Christmas Decorations

I did say this blog would have some decorating as well as fashion. Here are a few pics of my tree and some of the decorating I did. Although I had a different vision for my tree this year, I ended up doing some of the natural colors from last year. This year I wanted to do black,white, and silver but time got away from me and I didn't have a chance to look for those colors. Nevertheless, I think it turned out nice. 


I tried to do a Winter Wonderland type theme here 😊. I bought the fake snow and the pillow says I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas. I also bought the branches and just put lights around it. 
Looks a lot better with the lights on. Scooby makes his debut, and he looks like he was placed to sit right there, but he wasn't lol!


The lettering Faith, Believe, and Love were a DIY project. They were wood and I purchased from Michaels. I had my daughter spray paint them and just hung them on the tree. The JOY was purchased at the Dollar store. They have great inexpensive "expensive" looking ornaments. 


Deer head was found at HomeGoods.

The owl was a gift from my aunt last year. I guess I have a Woodland Friends theme going on too!
Another DIY project. I simply bought $1 store ornaments and strung them together and tied around the garland. The pics were taken with my IPad so they're not the best quality but all in all I think I did okay and I kept it pretty minimal this year.

Weekend Happenings In NYC



I went to New York this weekend to see Cinderella. The show was fantastic! That was my first Broadway play and it did not disappoint. NeNe did an excellent job as Madame and KeKe Palmer held it down in the lead role. The weather was cold but not as cold as I expected. While there the Justice for All Millions March was taking place it was amazing to see so many people of all ethnic backgrounds come together for such a serious cause. 


Also yesterday marked a historic sequential date of 12/13/14. How cool is that?! 
In keeping with the ending to this post here is what I wore. After deciding that the cold weather didn't matter to me, I 
chose to wear a skirt and I'm glad I did! 



 The skirt and crop are both from F21. Booties are from Charlotte Russe(old) and coat is from Sheinside. Clutch is from Marshall's. Lip color is MAC Diva.
