Christmas in Chicago

My second Christmas in Chicago has come and gone. It may not have been a white Christmas, but famous Buddy was featured on People magazine's website and nothing could ever beat that. I always knew my pup was handsome & perfect. This validates all of those feelings.

My cozy little apartment has been very festive for Christmas with Santa there to greet you as you walk in. The Burberry ornament is a favorite of mine and I love that my wrapping paper had a touch of pink & sparkle. 

Lots of delicious carbs. Gingerbread man shaped pumpkin bread, Lesley's Mexican wontons [you can see that the top two were made without meat for me], Trader Joe's appetizers and a delicious Christmas dinner followed by candy cane ice cream. Lots & lots of lounging around with the boys watching Christmas movies in my new Christmas pajamas.

I received some lovely gifts including the Bobbi Brown party palette  and a sparkly pink ornament. Pink & sparkles. 

Did a little shopping on Monday where I picked up some gorgeous Ralph Lauren boots 70% off & a chunky Vince sweater 50% off. I love a good sale! I also finally found the gold dot Kate Spade iPhone cover.

Thank you all for the comments on this post! Loved getting to know you. Photo shoot this morning followed some graphic design work & an afternoon of working on The Everygirl with Alaina. I cannot believe that we launch in Feb! It is just around the corner.

'Twas a wonderful Christmas. Hope your holiday was Merry & Bright!

  1. We didn't have a White Christmas in NYC either and I was kinda bummed about it. Buddy is seriously the cutest. I think he'll be in print ads very soon. Still jealous about the boots!
