Hello!  How was your weekend?  The weather has been really nice here and I have been spending a lot of time outdoors enjoying the sunshine, flowers, and my cat:)  It's awesome!  I can finally wear lighter dresses too. What I like about this time of year is being able to walk around and look up at all of the beautiful trees around the city.  My second favorite part of spring is looking down at all of the colorful flowers that are spread across the streets and sidewalks. Colors are emerging everywhere, much like this dress.  It's busy with lots of ruffles and prints.  This is an older dress, and I have paired it with last season's chunky heels from Sam Edelman.  These shoes are great because they are both comfortable, yet edgy. 

It's also time to do a little spring cleaning.  Have you cleaned out your closet yet?

Hello!  How are you doing?  Sorry to get this up so late, but I had taken a little hiatus from the blog during the holidays because I was having fun decorating the gazebo with some of my favorite little elves and celebrating of course (see sip of champagne in a fancy glass above) :)  It took days to set up this gazebo for our Christmas Party.  It was lots of work, but completely worth it.  

What did you do to get ready for the holidays?

Last year, I wore this dress for a Christmas party because I really like emerald green and I really like velvet.  This is my go to Christmas dress.  Last year I wore it with a gold sparkly belt and red blazer, and this year I decided to style it with an emerald and gold crystal vintage necklace.  Burgundy velvet was a nice change to accent this green outfit instead of wearing Christmas Red as well.  I Love these burgundy velvet stiletto heels by Guess. They are old, but I still love wearing them out during the winter season every chance I get.

What did you do to celebrate the holidays in 2016?
