Kate Spade

While visiting a friend in Kansas City, we stopped into the new Kate Spade store and I realized that they've really upped their game since the boxed purses that made them famous way back when.

It's been a while since I've even looked at Kate Spade but the bright colors and whimsy of the store sucked me and and now I can't get enough!  About half of my Christmas list is full of Kate Spade items.  Here's a few of my favorite items on my Christmas list...

Belina Dress

Cheers Necklace

Putting On the Ritz Drop Earring

Le Pavillion iPhone Case

Wickford Collection

Tiny Bits of Sparkle for the Holiday Season

I love the holidays because it's a great excuse to shimmer a bit without being over the top.  I went for some everyday sparkle starting with my nails

So... I'm Kinda Back!

Hey there!  I know it's been a very, very, very long time.  So long that there aren't really any good excuses.  I've missed blogging but work has been so crazy I barely have time to get my laundry done!  With the holidays coming up though, there are way too many great things to blog about so I couldn't resist...

This past weekend, my friend hosted a "Practice Thanksgiving" for us to each perfect our dishes (also just an excuse to have a party).  Everything was delicious, especially the mini pies my friend Jennelle made with her new mini pie maker.  Who knew there was such a thing?  All you need is:

What are you whipping up for Thanksgiving this year??
