Orange you glad?

I really really love this time of year. Pumpkin spice latte's, holiday shopping, Christmas and spending time with all of those people that make life a little bit more special. What's not to love?  I am looking forward to the holiday traditions I enjoy every year with my son and lots of good holiday eating. Don't you love a nice holiday sugar fix? I know I do. LOL

I have been staying busy with a number of projects and have been enjoying connecting with friends so that I have some pleasant distractions from work. One of the best distractions is unexpected packages on the doorstep and the anticipation of waiting to open them.  There are a few packages that came last week and I have to fight the urge to rip into those boxes to see what surprises came for me. One more week and I get to open them:-) I still get excited on Christmas morning just like my little one does, but I always  reinforce the true meaning of Christmas so that he always understands that Christmas is about more than receiving gifts. It is about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

This time of year a lot of us focus on dark colors, but those of you that know me, know that I love a burst of color even in the winter. I paired classic neutral colors with  bold orange pants and a touch of animal print.

Do you wear bright colors in the winter?

I am all about comfort when it comes to shoes and love a stylish shoe that won't make my feet hurt. These are pretty comfortable

I hope  your week is off to a great start

Have an amazing day!

Around the corner...

 Happy Tuesday! I hope you had a wonderful Easter. I cannot believe it has been two weeks since I have done a blog post, but sometimes life happens. It has been a very busy time for me. Last week my son was on spring break and that time was devoted to having fun with him and we did so many fun activities including horseback riding and  our tradition of making resurrection rolls for Easter and since I was in a baking mood, my son challenged me to make cinnamelts better than the ones he loves to get from McDonalds. 

Excuse me? I think he forgot that mom always slays in the kitchen. I don't need to tell you who won that bet, and just to show you how good they were, their will be a blog post with the recipe later this week.

Now that spring break is over, I am back to life as usual, which includes some exciting projects:-) And I am just loving all the wonderful surprises life has been sending my way. I have a feeling that there is even more around the corner. I can't wait!

Today I am wearing a very casual look with a cobalt blue silk top, jeans and leopard pumps. You do know about my obsession with animal print, right? 

Spring weather just makes me want to be outdoors all the time. There is nothing like a drive up pacific coast highway on a beautiful spring day. What do you love the most about spring?

I am walking into some new things! So Excited! Have an amazing Day!

Spring is in the air...

 Happy Tuesday! I have been so busy lately that I barely had time to do this quick post. I love this time of year so much. Warm, but not scorching. Sunny and beautiful! I have been feeling in need of a blog vacation for a while, but am still on the fence about it. 

Please forgive me for being a little slow in responding to emails this past week. I am usually pretty quick in my responses, but I have been quite busy lately and feeling like I need a vacation. It is always great to step away from time to time to recharge. How is your week going so far? What do you do when you need to recharge?

I love cuff bracelets and they always seem to give everything a little extra panache

I really love the way goldenrod looks next to camel. Bold and neutrals are always a nice spring look

 Have an amazing day!
