Christmas Eve







The past few weeks have been crazy! Between Nutcracker practices for my girls, and parties to attend, I haven't gotten much sleep! With that said, today was needed!

My favorite uncle is in town, so I scooped him up this morning for a coffee date with my girls and me. I decided to be a bit more casual this morning, since I'll be dressing it up tonight for a Christmas Eve service at church. 

The coffee was tasty, the decorations were festive, the company was fantastic, and my youngest wore her Minnetonka moccasins to match me <3 

Merry Christmas! 

XOXO dré

Summit


Washington state. Mountains to sound. If you've ever crossed Snoqualmie Pass, then you have witnessed the beauty of this trek. Traveling during holiday season can sometimes be daunting, but I hope you take a moment to stop and embrace the wonders around you.

Just make sure you bundle in a fun winter coat to stay warm!

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?

Lost And Found




 
Have you ever had something that has "mysteriously" gone missing? I know I have, on more than one occasion! One of those items, for me, was a pair of Marc by Marc Jacobs sunglasses, that I bought over 4 years ago! I loved them, they treated me well, and then they vanished.
 
The Saturday after the Thanksgiving that we just had, while I was sitting at a red light, I got rear ended. My car is totaled, but my girls, who were in the car with me, and I am alright! As I cleaned my things out of the car, in preparation for it to be towed away, I was able to find a bit of joy in the wreckage! My shades! They had buried themselves deep underneath some other items that were in my side door.
 
In the midst of this holiday season, I am especially thankful for my family! I'm also grateful to be alive! You never know what day might be your last so make it count! My future is lookin' so bright right now, I'm glad I found my shades!!
 
XOXO dré

Hot Or Hot Mess??

Christmas is just around the corner, and I can hardly wait! In addition to the spirit of giving, and the miracle of the season, I adore a good holiday party!  Not only do I have a company Christmas party and a Nutcracker performance to attend ( my baby girls are staring in btw! ), but din is arriving in just over a week! All of this means I need to be fab

I, however, have 2 problems.
1. I have had zero success finding anything I like in the stores.
2. I have a limited budget.

Cross your fingers for me! I don't know how to sew, but I'm giving it a go! Stay posted for pics of me (hopefully) looking hot for whatever party comes my way! 



XOXO dré

Saints v Seahawks

Ay! I'm torn! Tonight my fav team New Orleans Saints plays against the home team Seattle Seahawks. Who Dat Nation v 12th Man. Cool Brees v Hustle Like Russell.

So, who do you think I should root for tonight? Is it home-team or bust? Or, should I cheer on the black and gold?

"My heart wants roots. My mind wants wings. I can not bear their bickerings." 

din for Seattle Seahawks

din for WHO DAT nation

Catch the two leading powerhouses faceoff tonight at 8:40P EST. Honestly I just want a great game, no injuries, and #12 Colston to get a TD!

Cover Story | December 2013

We've officially entered into my birthday month. If you grew up in the 90s like me, then you, too, are familiar with the power duo who created (and capitalized on) the "tween market". So, I find it fitting that this month's cover story feature the two women (although slightly younger) who have been inspiring me for years-- the Olsen twins.

Each have dueling covers this month for Allure magazine. There was something about Ashley's cover that spoke to me, so I grabbed it.


It is not often that the two come out from backstage to take the spotlight. At 27, they've purposely been behind "the mask" so that the quality of their work speaks for itself. There's no doubt that this quality has spread like wildfire as their parent company, Dualstar, and its trendsetting fashion brands The Row, Elizabeth and James, and even the line exclusive to JCP, Olsenboye, swells with quality and success. Now as they prepare to release their next venture to intrigued fashionistas and loyal fans, they choose to step out from behind the scenes to promote their first fragrances (twins do things in pairs, after all): Nirvana Black and Nirvana White.

I don't have the seeing-eye, but I have a strong hunch that they've put in the work to yield another hit.

When you're this hard-working, driven, focused, and have established the longevity to pursue creative and curious travel down unknown avenues, there's no telling what category these women will conquer next.


The fragrances, Nirvana Black and Nirvana White, will be sold exclusively at Sephora.

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
Oversize Collar Shearling Jacket
leather cuff from Lilac Bijoux

Sparkle
code name: drédin
code name: drédin

Tulle
Monique Lhuillier
Free People Raw Tulle skirt

See you [west coast friends] in two weeks!
