girl crush

November 19, 2010 Whitney Saxon

I normally get annoyed when the news beats every story to death (Octomom...) but I am so grateful that they can't stop talking about Prince William and Kate Middleton. I have a huge girl crush on her.

She's so cute and it boggles my mind that she was just a normal girl when she went to college.

...And now she is royalty.

Over the next few weeks I might be slightly preoccupied; I'll be busy devoting all my resources to scoring a wedding invite.

PS: In case I can't get an invitation, consider this your save the date. There will be a viewing party.

frost yourself

I'm constantly losing earrings, so I've made it a goal to avoid buying expensive pairs.

However, I can't stop thinking about these M. Flynn sparkly gems. I think they'd really brighten things up when the winter blues get the best of me.

Jackie O. my gosh

I just stumbled across these photos of Jackie on Eduarda Rezende's blog. She was totally prepared to run the nation, even at that age. And, more importantly, look at that style. Equestrian chic.

whimsical wednesday {stocking stuffers?}

November 18, 2010 Whitney Saxon

If you were to watch my family open stockings on Christmas morning, you might assume that my parents don't understand what the term "stocking stuffer" means.

While most people consider appropriate stocking stuffers to be candy and other low-commitment items, they don't allow themselves to be restricted by such boundaries.

Sure, they typically opts for smaller gifts, but the items are normally things that most people would consider a full gift. Jewelry, gift cards, makeup, under garments - you name it, and I guarantee I've seen it in my stocking (or often next to my stocking, because not everything fits inside the little sack). They really know how to take the stocking to the next level.

So, this Wednesday, I'm dreaming of Biber-style stocking stuffers, or as others may call them, small Christmas gifts...
