Resourceful Celine Mini

Skip this paragraph if you are prone to getting light headed— What a night the hubs and I had! In his attempt to surprise me with a delicious dinner he proceeded to slice half of his thumb off. Here is the story– I get a rather calm call from him asking when I would be home because he cut himself and needed some help. Brice never calls for help so I immediately knew it is worse than what he is leading on. After racing home with numerous thoughts of how bad it could be and picturing him passed out on the floor from loss of blood (yes I am dramatic) I finally made it to the scene of the crime. I could not have prepared myself for what I saw. It was a true moment of, “okay, you’re okay. Put any thoughts of woozyness out of your mind and help him out.” After many bandages, trips to the pharmacy, and screams of pain, we made it. As bad as it was it was a total, “ah-ha” moment. Have you ever wondered if you would be strong enough to really be there for someone who was in pain? I have. I have wondered what type of mom I will be since I can’t stand throw-up or blood and often get light-headed at the thought of the latter. But, after last night, I know I can step up to the plate when needed. It was one of the worst experiences to see someone you love so much in an incredible amount of pain, but I was so happy I could be there for him! This incredibly long and horrible story leads me to why I am so late posting. I was totally thrown for a loop last night and instead of putting together my post, I was putting pressure on his thumb.

I now have the morning to myself and am just getting around to my posting! I have been wanting to share this mini version of my new bag, but didn’t know how to debut! Isn’t it just the cutest thing you have ever seen? The bag I bought came with a mini pouch for lipsticks, cellphones, ect. so they are easy to find in such a large bag. To be honest, who cares about putting your lipstick in a pouch? I didn’t want this little treasure to be hidden from the world, so I grabbed a chain from another bag and clipped it to this one. I was in the market for a cross-body bag so when I saw the big bag came with a mini version, I was sold! Have you seen such a resourceful Celine? Being that I am not into DIY, I was quite proud of myself! I totally killed two birds with one stone purchase.

The Turtleneck Sweater Dress

The turtleneck sweater dress is such a classic staple for any closet. I haven’t worn one this season but when I saw, Danielle in hers, I swooned. Fast forward a few months to my latest trip to Berlin. I fell in love with the most beautiful hot pink sweater dress. Yes, I said HOT PINK! I know I seem to wear neutral colors a lot, but trust me, I am not afraid of color. Especially when it was as rich and beautiful as this dress. Sadly, I didn’t get it because I had been spending too much money. But wouldn’t you know, it is the one item I can’t stop thinking about. Isn’t that how it always works?

I am off to fashion week in February and am definitely going to try to find the perfect little turtleneck sweater dress before I leave. With the cold weather only increasing, it certainly will get lots of use. Now, where the hell do I find a hot pink sweater dress?!
