Monday Mania

Currently reading: Vogue with Jen Aniston on the cover
Currently procrastinating: getting up and putting the chili in the crockpot
Currently feeling: sick...stupid sinus infection

First off, my hiatus was long. I did get back last Tuesday, but it took forever to get caught up on things like email and such. I was home for a little over a week. In that time: I shopped, ate yummy food that I missed terribly, spent time with friends and family, took in Reba and Kelly Clarkson, saw the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and finally got to bond with my brother. The trip had its drama (as always) but it was good to spend some time at home and be there for something other than a funeral.

Anyway, I gave the blog a bit of a facelift. I love Natalie, but I wanted a change. I think this picture of Mary-Kate Olsen from Vogue Italia is absolutely gorgeous. So there we have it! :) I'll make a post in the next few days with pictures of what I bought while back home. For now I want to share my Christmas list! Well, the one for accessories, that is...:) I'll add the links to them, so if you want to check them out for yourself and add them to your own list!
