Snow Days

My new lamp came last night and is now sitting proudly on my desk at work. The sun shines through the glass base making it beautifully teal and bright.

And yes, you did see snow outside! We've had snow on the ground in LR for three days and counting.

It started coming down Sunday night. We got about five inches which is considerable for AR -- enough to shut everything down for two days. So we stayed home Monday and spent the day playing outside, drinking cocoa, and laying in bed eating nachos and watching Avatar. I got to come in to work late on Tuesday and was very thankful for the extra time in the morning. But here I am today, back to normal. There is one thing different though and it is the magic that is still outside my window. We won't get above freezing for a few days so it looks like it's going to stick around -- atleast til Friday!

Closet wish list

This is a short week for me. I have tomorrow (Thursday) and Friday off from work for New Year's. And I plan to make the most of it. Tomorrow I plan to spend a good chunck of the day in my closet, playing dress up, trying stuff on, listening to good music, and purging. I used to be afraid to get rid of anything in my closet because I worried that the minute I would get rid of something would be the minute I desperately wanted to wear it. And so far, that has never happened. Besides, by getting rid of things, I am making room. And that means I get to go shopping. I'm on a mission to create a working closet -- one that is filled with fewer, quality, coordinating basics. And a few special surprises too. That way I can jump in there every morning and easily pick out an outfit without spending too much time or stressing out over it. The closet revamp begins now. And here are some things that I will be filling my closet with in the near future:

I have been wishing for these boots forever. But I can cross them off my list now because guess what is headed to my house this very afternoon? Happy Birthday to me.

I am having a moment with Piperlime. And partly because of this shirt. Would be so cute with a pair of cropped black pants or skinny jeans (both of which I already own) and booties.



Is there ever a time when I'm not thinking about J.Crew? It is my absolute fave and I want these wool minnie pants and grey matchstick cords from them so badly. And they're both on sale. Yes please.

I have been lusting over these cute heels from Urban Outfitters for a while now. I can't decide if I want them in the tomato red or the mustard yellow. I think yellow.

And finally, I am in desperate need of new black pumps (I still haven't replaced the ones I complained about in this post). And new booties. I need new lace up booties. I think these will do nicely.
