Cozy Outfit for Winter

Love this special and relaxing time between Christmas and New Year.

“It is the most wonderful time of the year!”

Feel like getting cozy by the fireplace with hot chocolate and marshmallows, and forget about extra-extra calories. I’ll worry about them after holidays!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New year!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

“Christmas blessings from above,
Fills our hearts this day,
As we focus on the Christmas message
And the wonder it conveys

It gives us reason to praise God
For all that He has done
And for all that He is yet to do
In those who trust His Son!”

Russian Tea Cakes for Christmas

Today my children and I were making Russian Tea Cakes cookies. They were easy to make, didn’t take long, and kids had a lot of fun too!

The recipe is from my most favorite website allrecipes.com. It makes 36 cookies.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/3 cup confectioners’ sugar for decoration
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream butter and vanilla until smooth.

3.  Combine the 6 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar and flour; stir into the butter mixture until just blended.

4. Mix in the chopped walnuts.

5. Roll dough into 1 inch balls, and place them 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.

6. Bake for 12 minutes in the preheated oven. When cool, roll in remaining confectioners’ sugar.

…and relax 🙂

Merry Christmas Eve Everyone!!!

Grey with a Pop of Color

It’s that special time of the year when red color is a must to wear. Christmas is almost here!

Today I am wearing a cute grey dress. I like how tide it is, and love how comfortable it feels. The multiple layering hides everything you don’t want the dress to show (if you know what I mean).

For a while, I wanted to buy suede red shoes, and here they are. It’s Jessica Simpson Adeni high heels from 6pm. The shoes were $89.00, and now they are only $34.99. You save 61%! It’s a great deal, and I love them!

Another favorite piece of mine in the outfit is Silver Tone Simulated Crystal & Bead Fringe Necklace by Jennifer Lopez. It’s a beautiful piece!

5. …and there is the Sunset!

6. Cute little birds were in our way, as we were house hunting in Florida! I don’t mind neighbors like that, as long as they don’t make too much noise! 🙂

What I Wore to a Birthday Party

This outfit I wore to my friend’s birthday party. I was asked to take photos of the event, so I had to make sure and wear something comfortable, yet dressy. Basic white tank top and boyfriend jeans would have looked too casual if not for the bright red jacket, multicolor necklace, and dressy sandals. We had a lot of fun, and took tons of pictures.

Happy Birthday, friend! 🙂

It’s Photoshoot Day

A few weeks ago I had a pleasure to assist a great photographer in photoshooting a cute little model. It was a beautiful, but chilly day. Having a few layers was a good choice that day. I wasn’t worried as much about fashion, as I wanted to be comfortable. I wore my favorite sneakers, skinny jeans, and a grey cardigan. Simple, yet cozy. 🙂

Black and White Business-like

The combination of black and white is and always was a classic one. The two colors combined together can create a dressy, as well as casual look. Today I went for an elegant business-like look. The gray accessories keep my outfit simple, but slick.

Purple Eye Make-up

I like purple color, especially its bright shades. It associated with something fresh and charming. When I think of purple, beautiful flowers like lavender and liliac come to mind.

As you may remember from my previous make-up posts, my favorite eye make-up is brown smokey eyes, but when I get tired of it, my next choice is almost always purple eyeshadows.
