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!

8 Gifts Of Christmas

The wait is finally over! As promised, we have our 2 final gift picks, and one lucky winner will get to take home one of these items with them!

Day 4

Gilded Glow by MIRABEllA is a recent find by dré, that had her wanting her own bottle the moment she sampled it! What you can expect from this product is stated perfectly in the description.

"Silky all-over highlighter smooths onto skin for a glistening golden glow. Pearlescent pigments conceal skin imperfections, enhance natural luster and create a radiant, long-wearing sheen."

Glistening, flawless skin? Yes, please! The thought just makes us want to hit the dance floor!

And finally! Our 8th gift pick this season! You all know that dré and din are gaga for nail polish, especially for OPI!

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 

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!

Season's Greetings, Lovelies! 

You may recall our 8 Days of Christmas posts from last year, well, we had so much fun and received a ton of great feedback that we are doing it again. This time with the gems!

Jumping for Julep!!

Fall/Winter 2012 is upon us....and you know what that means...CHANGE IN FASHION!!! While the majority of us are eager to hit up our favorite stores to indulge in the season's latest trends, others may be more limited due to insufficient funds in their pocketbook.

Don't despair! Changing your nail color may possibly be one of your most inexpensive options while giving an always appreciated "pick me up". And what's even more exciting is that this season there is a nail color sure to suit you...don't believe me? How about Oprah!?!!

Oprah's favorite things are here again, and on the list is Julep! This unique nail salon started in Seattle, Washington back in 2007 and has really grown into something amazing! There are now four locations all in the Seattle area, but for those that live far away, there is an option for you to get in on the action! By clicking on this link, www.julep.com you can start to explore! Take their quiz and find out what your style profile is. You can then decide if you would like to become a Maven and get a personalized box of nail colors and product delivered to you every month! And it gets better...ALL of the polishes are FREE of toxins! Now that's a reason to be jolly!

XOXO Dré

O Say! Can You See?

Dawn's early light is shining bright! And let's not get started on the heat! This July 4th holiday, we suggest you snag your boyfriend's lounge chair and pull down your shades to beat the heat in style with Tom Ford's 'Daphne' sunglasses.

These vintage cat-eye frames with gradient lenses will surely compliment any outfit you decide to celebrate this fine country's independence...and any day thereafter!

They're so gorgeous, in fact, our pal Blayne might not be the only with a Tom Ford write-in.
