Sparkling in the New Year!

Hello Lovelies!  Sorry that my last post didn't work out too well with You Tube blocking some of you from watching our holiday video.  I tried directly uploading it to blogger, but it came out very grainy.  Ah well, onto a new post and a new year!  Anyone have any extravagant New Year plans?

Ring Ting Tinglin'

"Just hear those sleigh bells jingling', ring ting tingling' to, Come on it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you. Outside the snow is fallin' and friends are calling' "you-who""

Chrismas is just around the corner and I, like everybody else, am so excited to see my family and friends!!!  When I was younger my sister Ashley and I used to listen to a Disney version of the Sleigh Ride song.  Whenever I hear it now, I can't help but to impersonate Goofy's voice saying, "You-whoooo"!  Don't be surprised if you are my friend and live in WI and you literally hear me knocking on your door, "You-whoo"!  (Because I am so excited to get my holiday on!) Pictures below are from Opryland!  There was a 30 min line of cars waiting to get in the gates and take those Christmas photos.  Now after visiting, I understand why.  It's Christmas Magic in there guys!  Linking up with the Holiday Style Link-Up.  Happy Holidays all, I'll be seeing ya soon!!!

Angels & Cocoa

Lately it has been pretty chilly in our Nashville nook, and I have had no desire to be dressed up in anything other than my cozy (polar bear like) pajama pants.  Plus, the V.S. Fashion Show was on last night- with my fave Angel, Lily Aldridge.  (Her persona on the show was exactly how she is in real life- read about our encounter here.)  What was your favorite costume?  Mine probably had to be one of the ship wrecked theme ones, beautiful!

And we got some new winter/ holiday pillows!

Best way to watch the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show- with hot chocolate & cookies.

Especially after a cold day!

CHEERS!

With a Twist of Lime!

Holiday party time with a twist of Lime!  How did y'all fair over Black Friday weekend?  I picked up this great embellished top from Anthropologie, the color is so fun.  Just what one needs for these days when it starts to get dark at 4!  Make sure to scroll all the way down to enter the $200 Paypal Giveaway!!!  Winning would probably brighten the dark day as well!  (Giveaway has now ended, Congrats to Alyson, shall I send you my Christmas list? ;) )  Linking up with IFB #126
