Happy New Year!

For last year's words belong to last year's language

And next year's words await another voice.

And to make an end is to make a beginning.

~T.S. Eliot

Coffee Break!

Ohh Dears... so many things to do before the end of year that a coffee break sounds like a perfect mid-morning breather! I would actually love to be able to go for a coffee break with all fabulous you... Hope that next year I have a chance to meet face to face with some of my blogger friends!!

I decided that before the end of year I'm cleaning up the closets and taking all the clothes to Goodwill or Church!! If we want new things to come our way we have to get ride of our old things...!! And different that other times, I kept asking as I went through my clothes yesterday "Does this represent the women I want to portrait...?" Instead of the typical question: how many times I've used it, can I get another use, etc... I focused if the clothes represented who I am today... and ohh dears that was so much easier...!! Are you cleaning closets? Any end of year project?

Amanda Brooks' Winter Wonderland

"It really is the most amazing place to spend the holidays,” Brooks says. “We spend our days totally wearing ourselves out in nature by hiking or snowshoeing or skiing. Then we come inside, make hot chocolate, and put together a 500-piece puzzle by the fire with the family. It’s just always such a special time, and it’s great to be able to share it with my own children.”

J'adore Amanda Brooks...! And what better way to celebrate the first day of winter that with the family home of Amanda Brooks in the Adirondacks....? Love how the Christmas decorations doesn't overplay the rustic look of the house... !! To read the full story go {here}.

...... a Sequin Mini Skirt pair it with a silver top, a one shoulder face framing LBD, a fur jacket with a breathtaking, heart-stopping, all eyes on you red Bandage Herve Leger dress or a super seductive brocade dress with bustier details.... all super fashionable and sexy looks!!

It's funny because I mentioned yesterday what I was considering to wear on Christmas Eve and it was very similar to option 1 and option 2 {although the LBD not that tight not that}.... but after seeing this editorial I'm feeling it's going to be option 1. How about you, what are you going to be wearing?

BTW, I'm starting to share more of my day to day on twitpics... like look of the day and any craft that I am working on etc! If you are interested join me on twitter!!
