Old Hollywood

In one of my earlier post I talked about going out and taking some photo's with

  Clay Kerri Photography

This is one of the shots from that session.

I got this hat as a gift from a friend and I always put it on whenever I want to feel like a old-time movie star. 

I welcome in the year of 2012 with this: 

This year is a year to dress with class.

Floppy Hat: Gifted (location unknown)

Thick Gold Bracelets & Omega necklace: Mother's

Dress: H&M

This 'look' was inspired by these pictures below:

 

Christmas Clothes

So today I woke up and walked downstairs to see no presents under the tree this year.

We are awaiting my sisters arrival on Tuesday until we do anything -- I am dying in anticipation to see if my family likes what I got them.

So although we did not open presents today -- I did open up my sewing box!

My grandma and I hung out as she showed me how to do a quick hand stitch hem.
