Beautiful architecture is all throughout Bratislava in Slovakia, especially charming lining the city squares. We were there on a holiday and practically the entire city was empty, odd but great for photos!

I saw these wild horses on a cold winter morning in Oklahoma. So majestic, and the landscape out there is heavenly. Even with everything withered and dry after a long winter, somehow it all seems golden and otherworldly.

I might have a little Panera problem, but how adorable are these little trees? Could not resist, but I did share.

Dear World, Today it is my birthday. So I have decided this is my annual Facebook birthday photo. I made it à la volée for the occasion one year specifically because a recent ex hated that I liked Grumpy Cat- as well as everything in the universe- and I just could not think of anything more awesome for him to stare at as he sat, miserable and frustrated at being now locked out of my profile like the unwashed masses, with only this sucker for him to remember me by as he drunk internet stalked me on my birthday. That’s…

One of my favorite treats of the season is to see the Nutcracker Ballet, it is so beautiful and reminds me of being a little girl. Of course, I have spoiled myself because I will not go and sit anywhere except the very front of the Orchestra now, after many years of trial and error this is simply the way to see the dancers, the costumes, and the magic in its best glory. Unfortunately, I am the only one I know who will happily pay for the best seats (it’s my birthday present to myself, usually!), or even has any…

With the holidays coming up, it’s a great time to start thinking about gifts. Looking back I remembered one of my favorite gifts ever, from a few years back. To show some solidarity for my emergency appendectomy, my sweet, sweet mother surprised me with the best present one day out of the blue while I was recovering! How gorgeous is this compact? I had had my eye on the Reds collection but was saving my gift certificate for some foundation and concealer. The gift certificate I’d had since the previous December, of course. My mom was like, I know you’ll…

This weekend my sweetie surprised me with a little bit of Christmas shopping, we headed out to the stores and got not very much – almost everything is online! But, I did manage to nab a little early present for myself, Orly ‘Decades of Dysfunction’. Its from the Dark Shadows line… which reminds me I still have yet to see this movie (or the old series). I finally have it, now it is just managing to win rights to the TV for a night… Here is Laquered with Love wearing this shade at 3 coats. Simple, and pretty. I am…

Someone was nice and cozy beside the Christmas tree this evening!

My sister rifles through her pack while a wild cat waits hopefully for a snack, at the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. The Greek temple is now in ruins, but the views from the former mountain sanctuary of the Oracles are still breathtaking and inspiring.

When Christmas time comes around there is something so festive about snow scenes. One of my favorites is by K. Young Photography on Flickr. The snow bokeh is so beautiful, and the soft downy coat of the cardinal with those pops or red and orange somehow is a timeless reminder of Christmas for me.
