Happy Holidays

Music Monday: She and Him

Baby It's Cold Outside by She and Him


I'm busy making a gingerbread house for work. Which of course has me in the Christmas spirit. Thus the beauty of She and Him. Zooey and M are two of my very faves.  The fact that they have another swoon-worthy album that happens to be festive makes me a happy happy girl.

I'm a sucker for this song, like every other girl in America.  Did you notice they switched parts?  Genius! 

PS. My brother-in-law is going to die if he sees I posted this before Christmas!

LA via my Iphone









Highlights here. The real pictures to come very soon!

Happy Birthday to Me

My gift to myself.  Isn't she pretty?

I'm headed to LA today!

I feel like I'm cheating on New York.

That song. That city. Perfection.

Thanks Hayley for sharing.

Channelling Kate Spade



Because it's finally cold enough in Phoenix. And I was inspired by this colorful video!



State Fair









Phoenicians, Ferris Wheels and Fried Food.  It's a good time.

Yes, that's a fried cheesecake in the last photo.  Yes, it was party in my mouth!
