Following a crush of last minute errands, wildly packed parking lots, and other varied Holiday madness, the Eve of the Eve took an unexpected turn for the very best when my dearests and I headed into the city for some music, spirits, and sushi. 
In between preparing for the holidays, relocating, embarking on a new career path and catching up with old friends- I've managed to squeeze in time to work on a little something special that I can't wait to share with you all. 
I'm pretty sure I just found the shoe that personifies my mood lately. I'll let you know what comes of my quest to track them down. 
Call it laziness, but being dressed and out the door in one slip of a garment, just feels good. Rompers and jumpsuits take the guesswork out of ensembles and that's a life-saver. Though the weather has become cooler since that first photo was taken, I still find myself reaching for a 'onesie' in a pinch. I layer a biker jacket or cardigan over it and no one is the wiser.
My darling Dinah, the dearest one that put together that .99 Store Earthquake Kit-- Well, I could go on and on about her graces but for today, I wanted to share this UH MAY ZING invitation that she sent to my attention last week. Of course, the brilliant little thing put this whole thing together with her own two hands! I was so blown away that I took it work and displayed it on my desk so that everyone could see how lucky I am to know someone who remembered me in such a creative way. If you haven't already visited her blog, head on over to The crave list -- Also, she has recently debuted her Halloween Cup Kozy and the design is really fantastic!
As a child, when the time for school supplies came, I was most excited about the Crayons. I don't know about anyone else, but I was supremely excited if the 64-Count box of Crayolas- with the built-in sharpener, landed in the cart. My friend Danielle and I compared notes one day and she said that she used to go straight for the Silver and Gold, avoiding Cornflower, Sepia, and Burnt Sienna- as those were her least favorites in the bunch. I recalled with great clarity, always reaching for the Cerulean. This tunic is a bit of a deeper shade, but I love the richness of it.
