Mad Men Style

Tonight I am going to a Mad Men themed party. I still am undecided on what to wear, but have a few ideas... including a pencil skirt, my grandma's beaded top, pearls, a scarf, and a great pair of vintage heels. Ok, not all of this together, I will have to edit it down. But to get in the mood here are some pics I pulled for inspiration. Love a good costume!

Rachel on Vogue - Fashionista Says No

I almost always agree with Fashionista. But this one time I have to go against the grain and say that I think they are wrong. True, Rachel's hair is a bit of a highlighted mess, but her face is flawless and I would trade my first born for those eyebrows. Thoughts?

Christmas Countdown

Ten more day. No, seriously, TEN more days. Yikes... where has the time gone?!
So here is my question for you - are you doing more shopping in the stores or online this year? I have avoided the mall like the plague, but I am curious what you are finding out there.

Stop!

Have you ever been to Home Goods? Living in the city and allergic to the suburbs, I rarely go to spots like that. But my sister is literally addicted to the store. We are talking love it like I love Chuck Bass on Monday nights addicted.

Her neighbor just sent her this picture. The two men are my brother in law and the husband of the couple next door to her.


Yeah, I don't get the addiction to lamps either.

Giving Back

'Tis the season to give back. So last night at our girls night we packed up two boxes full of goodies to send to my cousin's boyfriend who is serving overseas. What went into the boxes? Oh you know, the usual... candy, razors, dvds, toothpaste, hello kitty band aids (hee hee hee).
and maybe a picture of all of us girlssnow covered kisses,

Snow is Coming

Rumor has it that tomorrow we are supposed to get some snow. That means I am going to go home, pull out my fuzzy hat and wool gloves and sit by the window waiting for the first flake to arrive. When it does, I am going to put on my Wellies and run outside and try to catch snowflakes on my tongue. So, if the snow does come and you happen to see a woman in the streets with her tongue out, just keep on going about your business. I am not crazy I swear.

Bye Bye Daily Candy

DailyCandy is breaking up with us, DC. That's right, the shopping newsletter decided that we are are not important enough to keep around. Don't worry... it's not us, it's them.

DC wasn't the only one to get dumped this week. They dropped 6 other cities too. (And don't even get me started on the fact they were even dating other people to begin with.) Apparantly New York, London, LA, Chicago and San Francisco were the only ones who didn't get the boot. Dirty little slutbag cities.

Good thing we rebound fast.

Dash Up, Dash Off with Target Holiday Pop Up Shop

Target is taking the hassle out of holiday shopping with Target To-Go, a three day holiday shopping event. All you need to do is dash up, check out the holiday gifts they are stocked with and and dash off with the boxes wrapped and ready To-Go. They release says they will have everything from fashion, to beauty, to electronics, etc. I don't know if my sis will be getting a target sweater from the pop-up shop, but may be a good spot to score that ipod for dad.

Target To-Go will be open to the public from Friday, December 11 through Sunday, December 13, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, at M Street and Wisconsin Ave in Georgetown
