I'm sending you confetti drenched weekend wishes for a lovely ringing in of the New Year! Pop the champagne, steal a kiss from your honey (or that handsome fella that's been making eyes at you all night) and welcome 2011 with a great big 'Cheers!'

See you in the New Year, my loves!!

New Year's Kisses!

A little sparkle for the New Year? Don't mind if I do!

 What's that saying...'You can't know where you're going unless you know where you've been?'

Well, that's the theme for today, and I'm doing a mini review of some of my favorite posts from 2010. As this year is coming to a close tomorrow I thought it would be fun to look back at some of the fun times here at Brown Eyed Belle from the last year. A little celebration of sorts, if you will, complete with balloons, confetti and Christian Louboutins!

2010 was an exciting year for me, and brought much more happiness than 2009. I feel so blessed to have met so many amazing bloggers this year and used this little blog of mine to bring you inspiration, beauty, and smiles through my words and images.

This year solidified Brown Eyed Belle as a true outlet for my creativity, and I can't wait to see what opportunities that 2011 holds!

Thank you for your continued support and sweet comments everyday!

Happy Thursday, loves!

J'adore this commercial...

This commercial never gets old... if wearing Dior will make me look like and walk like Charlize, then sign me up! She comes across so sexy, confident...and classy...while stripping!

And does anyone else totally relate when she gets the dress off...it's that great feeling when you've been dolled up, wearing an uncomfortable dress all night and you get home and you get to take it off and you can quit sucking in and just be comfortable? Except in my case, the heels are the first to come off...lol.

How gorgeous are these images from the Louis Vuitton 2011 Resort Campaign? The pink and green?! Completely swoon-worthy!

Greetings, loves! The snow has me dreaming of sunny spring days and those images were the perfect remedy, I thought. When I came home yesterday from my parents' house I had to shovel a path up my driveway to my front door. Am I over the snow? Yes, I guess you could say that!

I spent the afternoon and evening taking down Christmas decorations and putting up a few wintry pieces that I've collected to keep my house feeling festive after the holidays. I snapped a few pictures and will share with you soon. From the looks of everyone's recent posts, the holidays treated you very well! I just love the cozy feeling of being with family and friends, don't you?

The next couple days I'm going to be getting settled back in at home, unpacking the Christmas loot and thinking about the coming year and what 2011 holds. So many possibilities and opportunities that come with a fresh new year!

Happy Wednesday, sweet readers!

Happy Monday, everyone!

Hope you had a beautiful Christmas weekend with family and friends enjoying time together, eating lots of yummy food, opening presents, and celebrating Jesus' birthday!

I have been at my parents' house since last Wednesday, and it has snowed on and off the whole time I've been here. The real snow started coming down yesterday and we have about five inches!

The holiday was absolutely fantastic! We spent Christmas Eve at my grandma's house, opened presents at home on Christmas morning and went to my parents' best friends' house on Christmas evening!

I do hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I can't wait to see some of the goodies that Santa brought you! I will do a recap of some of my favorite gifts one day this week!

I suppose you could say that I'm snowed in today, so I will be visiting and catching up with you all!!

Hugs to you!
