Twas the night before Christmas...

these photos were taken after we returned home ...the sleepies from the food and drink coma in full effect



What I'm Wearing ...it's actually a version of this outfit but with gray accents vs brown

* MYNE Ashly Ann white trapeze tank blouse from GILT with black tank under. And since the entire outfit was loose and un-body-con, I had to pump up the cleavage for the husband ;)
* Vintage Bill Kaiserman blazer/jacket {my absolute favorite - I've had it for at least 8 years}
* Vintage nylon pants ....tag says S.G. Sport Collection. I pegged the bottoms to cinch them in a bit with my Hem Gems
* Rosegold gray boots also from GILT ...which have indeed become my favorites of the moment. I just pull them on with everything it seems. {BlueFly has the brown pair available}
* gray feather earrings ...my mom got these for me last Christmas actually ...I think they're from Forever 21
* OPI nail polishes: One coat of You Don't Know Jacques! with a coat of My Private Jetover it

The husband has banned me from blogging this week ...insisting that I needed a break. And he's right. I do need a break. I need to collect my thoughts, reflect, open my eyes to new inspiration and get back to why I started blogging in the first place. But it's hard to stay away really. {I miss you guys}

So instead of a complete withdrawal from my internet life, I've decided to just remove all my self-imposed "blogging rules" and post whatever and whenever I get around to it ...for this week anyway. Besides, who's gonna want to see Christmas photos next week ...right? ;)

Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and are taking it easy this week like we are. {and if you can't find me here, I'm always on Twitter}






As tradition goes, Christmas Eve is always spent with my dad's side of the family and Christmas day with my mom's. And this year was no exception. Here are some photos of our night ...I only wish I had more. {you may be able to see more holiday photos from my family tagged in Facebook if you're following me, just fyi}
