Julie's Christmas Wish List

(Image via Kate Spade)

According to my calculations we have 36 days until the big day, and while I don't think the holidays are in full swing just yet, I'm trying my hardest to put a big Christmas smile on my face. I just can't get in the spirit yet, gang! I know, what's wrong with me?

I think I just have so many things going on with school that I haven't had time to really enjoy the coming season of tidings and cheer. I have added some holiday tunes to the blog, though, and I'm thinking of doing a little holiday face-lift to my banner in the coming days.

I did find time (surprise, surprise) to put together my Christmas wish list! Just a few little lovelies that I'm so desperately needing! 

'Tis the season, sweeties!

Red Hot Weekend Wishes

(Image via we heart it)

The weekend is here, loves. Thursday kept its promise, and Friday is gracing us with her beautiful presence! This morning while watching the Today Show I realized that the holiday bug has bitten me- not completely, but it crept in this morning while watching them roll the tree into Rockefeller Center.

The holidays, of course, bring visions of vibrant reds to mind. Today's 'weekend wishes' are devoted to that gorgeous holiday hue and the excitement of the coming Christmas season!

Happy weekend, loves! Hope it's full of warmth and relaxation! And thank you greatly for all your words of encouragement this week. It's amazing how much better your little pick-me-ups make me feel!

Hugs and love,

Getaway

Hi, everyone! Happy Friday!

Can't believe the weekend is finally here, I didn't think this week would ever end. As you know, the last few days were a serious test of my patience and strength. I decided that I needed a little blog break yesterday, and honestly I just wasn't feeling inspired. I told ABC that I was feeling all out of sorts, her response was 'You need a vacation.' Hmmmm, I'm thinking she's right.

Thanks, Ashley, for being the inspiration for today's 'getaway' post. Let's just take a little vacation today, if only in pictures....

The weatherman uttered the words 'snow flurries' this morning. Where did fall go?

Hope you have wonderful plans for this weekend. I will be chugging away in class this evening and all day tomorrow. When will I have time for myself again?

Happy Friday, darlings.

XoXo,
