Holiday Outtakes

Let me tell you - it is hard to get two gals, a bunny and a cat all in one photo AND looking good. Chloe and I decided spur of the moment to splurge on a lil Charlie Brown christmas tree of our very own. We then proceeded to take a bunch of pictures with it, wearing our holiday sweaters of course! If you're on the east coast, then you've been enjoying the snowfall! I have spent the last couple days going back and forth between my bed and the library. In between you'll see me bundled up with my head down, power-walking to my next warm location. I wish I could say I'm enjoying watching the city getting ready for the holidays, but I felt like I haven't had a moment to breathe! I'll be done soon and then enjoying some quite time at home. In the mean time, please enjoy what I think are some hilarious outtakes! Truth be told, about 95% of the photos we took were outtakes...like I said, it's hard! Glamour shots taught me that hand-utilization is key and whenever possible, include accessories (in my case a bun)!

Thanksgiving moments

I'm sure I don't need to explain my absence to anyone reading this, the handful of you that do (hi mom!). The holidays are a time where we are forced to put down our laptops because we're usually double fisting plates of food, preferably in the form of meat and cheese. I wanted to share with you a couple snaps from the last couple weeks. I attended my cousin's wedding (more pictures and a better description to come) which was unbelievable. Thanksgiving is no doubt my favorite holiday. Last year I spent my Thanksgiving in Italy cooking dinner for friends. Despite it being hard to find Thanksgiving ingredients in Italy (I had to swap out chicken for turkey), it was one of my best Thanksgivings to date. This year the highlights of my (count 'em three) Thanksgivings was buying cheese by the pound for mac and cheese, my mother's seemly magic ability of being able to fit a large number of people in a small space, my brother's brussels sprouts, and going from house to house bundled up in the cold with my boyfriend. Trying to fit multiple families into one day meant a tight schedule, fun times and beyond full bellies. In between traveling and holiday craziness I was all about my moment to sit and relax, preferably by the fire. I hope you all are enjoying the upcoming merriness that begins with my favorite holiday! I'm back in my apartment, bundled up under the covers, excited for more winter cheer!

Away we go

Just a couple pictures from the last couple weeks taken on my disposable. In other news Ella and I just arrived in FRANCE for vacation. We arrived in Paris this morning and navigating to our hotel has been an epic poem, but now that we're here we can drop our bags and go enjoy the city! I have a list a mile long of things I'd like to do here. When I was in Paris last Halloween I failed to do a lot that I wanted due to time constraints and lack of planning. I'm hoping it will be a mix of touristy activities and leisure time at cafes.  We'll be here for 5 days before taking the train to the rocky beaches of Nice!
