“The month of joy, happiness, and to finish what you started.”
December is upon us, folks! Yet another winter season has snuck up so quickly. I hope everyone had a peaceful, relaxing break. I enjoyed my time at home this Thanksgiving week, feasting with family and friends. On Thursday I played games of candy crush with my cousins on the iPad (modern-day holiday bonding) and took an absurd amount of pictures of my goddaughter, Kassidy, on my iPhone. I was especially touched when my 10- year-old cousin Madison revealed to me a lengthy book of her clothing sketches and designs. I always knew she was artistically talented, but I was really impressed! She definitely has an eye for fashion and design. Next time, I’ll snap a few pictures to share.
Several times, I vigorously raided my downstairs coat closet for winter coats, scarves, gloves and boots to fight the cold. My mom and I have built up an impressive collection of winter accessories over the years, and it’s always a blast to try everything on and experiment with different pieces. To summarize our closet: It’s a fur wonderland. Cream fur gloves, brown boots with fur lining on the inside, a Guess fur coat… the list is endless. I encourage everyone to add a little fur (even if it’s in small detail like in my scarf above) to your winter wardrobe. It’s not only fabulous, but warm and cozy as well.
On Black Friday, instead of hopping out of bed at some unforsaken hour, my mom and I waited until afternoon to hit the stores. I scored a tan BCBG peacoat for 50% off original price. The whole BCBG department was 50% off, which made me want to simultaneously jump for joy and cry seeing as it is STILL expensive. Inevitably, we ended up at T.J.Maxx after a few hours. For those of you that double-fisted coffee at midnight on Friday and made your way through the crowds-I’ll give ya credit. It’s just not me.
I hope everyone has an amazing December month with family and friends! Stay tuned for the release of the December issue of Thread Magazine, coming soon!
