Wedding Wednesday {Holidaze}

I know the holiday season is not the most popular wedding time of the year, but having just attended a December nuptial last weekend, I've got winter weddings on the brain.

Then I spied the new JL Designs Couture Holiday Collection, combined with the recent Christmas-themed fete a gaggle of wedding planning extraordinaires threw in LA -- the perfect palette and styling inspiration that now has me totally on the holiday wedding bandwagon!

Especially when it involves a Chloe lookalike named Bossy!

Have you been to any particularly fabulous winter weddings? I'd love to see some shots of your faves. Do send them my way!

Snow Day!

Winter has come early to the Pacific Northwest so I'm going to use the excuse to stay in my PJs and goof off a bit!

I couldn't leave you hanging though - so how about a little gratuitous cuteness to make your day!

In the meantime, check out the latest issue of Rue Magazine. The goodness goes on for days (and I'm not just saying that because I'm in this one, I swear!)

I've Got a Crush

By popular demand I had to share my biggest crush these days. I give you....Chloe!



Everyone could use a little cuteness on a Friday morning, right?! She certainly brightens my day, not that I'm biased or anything.

Cheers luvies!

When Life Has You by the Ankles

Sometimes you just have to grin and bare it.

At least that's been the story of my life this week. I'm so sorry to leave you hanging yesterday -  things have been more nutty than usual these days!

Has your week been that way too? I can't imagine I'm the only one. But since there wasn't a new post yesterday I hope you  made some good use of your 30 secs - 1 min  30 secs of free time!

I would highly recommend taking another 30 seconds to  enter the $100 Shopbop giveaway. It's not too late! You have until 9:00 am PST today!

Happy Friday,

Our New Arrival

This morning I got up earlier than is really civil to board a plane, fly to another state and return with a very special care package and I'm so excited to share her with all of you.

Meet our newest family member - Chloe!!

She is the French Bulldog I've wanted for years and the fiance and I are thrilled. We just couldn't wait until we were married to start our family. ;) I'll do my best to be light on the Chloe posts but I'm not making any promises. 

For those of you looking for your regularly scheduled Monday Work Wear, have no fear - you can check out my guest post on Where the Sidewalk Begins while I head back to puppy-ville!

Happy Monday luvies!

Puppy Love

I tend to leave the gift guides to those who do it oh so well (this is my current favorite) but when I spotted Best in Park I couldn't resist sharing.

A proud puppy would look so great with a well-heeled leash.
