I love the Swedish Chef. He is so pleasant. I've met a few Swedes in my life and they were equally amiable.

The shirt under this dress is sort of tunic-y & unflattering. I haven't worn it really since I first got it. But I decided to try the shirt-I-like-the-top-of-but-is-otherwise-ill-fitting-under-a-dress strategy again.

{brrrrr...}

It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas

Oh geez. Or am I just starting to look a lot more like Christmas? In my own mind, I always refer to this as my Christmas cardigan. I couldn't wait to break it out, I guess.

I have done most of my Christmas shopping in the last couple of days, and all from my own bed. No malls for me. I do have to venture out to get some supplies for a few gifts I am making however, and I am looking forward to being done with that task. Have you all braved the crowds?

Black Friday

I wore some of my brightest colors in protest of Black Friday and the mayhem it represents. If you are brave enough to venture out into the insanity on this famous day, I applaud your adventurous spirit, you are far braver than I.

Peanut + I had brunch with a lovely friend, picked up a Pumpkin Spice Latte (black coffee for P) on the way home, and mostly did a lot of work and holiday planning (dreaming really, we accomplished nothing tangible). It was the perfect way to nudge ourselves out of the turkey coma.

It is cold + snowy here, and the dreamy fog of the long, luxurious summer/fall we enjoyed is undeniably over. When we were getting ready for photos, I headed out in the cold and Peanut reminded me that besides being practical, winter stuff is fashion too (i.e. "dress warmer crazy lady!"), so per his advice I bundled for most of these shots.
