If you know me at all, you know I am, if nothing else, two things: a lover of all things Christmas, and a total hopeless romantic. This scene from "Love Actually" is probably my favorite single scene in any movie around. It is the perfect combination of heart-meltingly sweet and endearingly quirky and creative (come on, what girl doesn't wish she were in Kiera Knightly's shoes at this moment?!?) and it gets me every time! If you haven't seen this movie (or haven't seen it in a while), follow this link to watch the clip...and then make some hot chocolate, build a fire and snuggle up on the couch with a blanket and watch the whole thing. I know that's what I'm planning on doing in the very near future!
One of these is not like the other....can you spot which one of these Coach bags is a knock-off??
Every year on Thanksgiving, I am a sucker for the Macy's Day Parade. I always begin my Thanksgiving morning watching the incredible floats, balloons, and talented performers as they roll into Herald Square, and every year I think "Next year, I am going there." Well, this year, I did! I grabbed Jason, booked a flight and hopped a plane to NYC the night before the parade. We woke up bright and early Thursday morning, grabbed our Starbucks coffee, donned our warmest jackets and set out to find the very best viewing spot along 7th Ave. Luckily, we found a spot around 55th and 7th where the sidewalk was a little bit elevated, so our views, even 3 or 4 people deep, were perfect! Above are some of my favorite floats and balloons from the parade. It was an incredible experience, certainly one I will never forget! I can't wait to go back next year (*wink wink*)!!
Anyone who knows me knows that pink is my signature color. Well, this year, I'm ready to take my love for the color one step further by incorporating it into our Christmas! I have been lusting over these pink trees for over a year now, and I think it might be time to invest in one myself! As a side note, I've already asked Jason what he thinks about the idea, and it did not go over well ("Pink is not Christmas," he said, to which I replied, "Pink is a shade of red, so yes it is!"). You don't think he'll notice if I sneak it in, do you?? :)
