{super shiny, pointy new flats to replace a well-loved pair that tore last month after 4 years}
To put it simply, the last few weeks have been hectic. Between multiple family get-together events, preparing for a Christmas meal with friends and squeezing in a couple of dates before David goes away for a bit, there sadly hasn't been much time to be calm. Here are a few little pieces of happy, and a couple of pretty things to remind myself to step back, take a breather and enjoy the things around me.{spending an entire day decorating a gingerbread house (I baked the gingerbread using this recipe) with the bestie}{discovering an amazing grilled cheese food truck - what could be better?!}{36 roses from David for our 36 month/3 year anniversary!}{an expanding collection of gold rings. clockwise: YSL, BCBG, Social Experiment (c/o), vnunes (c/o), BCBG}
