...(more) black Burberry polos and tees. This wasn't intentional, but most of my clothes purchases lately have been in black. No complaints here, though, because it's always flattering.

...Also, Santa brought me a matching charm this year, too. Yay!

...Frye Lindsay Leather Plate Boots. I've always wanted boots in this color. After a nasty mishap with some Enzo boots that turned out to be an ugly eggplant color instead of "Burgundy", I stopped looking for a while, but I'm glad I eventually found these.

...Burberry Zipper Jersey Dress. This is yet another Burberry dress I picked up during the Holiday sales. I really couldn't help myself.
This weekend: Trying to (finally) get home for the holidays. I'm stuck in 19.5 inches of snow!
...{Wish List}...
- Mini-Pottery Barn obsession means post-Christmas sale hoarding: #1 and #2.
- It's been a Burberry-filled December for me, but I'm not done. Next up: new dress and shirt.
- One of my favorite things to do during the holidays is watch 'A Charlie Brown Christmas'. Classic.
- And finally, some great ideas for homemade cards.
...Burberry High Neck Wool Dress. This was not a planned purchase, but it was a good buy. The material is actually thick and the dress is very tight, but I knew that before making my move. Hmmm...looks like I'll need to spend some quality time at the gym o_O

...Burberry Diamond Quilted Jacket (Santa was generous this year). I wanted a lighter colored jacket, so I could coordinate with brown leather boots (a black jacket just wasn't going to cut it). I'm thinking these Frye boots would be a perfect match.
This weekend: A working weekend for me. Then travel on Monday.
...{Wish List}...
- Must-have and already-have tights: #1, #2, and #3.
- Some favorite gifts for the frequent traveler: #1 and #2.
- I was able to wear my Uggs for the first time in Texas yesterday (yes, it gets that cold). I'm so glad I don't have to get rid of all of them.
- Ready for the new year? This is a pretty sweet start.
- And finally, an alternative to the perennial favorite Williams-Sonoma Peppermint Bark.
...Burberry Classic Merino Wool Sweaters in both black and grey. These were the two sweaters I picked up during the Thanksgiving sale. The material is light and thin (perfect for the southern Winter), but if you are looking for something warm - this probably isn't it.
...Alice + Olivia Ophelia Lace Dress. I hate it when I don't do a beautiful dress justice because this dress is spectacular! The lace and shimmer is exquisite. I feel like I don't even want to try it on (let alone wear it) because it's just too darn pretty.
...FYI - it's a darker purple like the model, but the light in my room cast a yellow-ish tint on it.

...Burberry Check Cuff Tunic. Just another dress. FYI - free shipping and gift wrap at Burberry.com.
This weekend: I'm visiting Nick and we're celebrating our early Christmas.

...{Design, Style, & Food}...
- I tried this recipe a while back and they were delicious. Easy to make, too!
- And finally, dinner at Modern Steak means I need a dress worthy of the setting. Hm...which one, which one.
...Kate Spade Striped Carolyn Dress. This dress lured me in with the bold stripes, but the fabric is so light and soft, too. Bottomline: It's almost perfect.

...Burberry Zip Front Wool Dress. Lately, I've been partial to the more casual not-so-embellished dresses. That's probably why I love this season's Burberry line so much. This dress has the front zipper to give it some detail, but otherwise, it's very simple and I'm perfectly happy with that.
