Furr the Love of Tuesday

For the love of Tuesday! I finally have a moment to catch up on chores and errands. Here's what I'll be buzzing around in today. A sensible vest with my go-to Levi's (love that the pockets give my backside a little umph!), and a fall staple-- riding boots!

So what's left on the agenda? Laundry, a matinee, and class tonight!

When we look back at 2013, we see adventures had, goals reached, and new dreams to set our eyes toward. Here's to 2014! May we dream bigger, reach higher, and remain ever fancy!

We're driving Cadillacs in our dreams.

Holiday Glam

Whenever you have an opportunity to glam it up, take advantage!! We hit up two locales for dancing and catching up with friends last night. First, the Gene Juarez Salon (Downtown) holiday party at 22 Doors, then See Sound Lounge.

As you can see, dré successfully completed her tutu DIY. She was referred to as the reigning princess all night (but of course we know that tutus are for ballerinas!). Her burgundy crop top and gold heels and accessories completed the look exquisitely. 

din wore a party dress from the ages! A short, black, sequined mini with a full tulle skirt fit to twirl on the dance floor. She accessorized with a skull knuckle clutch, emerald earrings, bold rings, black booties, and simple faux fur coat ;)

We love holidays for all the cheer and fellowship it brings! What a compliment to the reason for the season, right?!

The Nutcracker

Back in 2nd grade at Terrace Heights Elementary, we performed in the school production of The Nutcracker. (din was 8, dré was 7.) The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies has passed onto the next generation as Kiya, 7, and Adrienna, 4, were in their first production of The Nutcracker this year. Only they one upped us by performing with a professional ballet company at The Capitol Theatre in Yakima.

We took to our closets to pull out festive wardrobes for our evening at the ballet. din wore a long, one-shoulder fitted formal with a faux fur coat, and accessoried with gaudy jewelry and a skull knuckle clutch. dré wore a military style coat with a skater skirt and black tights. Her sky-high heels weren't enough to deter patrons from thinking dré was a part of the production-- "Are you the lead Mouse Cadet!?"

Our holiday reunion is starting off pretty fancy, don't you think?

Roughin' It

The WV cabin I stayed at this past weekend had a lot of layers. Including this yoga studio (which could double as a dance hall for receptions) that looked out to the forest. The adjoining loft space was a hidden treasure, too. Not only was it a blissful way to sleep under the stars, it also gave access to a zip line! [ I didn't attempt more than a photo next to the end point. ]

Below are pictures of the view from the cabin, right outside of the yoga studio. We were blessed with great weather. It was chilly, but not enough to keep us indoors. Some hiked or took long walks, someone even went on a bike ride! None of us, fortunately, came across any bears. If we had, this might be a different post!

I love nature's beauty even though I'm not one to really go roughin' it out in the deserted woods somewhere. And, I love being able to detach and unwind sometimes. This place was great 'cus it gave me a little bit of both.
