tight tweeds and secret needs

Some of my friends and The Brother’s friends, as well as family members came over for Christmas Eve ‘08. So we took the front porch, wherein we ate non-stop, and had tea and shortbread, dressed in our Santarina hats, which were only two bucks each.

I decided to be mad and haphazardly combine accessories. Like a feather earring in one ear, and a Santa Claus one in another. The best place for flamboyant earrings? Accessorize, of course!

I love Christmas, if only for the warmth and the time wherein lovely memories are collected. Food, spicy smells, family, friends, love, laughter, caroling and trees. Tis a special time of the year, and I end up buying dresses for Christmas prematurely. This one was purchased in February, for Midnight Mass; and the wardrobe was hand-built by my late paternal grandfather.

I’m normally in my ratty-tats at home, a.k.a. paint-splattered and dotted with holes. But sometimes I do like PJs. PJ parties are always fun with the gurlfriends, and leave beautiful memories to look back upon. Heck, you’re only young once.

I know I’m always in the same pair of PJ pants but I love the way they look.

Great places to buy PJs are always La Senza, Victoria’s Secret and M&S.
