Be Merry and Bright (and Giveaway Winners)

Wishing you and yours the best for Christmas and New Year's, ladies. These pics were taken last week because today I'm feeling a bit under the weather. Nothing like bringing home an airborne pathogen to my most loved people in the world!

Have a wonderful time with your families and friends, remember that spending time with loved ones mean more than all the gifts in the world ... but there's something to be said for bundling up all together to go deal-hunting on the 26th isn't there?

      Hi Crewmum - I'll have the bag in a future post, but I'm very happy with my purchase. Very structured tote that stands up on its own when you place it down, long enough straps to fit comfortably over your shoulders, roomy interior and nice gold hardware. My only qualm is that the top closure is magnetic and it opens rather easily. For its current sale price plus addtl % off discount, I think it is more than worth it!

    I missed this dress in summer. Looks great. Love how you styled it for winter too. I never buy sleeveless dresses as I don't want to show my arms anymore (that happens when you get older. Brace yourself for the future, you young one. Or pray your genes are better than mine haha).
    Hope you have a lovely time with your loved ones and be sure I will continue following your blog in 2014.
