get overwhelmed, I can easily feel anxious or stressed as well. If you are one with a chronic pain condition, I hope to share some of the ways to make the Holidays enjoyable, and not set you back with your health during this time.

 Hello Ladies,As the Holiday approaches, I love to dress up various look for the season, be it for Holiday parties, going out to dinner, or Christmas Day itself. I am really looking forward to traveling to Harleysville, PA to visit with my husband's parents, as we hit the road with the puppies. I have been decorating the house, and even though we won't be here, I have enjoyed putting up the tree, garland, and decorating the mantel.Here we are into December, and I want to introduce you to a Brand that is new to me that I am sure you will love-Joseph Ribkoff. Joseph Ribkoff is a premier Canadian designer, and I was contacted by one of the stores that sells the most of his Brand-1ereAvenue. I wanted to put together a Holiday look and this red blouse with  black high-waisted pants, were one of my first choices.

Good morning Ladies,I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend? Are you getting the house ready for the Holidays? I am looking forward to traveling to visit my in-laws and taking the puppies for the Holidays. It is typically an 11 hour drive, but since that is too tough for me, we make a pit stop at my brother's house overnight, and then only travel 3 hours the second day. That is do-able! We enjoyed an evening at one of our favorite wine bars on Friday, with some smooth and flavorful cherry noted Pinot Nior and some scrumptious sushi we picked up nearby. Today i am sharing with you another Holiday outfit, as I have wanted to pair blush pink and burgundy for a bit now, and I knew what pieces i was ready to style.

 Morning Friends,I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. I had my mind set that we could get some of the Christmas decorations up, as my niece would be helping with the Christmas tree. I also bought lighted garland for the banister with cranberries intersperced throughout with a large Christmas bow finishing the look. Yesterday, I styled a look for an office party or get together for the Holidays. I will be sharing more Holiday looks throughout the season.Today, I decided to share my love of texture and color with a look for Fall.

 Good morning ladies,i hope everyone had a great weekend. I think we have left overs from Thanksgiving to last us a few weeks. My hubby loves hot turkey sandwiches and the smoked turkey we got was so good! I have done most of my Christmas shopping and do so all on-line. I remember i used to start quite early, and i would end up just buying more, seeing something while you are out that someone would like. It is too tempting. I wanted to share an outfit today that would be lovely to wear for a get together with friends for the Holidays or an office party. I used to teach in the Elementary and Music classrooms, so this outfit would have worked great for our school parties. So even though, I do not have an office job, i was thinking that this would be something that would be special for the Holidays.
