Winter Sparkle

~~~~~~~

My friend invited me to spend a few days in a Poconos cabin. The snow was beautiful and there was perfect snowboarding weather.

The view from the window early one morning.

Even a few deer passed by. They aren't nearly as shy as those in Jersey.

The fire I stocked up in the midst of a freezing night.

All I can think of are these beautiful, glamorous dresses in this

kind of weather. Perfect for the many parties of the season.

These shoes cannot be more perfect:

Christmas Eve

~~~~~~~

Merry Christmas! Well, almost. Enjoy the family time and smell of the tree on your Christmas. Currently loving anything & everything absolutely glamorous. I know I'll be spending my break in my father's sweaters watching Breakfast at Tiffany's with billions of magazines. Or homework.

Snuggle up with these coyuchi striped wool blankets. I could fall asleep looking at them.

My dream is to dress as lovely as these women look, every single day. Stunning and a blast from the past, Nadinoo is the prefect daydream.

What is more glamorous than a soak in a claw footed bath tub?

Cozy On Up

There is nothing more wonderful than books. My favorite thing in the world is to either spend my day in the library or cozy up and dive into another book. It is the perfect season to pick up good reads and enjoy them thoroughly.

A few books I'm reading currently or have read-

• The Time Traveler's Wife - Audrey Niffenegger
• Invisible - Paul Auster
• Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte
• A Certain Slant of Light - Laura Whitcomb

But certainly reading books are only one of their values. Books are the best accessories to any room. Your personal library can show your personality as much as your closet can. Displaying books takes space, but is well worth the shelf space. Here a few glamorous views of books in different homes that I am in love with. (Sorry for the unknown sources- I saved these a while ago to my computer!!)

Music Update--

[top left] Regina Spektor (Us, Eet, On the Radio) -

Love, love her. Her voice is very unique and her easy melodies will have you singing along in not time. The song "Us" was featured in 500 Days of Summer, which has the BEST soundtrack. Worth checking out.

[top right] Emiliana Torrini (Jungle Drum) -

This song is amazing. She also has other songs that are very easygoing (different from this jammer).

[bottom left] Ashley Tisdale (Crank It Up) -

I know what you are thinking... Ashley Tisdale? But, her newest album was a shock to my system. Though I previously liked her song "He Said, She Said," on this album, I liked the majority of the songs. It still is a typical Disney star album, but in an enjoyable way. Great party song.

[bottom right] Keke Palmer (Bottoms Up) -

.... and Keke Palmer? This song is perfect for parties, which is crazy to be coming from Keke, but I'm not complaining.
