Happy Christmas Eve! Baby, it’s cold outside….but we’re gonna get the fireplace going, pour some champagne and open presents. Though, I noticed that Rocky’s stocking is three times the size of mine. Perhaps it shrunk in the wash?

Joey & I stopped by Stumptown this morning after a low-key breakfast and only when I was editing this photo did I notice that lady flashing the peace sign in the background! Ha!

Towards the end of last week, I flew into Portland from Phoenix and in an hour flat, I was at the Overland Agency holiday party. The jam band that was playing moved seamlessly between Led Zeppelin, Metallica and Tool. I didn’t know that was possible…those ad execs have secret talents.

The folks over at Obsorn sent me some simple canvas shoes that I plan on modifying with a little D.I.Y. handiwork. I can’t wait to share the outcome, hopefully next week!

On Saturday night, Joey and I dropped by Dave Allen’s annual holiday party. I was glad that Joey finally got to meet Dave — he was an early influence when I first began blogging and we’ve been friends ever since. I had a chance to catch up with friends I hadn’t seen in months and it was so nice to see everyone in great spirits.

Up until last week, I’d never stepped inside The Container Store. All I can say is that it’s a Virgo’s dream. Aisles upon aisles of stuff to organize your stuff with! What a concept! I would have bought a million other things if I hadn’t been traveling but settled on the perfect solutions to organize both my lipsticks and business cards.

Sunday was spent working on a mini shoot for Solestruck’s Matiko Giveaway and quite funny since Joey and I were shooting the shoes in the dining room while my brother was shooting Kristin from Bleach Black in the living room.

The bottom pair of shoes are like Darth Vader chic, don’t you think? Lustworthy. But, enough chit-chat. It’s time to get to work setting out champagne and cookies for Santy Claws. Have a very Merry Christmas! xoxo
