Passion For Plaid & Giveaway!

Good morning lovelies!  I hope you are enjoying your week and like me, looking forward to the weekend. I was supposed to go see the fabulous comedian Anjelah Johnson, but had to sell my tickets (a little overspending for Christmas, I guess).  Oh well.  What do you all have planned this weekend?  I love hearing all about your fancies at Christmas time.

One thing I'm noticing a lot this season is plaid, and not just plaid, but plaid on plaid.  Have you seen it?  People are mixing plaid prints and colors.  I don't know if I would do it, but I like it.  It's very festive and makes me feel all cozy.  LOL.

The Color Of Christmas

As I've said before, the Christmas season is my favorite.  Everyone is in a good mood, people are generous, and it's fun to dress up and celebrate.  My favorite color to wear during the holidays?  Red.  Even red accessories make such a statement.  What do you think?  Do you wear red?

Crazy For Cobie

I'm so in love with the show, How I Met Your Mother, and one of the reasons is actress Cobie Smuthers.  She's beautiful, funny, and her character on the show is hilarious!  Do you watch the show?  Who is your favorite character?  If you don't, trust me, watch it.

Fabulous Gift Ideas and Blogger Love

Good morning all...I'm back at work, and you are probably right along with me.  A lot of great stuff is going on this holiday season, and I thought I would share in case you aren't on Twitter, Facebook, etc.

First of all, let's all say a big congratulations to the future Mrs. Weaver, our favorite Brown Eyed Belle Julie!  Julie got engaged and the diamond is to die for!  I'm so happy for you friend.  I hope you call all head over and congratulate her!  Let's hope she still has time to blog!

Next, our adorable friend Tara of Fabulous But Evil finally made it to 1,000 followers!  How exciting!  If you don't follow her too fun blog, head over and give her some love.  Way to go honey!

Now for a little shameless self-promotion...My first novel, Murder On The Boulevard is available on both Barnes and Noble and Amazon, but I also have signed copies for $10 if you would like one!  They make great stocking stuffers and I will invoice you and send it out this week!  Let me know!  

I also have some fabulous finds for sale on my ebay shop that you might love...there are a few iPhone cases that I know some of you would just love!  If you're interested, let me know and I might be able to give you a better deal!  

Lastly, my mama has some fabulous creations over at her The Queen's Jewels Facebook page.  If you are looking for that one of a kind gift, check her out.  She does custom orders!  

Want Some Wreath Ideas?

I hope you're all having a fabulous Sunday.  I have to go back to work tomorrow (yuck) but get to be off again as of December 15!  I love the holidays, but this 85 degree weather in California is not festive at all.  In the meantime, I'm noticing a lot of people have put up their lights and the adorable door wreaths.  Do you put up a Christmas wreath?  I love my mama's.  It's gorgeous.  Here are some ideas for you in case you want to get started on your own.  Have a great day friends!  

Which one is your favorite?  I love the 2nd to last vintage style.  All images courtesy of Pinterest

On Our Way To Christmas

Good morning all.  I hope you had a fabulous Black Friday and are relaxing this beautiful weekend.  I'm so excited it's the holiday season.  Everyone seems just a little bit nicer.  My dad and I put up the lights outside yesterday and the tree is up!  So, in honor of November being almost over, here are some of my favorite Christmas images from Pinterest.  How many of you have ever or get to spend Christmas in New York?  I'm so jealous!  Have a great day and don't forget there is still time to link up for Fashion Friday!
