The Red Cup

November 9, 2010

I'll admit, I love the anticipation that comes along with the approaching holiday season. I could do without the fact that jingle bells and Christmas lights start showing up in retail stores as early as July; but, overall, their presence brings me that warm fuzzy feeling. One item that especially puts me in the holiday spirit is Starbucks' red cup. Although this year I have to say I'm less than impressed with their holiday cup design:

Sad face.

A tisket, a tasket, a white colored jacket...

November 8, 2010

For some reason this Fall, I'm really into jackets.  And coats.  Nevermind that I'll only make use of them maybe once or twice this winter ( and every winter that follows as long as we live in Texas).  So, on Friday, during my gleefull shopping trip at Nordstrom's, I ended up coming home with this:




It also comes in ivory:

After much internal debate, I ended up choosing the ivory over the navy color.  I love the military style and the fact that it fits a little longer on my torso (a quality hard to find!).  I also think the style will go well with my existing wardrobe.  Plus after I tried it on for X, he said he loved it and suggested I go back and get the navy too (wha?....).  I need two jackets much less than I need this one. 

Anyways, I loved it so much, until the next day.  Then doubt started creeping over me:  Ivory- doesn't it get dirty? How often will I end up dry cleaning it?  Will I even wear it? 

Any one else own a white-ish coat?  Is it a staple for your wardrobe or could you do without it?
