The Stockings Are Hung.

How cute is this stocking made from a sweater?

Expectant

I have a really hard time around the holidays but I don't really know why. I enjoy the season of Advent but Christmas totally stresses me out! This can be a really lonely time for some people and I think it's important to remind people that you care for them and I don't think it has to be in the form of a gift. My friend Lana is using this season to list all of the things she is thankful for. She is a wonderful lady!

I'm looking forward to the new year and I think this calendar by Erin Jang is an adorable way to keep track of 2011. Who knows what could happen in the next year. :)

Happy Thanksgiving Weekend!

I hosted Thanksgiving for the first time and finally made these pumpkin cookies. I was a little overwhelmed at first but I think everything turned out okay with the help of my mom. :)

It has been amazing having time off from work! I have been spending time with family and friends and yesterday I went thrifting.

Here are a few things from around the web. Enjoy the rest of your weekend! xo

I love this hat.

Maybe I need a nerdy boyfriend.

A church converted into a house.

Apple and cheddar scones.

Street Style

Borderline Magazine has an amazing collection of photographs of people from around the world representing their everyday style. Anyone can submit a street shot.

Cuddle Up

I was totally cuddled up today like this sweet pup while trying to fight a cold. Here's a few things I found around the web:

What do you think of white tattoos?

Vintage lockets.

A week without stuff.

I love this kitchen.

Where to go in Philadelphia: Tria

This past weekend I went to Tria with my dad and sisters. It is a wine, cheese, and beer cafe my friend Angel introduced me to several years ago. They have delicious salads and sandwiches and a few different locations, one conveniently located in Rittenhouse Square across from the Park.

We sipped on wine and laughed about funny, old stories before my dad and younger sister Corinne went to the Eagles game.
