Current Obsession: Green & Navy

Everywhere I go this season as I have been seeing people in green and navy.  I just love this color combo for winter.  And there are so many ways to wear it!

The Season for Sparkles

I love everything about the holiday season.  Spending time with family, the food, all of the decorations and of course the parties.

While looking at a post on Sarah Vickers' blog, "Classy Girls Wear Pearls" last week, I immediately noticed her shoes.  {To be fair - this happens almost every day and not with just her shoes!  Her style is amazing.}  But, this specific day documented what looked like a very fun party and she was wearing a pair of sparkly platform heels from Nine West.  I knew they would be just perfect for this year's holiday parties.

They arrived yesterday at my door and I can't wait to wear them out this evening to a black tie dinner I am attending.  I just hope I don't fall over.

Until Tomorrow . . .

Book Club: Interred With Their Bones

While I don't make enough time for it, I love reading.  It can be so relaxing to lose myself in another world and get caught up in a good story.  Most of my the books I read come as recommendations from others; family, friends, co-workers and even people on the train.  So, I thought I would start share the books that I liked here for anyone looking for something good to read.

First up is one of the most recent things I read: Interred With Their Bones by Jennifer Lee Carrell.  It is a literary adventure based in Shakespearean lore, and while I became completely engrossed in the mystery, I also found myself bouncing to my iPad to find out more about the history woven throughout.  

Ms. Carrell tells the story about Shakespearean scholar turned director, Kate Stanley, and the global hunt she embarks on when her mentor is murdered in England's Globe Theater.

If you have any interest in Shakespeare, I highly recommend this book.  It is both educational and a page turner.  I also found, while looking at the author's site for this post, that there is another "Kate Stanley" adventure Haunt Me Still, also set in the world of Shakespeare.  I am looking forward to finding out where this new story takes the characters.

Let me know what you think.  Have you read Interred With Their Bones?

Until Tomorrow . . .

A Heavenly Charlottesville Weekend

This past weekend I went down to Charlottesville, Virginia on a recruiting trip for my company.  It is always a blast to get back to Charlottesville and surround myself with everything that is The University and Darden.  My years there were some of the best.

During the weekend, I had fun taking and sharing quite a few pictures.  Here are some of my faves:

ZoCaLo: A great place for a drink

eloise: One of my favorite CVille boutiques

Mudhouse Coffee

Gameday in Hoo 'Ville

Scott Stadium

The Band! WaHooWa!

Dinner at The Local

Lots of compliments on my Kiel James Patrick bracelet

Such a fun weekend.  Can't wait to go back!

Until Tomorrow . . .

California Here I Come!

I found this picture on Facebook today and wanted to share it because it totally represents my state of mind right now.

I'm headed home to California tomorrow and thats all I can think about right now!  So excited to see my wonderful parents and bury my toes in the sand!  {The week off of work isn't too bad either!}

Unfortunately, one thing stands between me and my trip . . . . packing. . . . so many clothes . . .

Maybe a martini will help . . . .

Until tomorrow . . . in Cali!
