Hello, 2021!

Welcome to 2021! I’m not sure I’ve ever been so thrilled to see a new year. Over the years my relationship with New Year’s Eve has shifted. When I was in school I didn’t think of it as a big deal, since to me the whole “New Year, New Me” thing didn’t really equate in…

Ringing in 2019

I don’t know about you, but 2018 was one long year for me. A lot happened, both good and bad. On a personal level, the year had its bumps, but overall wasn’t terrible, on a better personal note, I cultivated a lot of friendships this year, which left me so happy. However on a national…

Sparkle

Happy New Year! Over the years I have celebrated New Year’s in a variety of ways, but this year, for the first time ever, we hosted a New Year’s party.

This year we opted to go to Knott’s Berry Farm for their New Year’s Eve celebrations, and it was…

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, everyone! I hope you all had a lovely and safe New Years! Last night, Patrick and I got all gussied up and went to dinner at Gracie’s, which was delightful. I’ve had this black velvet and turquoise dress for over a year, but have never worn it. Sad, I know! It’s such…

To a Prosperous Year

Last night Patrick and I participated in libations and laughter at AlexSandra’s (that is of course of AlexSandra’s Vintage Emporium) New Years celebration.  It was an evening of delightful conversation, liquor and vintage party hats and noise makers… For the evening I wore a different dress than I intended…I purchased a delightful silver number at…
