holiday looks & home peeks!

Matt has been out of town, so excuse the slow week on my blog :) Here's two looks that I've been re-wearing for this holiday season (and claude being the cutest thing ever). jeans, a festive sweater and a plaid scarf can never be wrong!! and a vintage pinafore dress... paired with this turtleneck that i snagged last year from j.crew because i knew someday i would live in NY and need it! gotta keep thinking ahead :)

My living room is the one room in my house that i consider my ongoing "work in progress." I got a 1970's vintage couch yesterday that I can't wait to share with you guys, but the rug may have to go now. I thought a rug was a good idea, but i'm starting to think it creates extra hassle. Claude is always pushing it and messing it up - dogs rugs = not a great idea. how do you upkeep the carpet/rugs in your home? any tips?
