all that glitters
hi guys! it’s been awhile and i hope you had a great holiday. ours was happy and everyone was grateful for the simple gift of the status quo. dad is back, cooking, enjoying his family and hopefully now, resting!
i’m in the city today and love this in between time when everything is a little quieter, slower and well, just sort of peaceful.
tomorrow it will come back to life with strangers singing and greeting each other in the streets, honking their horns and twirling noisemakers.
i don’t have big plans but love the idea of the glamorous new years party and all the sparkle and hope that come with the day.
maybe it’s a little early to wish you a happy new year (i hate rushing holidays)! so hopefully i’ll get back here to do just that. till then, happy nye eve!
ps: i’ve been laying low but this photo got me back blogging today. it’s a way to repurpose those champagne corks. i always hated throwing them out!
happy friday!

The vintage glittery ball gowns are divine in all their beaded and sequined bling! So tired of parties where almost everyone is wearing black!
