here or over here?

If I'm not here much anymore, which could happen kids, then it's because I'm over here.

I'm an aunt now.

So, I officially became an aunt yesterday morning. She's an awesome little baby; I could've held her all damn day. Yep. And I haven't updated this blog in long while, have I? It might be because I've discovered pinterest. It's like delicious.com only with images. True story.

p.s. That's my dad holding the first great-grandchild (w/my pooped out sister in the back); he's pretty happy to be a grandpa.

Two Viewpoints.

I think I fit perfectly in the middle of these two messages.

NYE.

What's everyone wearing for the Big Ball Drop known as New Year's Eve? I'm thinking white fur + white accessories (hat, gloves, scarf) on the outside with black underneath as in: black lace tee + black/white pok-a-dotted slip thing + black tights or leggings + white belt + black legwarmers + black boots. In my hair = white feather or white flowers. Yeah. This is my initial outfit idea; it'll probably change.

2011 Goals:

My bf's mom&dad got me a tripod for Christmas, so I hope that I'll be able to be WAY better about posting cool shots of my outfits. I read a lot of bloggers who make it a daily habit to sneak a shot, but I don't know if I can be DAILY yet. Maybe weekly. Yeah.

It's a goal. Be a better fashionblogger. Also, be a better blogger in general. I was trying to find, on my personal blog (I have three: this one, that one, and a teaching blog), what we did for Christmas last year and it was hard. I should blog weekly on each one for sure; my teaching blog sees the most action. :D

Here are the things I've recently ordered from Endless.com; I'm in search of black Ugg-like boots.

Bear Paw.

EMU.

Rocket Dog.

AND here is my recent Urban Outfitters order:

Pieces of pink hair is in order for the spring semester? Perhaps.

Ecote boots.

Weird green eternity cowl? Okay.

Above & Below: I love wedges. LOVE. They are heels + stability, man.

Merry Christmas!

Lasagna on Christmas Eve before opening gifts and drinking and watching movies (especially National Lampoon's). I'm hiding behind my sister.
Below: As we open gifts, I look at a previous letter we sent out as a family.

It's a tradition to have breakfast after midnight mass... and then we put on aprons and take the annual apron picture.

A recent picture of me tugging on my earlobe. I do that a lot. I adore the sweater I'm wearing - it's oversized and navy with a funnel neck. I also like my black nails; I did red ones for Christmas, though, with sparkles at the tips.

the snowhawk.

We got about 7-10" of snow yesterday through this morning; it's typical to get that much in a day, but it's odd that we've had (and Fargo and the Cities) this much SO SOON. Eeek.

More fashion inspiration soon. Be patient, kids. It's a virtue. Or something like that.
