Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a fun, safe New Year’s Eve. After what feels like weeks of parties, visitors, traveling and celebrating, we opted to stay in this year. We made nachos, drank wine, and watched a few hours of the Twilight Zone. I was falling asleep on the couch from 7 pm on, so I feel lucky to have made it up to 10:30. And man does it feel good to feel good this morning!
I can totally relate to this article in The Cut. I love to give gifts, but getting gifts gives me anxiety and guilt as I usually don’t get what I want and often get what I don’t want. Unless I pick it out, I would rather not get anything at all.
All of my big wool scarves are looking a little worse for wear so I’m on the hunt for a new one. This, this and this are some good options.
Zara sale is on but they haven’t done second markdowns yet so I’m holding off for now. I’m keeping my eyes on this dress, this top, and this coat.
Mango’s outerwear this year was so good. Hoping this mohair blend coat and this faux fur coat have deeper markdowns.
As the aforementioned celebrating has taken a toll on my exercise and eating routine, hubby and I have decided to do a dry January. I actually don’t enjoy drinking that much, so I’m looking forward to the forced break.
Another goal this year is to explore creativity outside of my day job. Course Horse always has classes that pique my interest, like candle making, botanical drawing, and floral design.
Looking forward to the New York Times/PBS book club in 2019. The first pick is ‘Heart’ by Sandeep Jauhar.
