Hello there,

I'm back from a long weekend of Christmas tree chopping, antique mall shopping, and hopping along in the mounds of snow that got dump upon my hometown while we were there for a visit...but more on that another time.  

Anyhow, as Black Friday has come and gone - the Mr. and I spent that particular day in Philly and yanked ourselves out of bed early ... well early for us that is, and hit the city to catch a couple deals or two.  Of course, that meant making a little ol pitstop at Anthropologie - um, like my favorite one ever because it's four whole stories of Anthro gorgeousness!  Lucky for me, the whole store was 20% off including all sale items, so I snagged myself a mushroom top that I have been eyeing up for a while and some more plates to decorate my dining room wall with.  Exciting times fo sho because any other day, Anthro is way out of my tiny little clothing budget.  3 cheers to feeling like you made out like a bandit.  On a side note - I've been wearing these boots, that hat, and lugging around this purse on ye ol blog a lot lately - this is what comes from holiday travels and living out of a suitcase.  Hope you don't mind. ;-)

So that's just that.  Today is a lazy one that involves hanging ornaments and making more hot chocolate to keep my toes and noes warm in this snowy weather.  

Love Bunches,

  5. Those boots are so lovely! They deserve to be worn with every outfit! You look so adorable as always! Your layering skills are amazing. I really need to work on that. I loooove Rittenhouse Square! I live only a few minutes away via bike and I'm there usually at least once a week! The area is gorgeous. Have you ever eaten at the Marathon over there? (They have a few others in the city too), it's so good!

  9. I love how perfectly your hat and coat match. You look so beautiful in them, and such lovely textures too.

    I wanted to say thanks for the thoughtful comment on my post about toys. You know they have Lego advent calendars now too? You can Christmas scenes and everything. I think they are lovely. I have a Playmobil one. I think shopping for boys seems a little less gendered because it's usually that the normal thing is for boys and then there is a 'girl' version. However I do think boys then have problems wanting to play with dolls as people really over-react as though that's shameful. And really action figures are just like dolls too, just with a different word!

  11. Beautiful pictures! I really love the colourful bag. :) And the boots are fab! Sometimes you can score some really great stuff at Marshall's! I have a Michael Kors trench I got there a year and a half ago that I wear all the time.
    Thanks for you sweet comment on my blog. I had a bad day today, but that made me smile.
