Box o' ornaments; visiting Santa--and being utterly terrified; at dress rehearsal for this weekend's ballet recital; making (and nibbling) gingerbread housesFriday is usually my day off, but not this week! Today I'm at a shoot working on a very cool project for
Brides--can't wait to share more! (
Follow me on Instagram for some fun updates from the set...)
And now, I NEED YOUR HELP. This weekend, I'm going to a holiday party, but still haven't decided what I'm wearing! It will either be
this gold dress (fits amazingly well and is UNDER $100!--looks way more expensive though) or
this black, embellished dress (also fits really well and the gold detailing is really cool). Bought both and love both, but I'm torn. Would love your opinion! Which one should I go with? Help!
In addition, we've got my daughter's dance recital (how cute does she look in her costume above?!), and I'm also going to be logging quite a bit of time in front of my computer considering my shopping is
maaaaaybe half done. (Ok, that's being generous. I have
so much left to do. #eek)
What are you up to this weekend? Whatever it is, enjoy these links as you count down to it. :)

this sweater yesterday (with black leather pants!) and it looked SO. GOOD. Best part: It's 30 percent off right now with code GIVETHIS. Score.
• I made
this gluten-free pasta dish last night (using
the exact GF pasta imported from Italy that Felicia swears by--it's amazing, BTW). And people? It was TRANSCENDENT. Delicious. Heavenly. Super easy. I highly, highly recommend it.
