{... I write this post in haste, as I am out the door leaving to travel by car to Toronto to see the Nutcracker by the National Ballet of Canada... I won't be back until New Year's Day... may you have many, many happy moments bringing in 2012; farewell 2011!}
{... did you enjoy your Christmas; was it magical like mine was? I am now enjoying free time at home with the hubby, simply relaxing and planning for the New Year... it is always a period of reflection for me... to reflect on what worked (staying authentic, being more positive and enjoying the moment), on what I want to work on (perfecting photography, cooking and finishing creative projects), on what I will refuse to let myself get trapped into (working through lunches and being around people that are not positive)... that's it for now... btw, I received a beautiful bottle of Chardonnay and thought I would share it with you; it is called "Felina" 2010 from Argentina. UPDATE: the lovely necklace in image 3 can be purchased here.}

{... it is that special time again, to spend creating wonderful memories with family and friends... I am so, so grateful for your continued support... wishing you and yours a truly magical and lovely Christmas, xoxo}
{... love the deep rich colors of this collection, the cropped pants with sky-high heels and booties and lastly the details, such as the finest faux fur, sequin striped top and satin trimmed lapels... so lovely, xo}

{... out the door, as there are a few last minute Christmas presents to purchase and perhaps an outfit or two for myself... hope your day is wonderful so far, xo}
{... it has been awhile since I've put together one of these massive posts, I hope you enjoy these pictures and I wanted to thank you all for your lovely, lovely comments and for stopping by... you make my day, xo}
{... so we're at that lovely time again, where holiday lights twinkle, from near and afar, where traditions come to life and family and friends will gather to celebrate and create wonderful memories... have yet to begin decorating the house, now empty except for the hubby and myself, but as we like to decorate a real Christmas tree, will likely do so next weekend... have a lovely week to come, xo}
