I'm not just tired, I'm discouraged and mentally drained. My teacher credentialing classes are killer. I spend a minimum of 5 hours a day (more on weekends) working on assignments. Teaching is going to be cake compared with this! <br />
Good. I got that out of my system. On a happy note I'm going away to Palm Springs Friday and Saturday with my girlfriends. Yes, I'm stressing because I will have to do some fancy catching up on school stuff when I return but I'm in dire need of a little TLC. My husband made me promise to go...I think he's ready for a break from me too.<br />

I think it's when I'm the busiest and most overwhelmed that I am most likely to daydream about beautiful travel destinations like Paris. Not just the destination itself but it's influence of beauty and style notwithstanding recent current events; my daydreams edit all of that. Below are some of my favorite Parisian inspired elements.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
I got the memo that marsala is the new Pantone color of the year but I was really hoping for a color like chartreuse. While I don't tend to like walls painted in dominating hues like this, I do love it as an accent. Nothing could be happier or chicer as we head into spring and summer no matter what your design style may be. </div>

As you can see, you don't need to overdose on a color as strong as this one to get major impact. I want to add a few shots of chartreuse to my bedroom to freshen it up and I'm loving the bath towels as well. </div>

It's Thursday and I am in my first week back in my teaching credential program and my kids have both started basketball practice. It seems we don't have a minute to call our own for the moment but who has? A pretty home is always welcoming when life is hectic, so keep it pretty everyone!</div>

My three week vacation came to an end yesterday, after a weekend spent in Vegas. My favorite part of the trip, besides the down bedding and ridiculously long massage, was the food. There really is a lot of great food to be had in that town. The only bad part was that there just wasn't enough time to eat everywhere I wanted; we had to skip brunch at Bouchon (though I did get my macarons) and I didn't get to try the frozen hot chocolate from Serendipity. Oh well. Next time.<br />
I came across this beautiful room on Pinterest. It reminds me of Paris, although that might just be because I've had Paris on the brain lately. My parents are celebrating their 40th anniversary this year, and my Dad was going to take my Mom to London and Paris, and the Cat and I were going to tag along. Unfortunately, that trip was canceled before it even got planned, but I still have Paris on the brain!<br />

I received one of the best gifts this Christmas from my cousin Lisa and husband Luis who are in the process of opening their own store in Memphis. By the gifts she sent I'm thinking this coffee shop and specialty store, City & State, (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/cityandstate" target="_blank">City & State Facebook page</a>) is going to be my go-to for gift inspiration and resources. I really wish I lived closer but I'm hoping a little on-line shopping will also be possible. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
These candles by Frostbeard Studio are cleverly cheeky and geeky and they smell amazing! Check them out:</div>

I'm sure you will all want one of these candles now--and there are many more options available-- so head over to <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/Frostbeard?page=2" target="_blank">etsy.com</a> and later over at City & State if you're local, to snap one up and make your home even cooler than, I'm sure, it already is.</div>

In the words of Irving Berlin, "let the old year die with a fond goodbye and our hopes as high as a kite how can our love go wrong if we start the new year right."</div>

For Christmas I received Sophia Loren's autobiography, <i>Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow. </i>I finished the book this morning and I must say that I loved this book. I wasn't looking for a tell-all with crass details and was pleased by Loren's classy and beautifully told anecdotes and remembrances. A New York Times reviewer passes it off with a statement of "nothing to see here" but I disagree; I learned much more about the legendary woman and respect her now more than ever. </div>

I love everything about this room: the bench, the white book shelves, the blue ceiling. I've been thinking about updating my den/office, and I think this space is the perfect inspiration. Now I just need to either buy new bookshelves or paint the cheap laminate ones I got for a steal at Target when I first bought my house. <br />
I just love how light and bright it is.<br />
Hope you are having a wonderful holiday week!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
For all of you super busy people out there who think they are out of time to decorate for Christmas, think again! I put together a few ideas that are no fuss but have maximum appeal. First on the list is fresh greens. This mantle above is stunning with just vases full of greens and white flowers. All it takes is a trip to the grocery store and you have to go there anyway.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="interior-muted-xmas-stairs.jpg" src="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/a1/4f/81/a14f81c8a6c70084179e3e91699c3c16.jpg" /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
You can purchase fresh garlands at many stores and all you need is a strand or two of lights. This will take you all of 15 minuets to complete and how beautiful are the results?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="hang plates on the wall//" src="http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/5b/71/c4/5b71c4d9d91afeee3ddc2d3a4305762d.jpg" /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Again, fresh wreaths can be found all around and all you need to do is replace a picture on the wall with a hanging wreath to feel festive.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's be real, it takes time to go pick out a tree and set it up at home. Just do it and skip the ornaments. All a fresh tree really needs is lights so it looks lovely at night.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
fresh greens and flowers for the mantel: check</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
garland on the banister: check</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
fresh wreath: check</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
bowl of ornaments: check</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
simple tree with lights: check</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

All done!</div>

</tbody></table>
Over the weekend, I discovered that my daughter's taste in jewelry has grown to include delicately crafted rings, usually hand crafted and made from sterling silver or 14-24 karat gold.<br />
Go figure. She was drawn to a ring similar to the one above, but with a triangle shape, by another designer, but I'm positive that she would like this one even better if she were to see it. I think it's a nice little nod to her nickname, since she has been my little Alli-Cat since the moment I knew I was pregnant with a girl.<br />
The ring is sweet and simple, like a lot of the pieces from <a href="http://www.ivjewelry.com/Minx-Ring-p/ccr12.htm" target="_blank">Irina Victoria Jewelry</a>, and I'd better order it quickly if I expect it to be here in time to be opened on Christmas morning!<br />

Perhaps it's because I live in the desert but I am really attracted to (I won't use the ugly word "flocked") snowy Christmas trees. My poor, pre-lit tree is about expired because on many of the branches the lights have gone out and we haven't been able to fix them. I think after Christmas this year I will try to snag a new tree. I just can't make up my mind as to what I will want because it has to last at least 4 years. I do think these "snowy" trees are lovely.</div>

Designers Tommy Smythe and Lindsay Mens Craig designed this gorgeous condo.

