farewell 2010

it's new years eve... time to welcome a new year of hope and wonder. i get mixed feelings about this day. i feel a little sad to have watched another year go by, but also get caught up in the excitement of what a new year can bring.

in the mean time enjoy getting all dolled up... turn the music up and dance... us girls know it's always the best part of the night!




wishing you a very happy new year! xo

grosgrain bows

i have had by eye on the william rast for target collection. i think it was a great collaboration, but can't seem to get my mind off the little black bows around the model's neck that aren't for sale at all. so...

i headed to the craft store.


paired with a leather skirt and oxfords i think it will be cute!

good things, small packages

so happy to find this under the tree. what did santa bring you?

pamela love mood ring

naughty or nice?

wishing you a very merry christmas.


xo,

miss elouise

an office christmas

we had a little holiday gathering at the office today.

i got everyone in my little cubby a vintage sweater for christmas. here are a few friends modeling their gifts.


sophie made the most yummy brownies for our team.


and the best gingerbread cookies i ever did taste!

it's beginning to look a lot like...

just getting back from palm trees and frozen cocktails i was beginning to think christmas would pass me by this year. lucky me, it's everywhere and i love it just as much as i did as a little girl!

kripsy kreme snowman donuts

the cutest little overly decorated home in lambertville, nj. i just love this time of year!
