code "gratitude"

We are so blessed. Right now I'm sitting in a warm apartment (one that's spacious and all my own), preparing to head over (in my car) to a friend's for a lively Thanksgiving dinner. I say "we" because many of you are in similar situations. Whatever your walk in life, whatever your current situation, just know that you are a part of my blessing today.

Your continued support of two girls' creative outlet is heartwarming. It is my hope, and surely dré's as well, that you continue to find inspiration here. Whether it's fall trends like those shown above, beauty tips, or fun finds we are gushing over, we love the fashion world and thank you for your readership!

with hugs and gratitude,

8 Gifts of Christmas

Day 3

So far, our favorite pics will have your hair lookin' right and your body lookin' tight. Now, it's time to accessorize!

Baby, it's cold outside! We just love the look of fur and find it to be an excellent way to get glam. Save a collie and your budget-- check out this sweet coat from H&M:

H&M, $59.95

We wouldn't think of attending a festive soirée in anything but a fabulous pair of heels, and neither should you! Check out these fabulous pumps from Nordstrom:

DV by Dolce Vita 'Ferris', $98.95

Nordstrom has a great selection of heels and boots this season. Visit the flagship store in downtown Seattle and receive a personalized shopping experience! Call 206.628.2111 and ask to schedule with Veronica Garcia.

2 weeks...

I can't believe the time is almost here for me to head back to the west coast. Or as some might say-- the best coast. I definitely am in need of a touch base, and as the days near my flight departure I realize more desperately so.

So, what's the line up? In the first three days I'll be attending a concert with my sister, the nutcracker and a Christmas party with dré. Whew! It's gonna be a jet set weekend! What's this mean? I need to have outfits that are both fun and easy. Here are a few options that I'm using for inspiration-- what do you think?

Leather

Sparkle

Tulle

See you [west coast friends] in two weeks!
