Le Printemps. "A hush is over everything, Silent as women wait for love; the world is waiting for the spring."-Sara Teasdale 

Tick, tock!  I am pleased to introduce my newest dream purchase - a vintage ladies art deco watch.  Please commence drooling now.  All donations will be oh so graciously accepted!  Kidding, I assure you.  A girl can dream, right?

Pink-a-boo!  Pink, rose, magenta, bubblegum, blush, peach, coral, rosy, flush, salmon, fuchsia.  This is what growing up in a pink house will do to a girl.  Falling in love with this color again...! Images via neimanmarcus.com.

I'm so embarrassed!  Do New Year's resolutions still count if they're made in February?  If so, I vow to BLOG MORE.  So please excuse the absence of posts.  With the holidays, work, and other various events my blog has become the thing I hate most- an unfinished project.  More to come SOON!

"I'm dreaming of a white Christmas..."  If you live in Dallas, you know that we're in for some nasty weather this evening.  Although we will not be seeing any snow tonight, we can cuddle up on the couch and enjoy an old holiday flick.  One of my favorites is White Christmas, a musical starring Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye.  The film also co-stars Vera-Ellen and George Clooney's dear old aunt, Rosemary Clooney.

Tis' the season to wear sequins!  Like a moth to a flame, I was drawn to these sequin covered UGG Australia 'Classic Short Sparkles' boots in Nordstrom the other day.  I think I might have to add them to my Christmas list.  What color would you go for?  Passion purple, silver, or black?  All images via www.uggaustralia.com.

Turkey time table manners.  "Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others.  If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter what fork you use." - Emily Post

Queen of Spades.  Do you ever walk into a store, and feel like it was created just for you?  Like someone dreamt up a brand tailor made for your style?  I tend to feel that way about Kate Spade.  After perusing their new arrivals today, I think I might have to splurge on the Merino 'Ooh la-la!' sweater.

Table for two.  This time a year ago, Casey and I were a little less than a month away from tying the knot.  Suddenly my parents' living room was transformed into a winter wonderland.  Because it was so packed with moss filled vases, ivory stick trees and other holiday decorations; we were unable to hold our traditional Thanksgiving feast at the pink house.  Pictured above is one of the remnants from the affair - an Edwardian script table number accented with vintage glass glitter.

Les Cadeaux Fantastiques.  It's here!  It's here!  The 2011 Neiman Marcus Christmas Book just recently came out.  If I had all the money in the world I would purchase one of each of these "fantasy gifts".   One International Flower Show Tour for all the ladies to fuss over, and one Neiman Marcus Edition Hacker-Craft Speedboat for men to smoke cigars on.  Got it, Santa?
