Happy Birthday to my fellow Capricorns! I recently took a short quiz on Alex and Ani, to find out my personal blueprint. I already knew that my birthstone was a garnet, a fiery royal stone. The garnet is a sign of passion, strong energy, and motivation. I’m really loving this garnet wrap ring from Alex and Ani — so dainty! {Alex and Ani, January Ring Wrap with Swarovski Crystals – $28} Driven Capricorns, an earth sign, seek to understand their unique truth and is associated with resilience and ambition. The ambitious Birth is associated with my birth month. Known for […]
Woman of Style: Gal Gadot
I have always loved Wonder Woman, especially when Lynda Carter portrayed her back the mid-to-late 1970s. This generation will get to know Gal Gadot as Diana Prince, a.k.a. Wonder Woman. Not only does she have beauty and grace, but she has wonderful style. This is why she is this month’s “Woman of Style.” A few weeks ago, I watched Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and was struck by Gal Gadot’s beauty. I knew I had seen her somewhere before, and then it hit me. She is the stunning Gisele in Fast & Furious. This Israeli beauty has modelesque looks, but she […]

Depp has played a wide array of characters, from Sam in Benny and Joon […]
Pleats! Yes, Please!
Pleats are so on trend right now! They are perfect for holiday parties. Pleats add a touch of fancy to any outfit! I purchased my first pleated skirt back in July. It is green and black, and hits just above my knees. I totally plan on wearing it this holiday season with a black sweater, some black tights, and some cute black booties. Some of my favorite bloggers are featuring pleats on their Instagram accounts and on their blogs. Metallics, deep burgundy and blush tones, maxis and midi skirts, shiny satins and plush velvets. These pleated skirts can be styled […]
Christmas Dinner with the Cast of “Love Actually”
Love Actually is one of my favorite movies! The cast is splendidly perfect, and the “love stories” are heart-breakingly beautiful! To me, this is one of the best holiday movies of all time!

These intertwined stories take place during the month of December in London. If you’re not familiar with this movie, you must watch it immediately! You will fall in love with it! Even though this movie came […]
