Song Of The Week ~ All I Want For Christmas Is You (Cover)

We all know that the Mariah Carey version of this song (minus Justin Bieber) is the best and most adored pop Christmas song.  While I am not the biggest Mariah Carey fan I do just jump for joy whenever this song is on the radio or my iPod.  It reminds me of a fantastic evening in Solvang with my girls and makes me happy as can be. 
When I first heard the Michael Buble version I just wasn't sure what I thought...but after 3 or 4 listens I realized it is a beautiful different take on "All I Want For Christmas Is You" and very romantic and perfect for a holiday evening with your sweetie.  Michael Buble croons those poppy lyrics with a nice piano backup and it really makes me feel all romantic and stuff.  Normally I would say don't mess with a classic, but this is gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous stuff!

Two great versions of the same song is just fine with me when they evoke such different feelings, both of happiness!  Also, please tell me y'all watched this on SNL!

Forever Frugal Friday

Do yourself a favor and invest in this Bold Shoulder Striped Blazer immediately!  Last February I purchased an almost identical blazer (in navy blue) from H & M and it was easily one of the best purchases I have made as I am constantly complimented on every time I wear it.  The blazer is the perfect piece to add to almost any outfit and I just know you will love it as much as I love mine! 

Gift Guide #4 ~ Kate Spade for All!

I am pretty sure if I only received presents from one store this year, Kate Spade would be the place for me this year.  Every single item I am head over heels in love with!  And if you follow Kate Spade on Twitter or Instagram you would see all the fabulous happiness this company spreads to all around!

Song Of The Week: Christmas Wrapping

Happy (dreary, rainy) Monday!  Anyone sick of holiday music yet?  I sure am not!  One of my favorite holiday songs of the season is The Waitresses "Christmas Wrapping".  It's totally 80's fun and the perfect punch to the normal slow holiday tunes.  This song would be the PERFECT addition to your cheesy, ugly Christmas sweater party!

Happy {Holiday Shopping} Weekend

It's Friday and we are two weeks away from Christmas!  I am one week away from my holiday party next week...and still minus a dress.  Which means my weekend will be filled with searching for the perfect gift for my loved ones and a dress to fit me! 

May your weekend be filled with glittery cheer and a warm cup of hot cocoa!  Don't forget to enter to win a free pair of gap jeans (click here)!
