My goodness, my New Year’s Eve and Christmas Eve posts are going to end up right next to each other, aren’t they? Oh, well. I couldn’t let the day pass without sharing a few sparkly lovelies.
Any big plans for the evening, friends? If so, you might want to check out my fashion picks for NYE. I’ll quite possibly be hanging out with my parents, big sis, and her hus (love them, though, so it’s okay!).
And — duh duh DUN! — make sure to check back on Monday for my next 101 list!

This time tomorrow I’ll be eating monkey bread and opening presents with my family around our Christmas tree. Maybe we’ll even be listening to an excellent holiday playlist :) Later we’ll gather with my Dad’s side of the family, and then a few days after that we’re headed to Maine to celebrate with my Mom’s side. Things will be quiet here for a few days, but I’ll see y’all back here sometime next week! In the meantime, I hope you have a very merry Christmas filled with love.
xo,
Emily
P.S. Don’t forget!

It’s the Monday before Christmas, which means it’s time for our last holiday inspiration board of the season! After the Thanksgiving jewel tones, the icy splendor of blue and gold, and the softly shining pastels, we have this quiet palette of pinecone brown and sage green. Beautiful for holiday decorations, gorgeous for a winter wedding. Happy Monday!

Many thanks to all who participated in the first annual P&P Christmas CD Swap! J and I have had so much fun listening to all of your mixes as we drive around town completing errands and Christmas shopping. Of particular note? We think Brooke wins for prettiest packaging, Melissa wins for sweetest note, and Maria wins for best themed mix (Dixie Christmas, y’all!).
I was pretty proud of the CD I sent out, and wanted to share it with any readers who weren’t able to participate. Click here for the link to my Grooveshark mix!
