A Special Announcement

Merry Christmas! I hope you're all having the most wonderful time with your loved ones. We are currently at my in-laws, awaiting impatiently to open gifts and devour some Christmas ham. In the meantime we are super excited to finally share this very special announcement. Happy Holidays from our hearts to yours!

Packing for a Road Trip

Hey there! I hope your week is going well so far. If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, you know that Mr. C and I are currently on a road trip through the southeastern United States. I plan on posting our travel pics next week. In the meantime I wanted to share a little video we made while packing before we left. I built all my outfits around the cutest little handbag I received from Maxwell Scott - a maker of fine, handcrafted, italian leather bags and accessories. With it's timeless, simple design, this handbag pairs well with almost anything, from boyfriend jeans to summer dresses. Although it's small, it's still big enough to fit all the essentials. It's my pint-sized companion.

Oh Christmas Tree!

Of all the times of the year, Christmas has to be my absolute favorite. I love everything about it - the gift, the food, the music, the traditions, cold evenings spent cuddled up on the couch sipping hot chocolate and watching holiday movies. But the best part is decorating the tree. Even when I was little I used to get just as excited about it as I did about Christmas morning. I would count the days until my dad would bring up the decorations from the basement of our building. The moment he'd walk in the door I'd grab the boxes from his hands and start pulling out the ornaments. It was the equivalent of opening up dozens of little newspaper-wrapped gifts. Each one was so different, each one had a story. There'd be lots of "oohs" and "aahs" and "look how pretty this one is!". I may no longer be 6 and the ornaments I own today may not hold as much of a sentimental value, but I still take Christmas decorating very seriously. 

This year we decorated our tree early and decided to share this moment with you. Enjoy!
