I came across this coat from Anthropologie while prepping for yesterdays post. It's not the cheapest, but I wear a coat till it falls apart and my old jcrew puffer is slowly, but surely biting the dust. I ADORE the lines of this coat. I only wish I knew if it is as warm as it is pretty. Anyone happen to have it?
Just look at that back {insert emoji with heart eyes}.
With Christmas being only a week away it has me thinking about the new year. I am so excited to ring in 2015 and see what it holds for us. Since we have had kids we tend to stay in to celebrate as a family although we normally ring in the New Year before the clock strikes midnight. This year though the kids are older and I feel like maybe just maybe they could hang and we could truly celebrate the ending of our challenging yet adventurous year and rejoice with the coming of the new. This then got me thinking about making it a little extra special. For us that normally means putting on a party dress, a bowtie for the boys of course, and dance so I think that is what we shall do. Here are a few outfits that may just be worthy of a night full of fun...
Simple yet Festive:
Who doesn't own a simple black top and black bottoms? Adding a statement necklace makes this outfit oh so fun and in my opinion quite chic. My favorite black jeans and the pant that I live in would do the trick.

Classic Black:
Black is so timeless. It will forever be a favorite of mine.
On the Soft Side:
Wearing whites and softer colors in winter lends itself to the feeling of being a bit more sweet and ethereal. Add in some shine, a bit of texture or a whimsy silhouette to take it up a notch. Plus I know Ellie would think I looked like a snow queen so there is always that.

A Bit of Sparkle:
Now if I actually had somewhere to go then adding some sparkle would be a must. Who doesn't love to feel ever so glamorous every once in awhile and what a better time to do it than ringing in the New Year!

*Just came across these and they may be my favorite! Sequin pants seem to be all the rage. Ha.
I was hoping to have the office completed before Thanksgiving. I now have a new goal to get it completed before Christmas, but if I'm honest to myself it may not happen till the new year. I can dream though! I did make a step of progress though and had prints made for our ribba frames. They are huge and I love them. The pic of the kiddos just makes me smile. It shows their personality fully. Ellie sweet as can be and KJ being a wild hair. The New York pic was from last years trip and it just holds so many good memories for us. The desk is a mess per usual. It drives the Mr mad. I just can't seem to keep it straight no matter how hard I try. Oh, and the desk is new! It's actually a dining table from West Elm and I could not love it anymore. I can't seem to find it online, but I'll share a better pic soon so you can see the metal legs. Can't believe it took us so many years to invest in one. This is after all where I pretty much live.
