Okay, I'm back with one more outfit post for 2011! I said my last one was it for the year, but I ended up really liking this outfit. So, Brett and I ran out to take some pictures on Christmas Eve. We finished up some Christmas shopping downtown, watched movies at home and then headed out for dinner with my family. It's been a fun and relaxing holiday weekend! And now it's a short work week... wee!
I'm in love with this weather. I know that's so terrible... because you're supposed to want a white Christmas. But this has been such an amazing break from Michigan's horrible winters. I just hope this doesn't mean that winter is going to last until May or something crazy. That would be no fun! But for now, I'll just enjoy this rare extended autumn!
What did you guys get for Christmas? I received a new tripod, remote for my Canon, clothes, popcorn machine... and Brett and I bought ourselves a new TV! I'm excited. It's insane how light the new one is. Our old one was huge and so heavy. It took both of us struggling to get it out of the TV stand. We also watched a movie in HD on it tonight and it was so awesome!
I've been wearing my hair in buns like crazy since watching Veronika's messy bun tutorial! I love it and it's super easy. An elastic band, some bobby pins, five minutes... and you're done. Now I'm crazy distracted by Family Guy and keep looking at Brett and giggling, so I'll wrap up here. Have a great week... and I hope you enjoy my upcoming recap posts of 2011!

I've been obsessed about throwing my hair up into a bun too since Veronika did that tutorial! You guys make them look absolutely beautiful, mine would be completely sloppy, haha! I love your outfit mrs! You look stunning as always, and it's great that you guys got to enjoy such a long seeming autumn! I know you guys are so thankful! I hope Josh and I get a new tv when we move into our new home! We have one of the huge 1990's ones that stick really far out from the back, LOL, so we're in desperate need of a new one! ;)

I think I need to check out that tutorial. Anything that is easy & looks that good is a winner in my books.
The weather has been mild here in Australia too (i.e. Not very hot). But when it has been hot I've nearly died as I'm not use to it yet. But hoping for some hot days soon, so I can enjoy the beach.

love this.
im enjoying our mild winter here in Charlotte too... its easy... and i like it.
merry christmas!
You are like the queen of mixing prints, haha! Seriously. :)
I only ever wear my hair up when it's dirty, but I feel like I should wear it in a messy bun more often. I did it like yours today! :)
I got a Nikon L105 for Christmas, along with lots and lots of gift cards and $$, but it was a really crappy camera. :( But I'm ordering a Canon SX150 tomorrow, so hopefully I like that one. :)

I always love when you wear this shirt! It looks adorable here with the polka dots (and that beautiful scarf!) An extended-autumn Christmas sounds so wonderful.
Oh and I thought of you today when I was writing up my latest outfit post - it reminded me of you & your Michigan travel posts, hehe!
Wow! You look gorgeous in that outfit. And you are very fortunate to have so much gifts for Christmas. =)

Very pretty outfit, enjoy your new tv !
I love your bun - I also watched the tutorial but my hair is slightly shorter so it doesnt look so great :( must practise!
Darling as always little Miss! ❤ So glad you had a lovely Christmas, and don't feel too bad... I'm quite enjoying the extended fall, too! xx
Great look! And the weather looks so dreamy (I prefer that over a white Christmas too : )
And I love the messy bun / top knot!
