Similar Olive Scarf // Similar Top // Similar Pants // Boots // Watch // Bag Good Morning! Happy Christmas Week too :) I’m currently listening to Bing Crosby and sipping coffee in my favorite mug. I cannot believe Christmas is already here. We JUST finished up our shopping yesterday. I’m not a procrastinator like my lovely betrothed, but if my extremely thoughtful husband says he wants to take care of certain gifts, better late than never it is. He’ll...

LA Getaway

USA
Over Thanksgiving, I booked a quick little getaway to Los Angeles after hearing my cousin was having her biggest art installation to date. Lisa Solberg is a contemporary artist, a former big time skier in Colorado (I watched her perform at the X Games on my 16th birthday), and also a visionary. Her brilliance and her dedication to her work is not only inspiring, but fascinating. Each of her pieces explores a concept. Mister Lee’s Shangri-LA works to strip...

Christmas Throwbacks

Family
CHRISTMAS EVE IS IN ONE WEEK! In honor of the rapidly approaching holiday and ‘Throwback Thursday’, I’m sharing some epic family pictures from childhood Christmases. We have many fun family traditions over the years. We’re discovering new family traditions now that my parents sold the house and moved to the city but growing up, one thing we loved was singing Christmas Carols at the Village Green on Christmas Eve. We did this in lieu of going to Church. This...

Palmer & Bowie

LIFE
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOWIE! Today’s post is inspired by our second pup turning one today. I don’t know if you’re a huge dog person like I am, but our two dogs make me so happy. Palmer and Bowie are cockapoos and I practically think of them as my children. Eric and I got Palmer three and a half years ago. He was a little devil the first week but he was potty trained in two and ever since then, has...

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

THOUGHTS
Does anyone else feel a little lighter now that the Christmas season is upon us? And don’t think about what you ate on Thanksgiving or since then. We all know our pants our tighter. I’m talking about walking with a little hop in your step. Feeling a little elation within your heart. Enchantment. ‘Tis the Season to be Jolly…Am I right? You know what I’m talking about? Okay good. Insert Charlie Brown soundtrack here _____. I know I’ve been...

Scenes from a festive Chicago :)

LIFE
Happiest of Mondays to you all! Is it really December tomorrow? Eric and I got back late last night after a wonderful weekend home in Chicago. We ate lots and had a blast catching up with family. There was lots of merriment and of course, an epic dance party at the Solberg house. Our Thanksgivings are never dull and to top of the night, my Aunt Jen did the splits on her kitchen counter. Sorry I don’t have pictures of that. BUT...

Thankful

LIFE
Happy Thanksgiving Eve everyone! E & I flying out to Chicago this afternoon to spend the holiday with my side of the family. We’ll be with his over Christmas. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays, ever. It’s purely a joyous holiday spent reflecting on one’s blessings. No gifts. No angst. No worries. Just pure gratitude. Now that’s bliss. My mom is one of six and my dad is one of five. And naturally everyone happened to have many...

Candles Candles Candles

Collages•OUR HOME
Does anyone else share the same obsession I have for candles? When my Aunt was in town a few weeks ago, I kept taking the tops of my candles, getting a quick scent, and smiling as I placed them back in their appropriate shelving areas…. I. cannot. Get. Enoughhhhh. of. Candles. Seriously. Scent is a powerful trigger of memory. I associate many memories with certain scents as many of you do too, possibly without realizing it. Have you ever...