The days are dragging. Which isn't always a bad thing, but I am so looking forward to this weekend that it is torture!<br />
This Saturday we have a packed schedule: Wreaths Across America at 9, then on to LA for a Geeky Craft Fair at Whimsic Alley, then on to the Renegade Craft Fair in downtown LA, and finally dinner with the boyfriend's family to celebrate a birthday.<br />
I have been looking forward to going to the Renegade Craft Fair since the summer, when I got sick and we couldn't go then. And now I have that familiar scratchy tickle at the back of my throat that usually signals an oncoming cold. I'm trying to hold it off--too much to do, damn it! And there are artisan s'mores to be had at the craft fair! <br />

Fingers crossed that I can fight off this cold!<br />
Are any of you LA locals heading over to the Renegade Craft Fair? Or maybe some of you in Chicago, San Francisco, or London made it to yours?<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Last year I discovered a new favorite Christmas movie. I am a total classic film buff so imagine my surprise when I watched this delightful movie for the first time only last year! I just love Barbara Stanwyck and she makes the, possibly otherwise cheesy, theme of the movie sweet and believable. I need this movie in my collection and I think you will enjoy it too.</div>

We are pro Netflix marathoners, and we finished the entire season in a day. I will admit there was lots of fast forwarding, leave the room, and go out of here moments for parts of each episode, but we managed to watch, and fall in love with, the entire run of 13 episodes.<br />
I know, I know, I am behind the times on this, but I am hooked- especially on the set design. Tell me, for those of you who watched <i>Coven</i>, have you ever seen a more simple, beautifully designed set? I want to move in, even if it means rooming with the spirit of the Axe-Man.<br />
Anyway, one of the things I loved the most was the kitchen, and, more specifically, the kitchen.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's gorgeous, and I want the refrigerator, of all things. <br />
Although, while trying to find that style refrigerator, I came across this custom made refrigerator that I think it ridiculously gorgeous.<br />

I mean, come on. How gorgeous is that? The company, Restart, will apparently work with you to create all kinds of gorgeousness for your kitchen. IF you live in Italy. Or have enough money to persuade them to create something like that and then ship it on over. Which I don't. But maybe good old Santa can make it happen?!<br />

Maybe we could turn this into a DIY. Christmas break is coming up, and if I ruin the fridge that I have, it will be a good excuse to get a new one, right?<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
This year I've been seeing a lot of lovely Christmas decor staring soft, shiny pastels. They have a girly, retro vibe that I just love. I don't think the boys in my house would go for it but I can admire it anyway and perhaps talk someone else into giving this beautiful look a try.</div>

I'm so excited that I get to go over to my friend's house to help her prepare her home for Christmas. She has requested a traditional red, silver and gold scheme with lots of pine cones. I'm thinking this will have a glam, lake house vibe. Her home is perfectly suited to this look with its grey walls and neutral decor. We have a lot to do and it's going to be gorgeous. Here are a few of my inspirations for this project.</div>

We are supposed to be seeing major rain here in the desert (well, major rain for the desert, that is), so boots are definitely in order for today. This outfit looks perfect for a cold rainy day schedule at school, doesn't it?<div>
Hope your week is going well! I have to admit that I, along with my students, I'm sure, am counting down the days until Christmas vacation! </div>

If I were to ever build a house, I would definitely include this room in the master plan. This indoor/outdoor office is stunning with tons of natural light (made even better with a wall of mirrors) and a tree growing inside the room.
I mean, c'mon, how fabulous is that?! This isn't just some houseplant in a pot sitting in this room; it's an actual tree, planted in the ground, living and thriving in the greenhouse-like protection of a sun room.
Definitely on my list.

I'm not big on marshmallow. I never eat them and forget about peeps at Easter; they just aren't tempting to me. I was watching Ina Garten on her food network show "Barefoot Contessa" and she made these marshmallows. I thought they looked fantastic and very different from the store-bought variety. It turns out they are very easy to make and simply delicious!</div>

I made them for my kids the other night when we started to decorate for Christmas. They always like to have hot chocolate and I knew these would be perfect. I, on the other hand, had mine with champagne.</div>

Enjoy!</div>

We made it to Friday folks! I'm very happy for many reasons: I have less homework this week so I can catch up with Lori hopefully (I miss her!) Also, we are decorating for Christmas on Sunday. I know it is before Thanksgiving but we celebrated last weekend. I've been seeing more beautiful writing using chalk pens on mirror or glass lately and I think if can be beautiful. Now, when I do it not so much but if you have beautiful writing and basic art skills you should try this one out. It reminds me of old fashioned store windows and it's sweet.</div>

Am I the only one decorating for Christmas right now? Let me know if you also cheat ever so slightly. I figure it's part of the fun of being grown up. I make the rules. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Have a fantastic weekend everyone.</div>
