New Years Eve Sewing Day

It isn't often anymore that I have sewing days, mostly because I typically work one day, day off, work two days, etc.., that I typically spend all of my off-days working on blog stuff or hanging out with family & friends. Which is why when I had two days off in a row this week, I decided to take that time to have a sewing day with my sister, Hanne-col. Of course, after we had gotten started our sister, Abby, and friend, Liz [who is over to spend NYE with us] decided to join in the fun too with their own crafts. #craftsarecatchy

WHO INSPIRES ME [FASHION WISE] | Keira Knightley

Source: dailymail.co.uk

Within in the past couple months I've been really inspired by Keira Knightley's style -- both for fashion, hair, and makeup. Of course, it is helpful that my favorite makeup artist, Lisa Eldridge, does a lot of Keira's event makeup looks. It is also because of Keira that I decided to try out a more coral/orange red this year, since it looked amazing on her at a movie premiere this summer.

Btw, if you are unfamiliar with this Who Inspires Me [Fashion Wise] series, it is a blog series that I started several years ago, but I tend to only do two-three posts a year for it, hence you might not of heard of it yet [if you are a newish reader]. :p

I feel within the past couple of years, Keira's style has become simply stunning. Of course, I tend to really favour the style of ladies from the UK, there is something about their look that I enjoy. Enough chit-chat though, let's get into the pictures and look at pretty things.

My Goals for 2015

Hello lovelies! I haven't done one of these goals posts for several years, mostly because I picked one thing I wanted to master/learn for one given year and that was it. This year to challenge me more, I want to make my goals for 2015 public, as y'all can keep me accountable & challenge me to keep my goals. Sound good? 

New Years Outfit Idea from Abbey | Guest Post

Hello, lovelies!

Merry Christmas + happy New Year! Last night Southern Minnesota finally blessed us with some snow (yes, I said BLESSED.) Christmas is so much prettier with a couple of inches of snow, am I right? I know a couple of you were looking forward to my post a week ago, but unfortunately I came down with the flu so I was unable to guest post for Ashley that week. But I'm back feeling great, with my last post! My family doesn't usually do anything fancy for New Years, but I'll definitely be staying up till midnight, play some board games, and I'll be wearing this super comfy dress that was a Christmas gift from my Grandparents! What does your family do for New Years? Is your family the party type or more laid back? 

What I Wore | Family Christmas Day + In All Modesty Review

Hello lovelies! How was your Christmas? Mine was good. We [me & Gaby] went to a friends house for dinner and games, afterwards we stopped at Starbucks to pick up a coffee before coming back to our house. Our afternoon was then spent with our Marvel loving friends [Liz & Grace] [the same ones we spent our morning with] to watch more episodes from series 1 of Agents of SHIELD, Thor 2, and the new Doctor Who Christmas special. We also exchanged some gifts with each other.

How did you spend your Christmas? 

What I Wore | Cozy for Christmas Eve

Merry Christmas Eve, everyone! I've been rather busy the past couple days with work [Ulta has been crazy busy with Christmas being tomorrow], running grown-up errands, and attending a Christmas cookie decorating/welcome home/birthday party for one of our dear friends who has been a missionary teacher in Africa the past two years.

This morning me & Gaby made a run to Starbucks to pick up a coffee, as our latte machine is broken, and we need the coffee. Then in the afternoon some friends came over for a MARVEL get-together, where we ended up watching: Guardians of the Galaxy [it was the first time any of us had seen it] and a couple of episodes from Agents of SHIELD [first series]. Now this evening me & Gaby are watching a film we have been saving for this week: Funny Girl [1968].

What did y'all do on Christmas Eve?
