'tis the season...for animal-print...

Another occasion to get into the holiday spirit…

I was invited to attend a Christmas party by a

fabulous lady I met recently at the

Madigral Feaste (seen here).

It was a beautiful evening

 and I had the opportunity to meet some wonderful women.

And…nothing says Christmas like animal-print?!
(and apparently...big hair!?)

I love animals…both in life and print…

and purchased this skirt a few weeks ago…

hoping for the chance to wear it.
It's only one of many leopard/cheetah prints in my closet.

It worked out well…

The lady’s home was decorated not only for the holidays…

but splashes of animal-print throughout…

including some pieces she shared hanging in her closet!

Ahhh…a fellow cheetah-girl!!

I also love jewelry…

and used this as an opportunity to display some of my

recent jewelry creations. 

I hope everyone is getting into the holiday spirit…

either in festive red and green…

or your favorite "Christmas" prints!!

lacey days...

Ever since Sex and The City 2 when Carrie appeared

 in a long, full shirt with a short frilly skirt…

I have been in search of the very same.

It didn’t seem like it would take much effort…

I actually came across “onesies” at American Eagle and Kohls.

 Long sweaters with chiffon skirts attached…I purchased with delight!

I found that adult “onesies” are not a good thing…

at least not for my figure I guess…

these were made for women with less of a bottom half.

Any movement of the arms and people would be seeing a lot more of me…

you know…where the sun doesn’t shine!?

So…back to the stores they went…

yet I continued my search for this Carrie-esque ensemble.

 You see…I am a bit O.C.D…”a bit” may not begin to describe…

I do not let go of a want or desire very easily…

like waiting ten minutes for the urge to devour a cupcake goes away...

it...does...not...go...away...

I eat the cupcake and no one gets hurt.

Sorry...I digress...(yet another issue...)

I managed to come up with this combination from Kohls…

an LC by Lauren Conrad sweater and Vera Wang lacey skirt...

which quelled my obsession...at least this one!?
