This is what I wore for our family's Christmas Eve dinner. Yum! My husband made roast and yams and I made the mashed potatoes and my mom made everything else.. hehe ;) Hope you all had a great Christmas!! My husband and I were able to skype with his family in California. It was our first time using skype. (To learn about skype and how it works, take a look at the VOiP reviews on NextAdvisor.) I can't believe we haven't used it before...

I'm not a fan of jewelry, but when I saw that Emily from Le Quaintrelle was giving it away, I had to have it. It is SO gorgeous!! I love it's imperfect circle and the different colors. Definitely a statement piece!

See all that snow in the background? It's all gone now. The rain washed it away! I normally don't like the cold but seeing all that snow outside made me want to go out and build a snowman! I guess I'll have to wait until I get back to Utah.

Wearing H&M pink top ($11), bracelet (won from Emily's giveaway, J Brand jeans ($158), and Tsubo boots ($160).

Simple and sweet.
But me I love jewelry. It was trait I acquired later in life. Hope you had a good xmas.
My wife is like you--she's not a big fan of jewelry, except for a few pieces w/sentimental attachments. We still haven't used skype, our families all lives too close! =)
Our snow in DC all melted in the rain that passed through on Christmas night.
PS - That's a nice outfit. I hope it wasn'y too cold out there.
love the boots, nice and simple :)

These are very fun photos. I love your blouse, too. The buttons and pleats are feminine, and delicate without being at all old ladyish, even though I called it a "blouse!"
I love the last pic of you. You are too adorable. Love your top and bangle, too!
love the top! happy holidays :)
skype is awesome right? thanks to skype, i'm able to talk to my friends who now stay there in the states.
