Poinsettia's are a boring holiday tradition ---  like fruitcake. BORING NO MORE!




What a lovely way to punch up the classics! Use these to decorate for your own holiday soiree or give as a hostess gift. I found these in my city at Fresh Market. While a quick search of the webz didn't offer much I'm assuming these won't be too hard to find at other retailers this season!

winter pastels...

Normally I'm drawn to rich red and smokey brown makeup shades, jewelry and nail lacquers for the winter months. Recently I've been digging pastels instead. The twist is mixing these softer shades with pops of bold hues on handbags or shoes and creating the smokey eye look with unexpected shades of purple and pink. These small tweaks will keep your look from being too precious and will give you a small break from the more serious shades of winter.
