A Dress for Any Occasion

A Dress for Any Occasion

So here we are, the first week of the new year.  I hope everyone had a fun and safe New Year's celebration this past weekend.  We were low key: had my sister-in-law and niece over on NYE, ordered some BBQ (and I made a from-scratch blueberry cobbler for dessert, which was mighty tasty, if I do say so myself), the kiddos played til their bedtime, then we adults watched a movie ("Antman", if you were curious. Wasn't bad, actually. I mean, it's a Marvel comic character, you can't expect serious art.)  We made it to midnight to ring in the new year, but I have to confess we were already in bed, and had the lights off by 12:01 am. ;)

The Nordstrom sale is in effect! Crap - I mean Yay! - I mean crap. No, yay, really it's yay. ;)  I may or may not have gotten some Nordy's gift cards for Christmas that need to be spent...here's some items I'm eyeing....

What to Wear for New Years Eve - Sequins!

What to Wear for New Years Eve - Sequins!

Whenever I think of sequins, I think of New Years Eve. Which is funny, because I think I've only worn sequins on NYE once in the past, but I always love them for the occasion.  We don't currently have any exciting plans for the evening (it gets harder with a 2 year old), but I'm still keeping my eye out for some good pieces in case we decide on a sparkly evening. Or maybe I'll just wear sparkles at home and be my own party! ;)

The Force Awakens - Cape Style

Ok, so who went and saw the new Star Wars this weekend?  I confess that my husband and I did, and have had our tickets since they first went on sale weeks ago.  I personally could have waited, but the one thing my husband is geeky about is Star Wars, and he was literally like a kid at Christmas time all last week counting down.  We were almost derailed on our Star Wars viewing journey in that I got sick the night before we were supposed to go, but I was feeling better the next day and we made it to our showing. Usually my husband love the trailers before movies, but he said for the first time ever they couldn't end fast enough, LOL. He was cute.
