Some Christmas Spirit


Here it is - my obligatory Christmas post.  Luckily, I have the perfect photo to include.   Thanks to my great grandparents Lena and John Boyce and one snazzy looking Christmas tree.  (Actually, this post should be titled "Father, May I Borrow..." since these are his grandparents, but let's not harp on details).

A friend of mine told me it reminded her of the greeting cards with old photos on the front and really sarcastic messages.  Totally. 

At any rate, it really put me in the holiday mood.   So put on a fancy party dress or your best pair of argyle socks and spread a little cheer.  I wish you all the best - whatever or however you celebrate.  

Stay warm and well!  

XOXO, 
Lauren

A Bit of Whimsy?



Why relegate "flower power" to Halloween-only?  If your mom embraced the 60's like mine did, she may have some groovy pieces just waiting for a reason to be worn.

These pieces really speak for themselves so make them the focus and accessorize around them. A simple shift, turtleneck or high-neck dress or shirt in a neutral color is the perfect backdrop, and will prevent you from looking like you're headed to a costume party.

Dig?
