3 Staples

Wednesday, November 30, 2011
For this week 3 Staples Christmas and the upcoming holidays have been a major influence. Well I say it is a major influence because it is literally everywhere. I am not complaining about this, because I love the holidays. So here are my 3 Staples of the week:




Basketball

This week was the first game of the season for my sisters team, and that means I am going to be spending lots of time watching the game. These games are so much fun for me hang out and watch. She has become so good over the years it is just unbelievable. 


Starbucks Holiday Drinks

I typically drink a peppermint mocha, but there is something that tastes different about it when its cold outside. Over time this has been a staple in my week. I love going to Starbucks grabbing my mocha and sitting down and people watching. 






Free People Ethnic Print Scarf


My sister and I got this scarf a few weeks ago for a steal, and so far I love wearing it. It is super warm so it keeps me warm even though it is freezing outside. The scarf is mostly brown with pieces of cream, red, and blue. This color combo really brings warmth, which is always good.

Mod Days

Tuesday, November 29, 2011
Recently a popular trend has been Mod looks, so I decide to put together my version of it. Since the dress in these photos is actually sleeveless I added a black long sleeve shirt underneath. Normally I am not a huge fan of wearing tights with open toe shoes, but this was an exception. I actually like these with particular shoes with tights. When you do a mod look, look for pieces that are short, with high necklines, and end to give a boxier shape. I added these shoes because they are have that inspiration of the Mod look. If you are looking for particular icons to model this look, Twiggy in her younger years is perfect.

Nordstrom Private Shopping Party

Monday, November 28, 2011
Last night was the Nordstrom Private Holiday Shopping Party event, and my sister, my mom and I were lucky enough to all have the night free and able to go. During the event Nordstrom closed the store to the public and served drinks and hor dourves. We were so excited we even got to see our favorite Nordies girl who typically works at the downtown store. The entire event was very festive and got you in the holiday spirit. 



They had the cutest drinks! 






 We even managed to get some shoe shopping in!

A Touch of Christmas Spirit

Sunday, November 27, 2011
For those of you who are from the Seattle know what Snowflake Lane is and how magical the Bellevue Collection becomes when the trees are strung with lights and the drummer stands come out. For those of you who have never gotten a chance to experience Snowflake Lane let me explain it to you. During the month between Thanksgiving and Christmas every night at seven the drummers, snow princesses, snowmen, and Rudolf come out and play a series of Christmas songs. One of the highlights is that it snows every night during the songs.

The Day After

Thanksgiving was so amazing! I got to spend lots of time with my family. We had such a great time sitting together and laughing together. Though I had way to much to eat, but thankfully it only comes once a year or else my waist would be feeling it. One of my favorite things that is particularly special around the holidays is pumpkin pie, and let me tell you I had plenty of it. Unfortunately, it was raining so I wasn't able to take some amazing photos of my outfit, though I did have some photos of my favorite Thanksgiving things to share.
