Happy Holidays, from Our Family to Yours
If any of you have ever tried taking photos with one pet let alone two you know that they all look like outtakes. Nevertheless we love our furry family, Chester who is now 2 years old and our new addition Theodore who looks like he might give Chester a run for his money when it comes to size at just a few months old. We wanted to share a few impromptu ‘regular’ photos so to speak to show you our little family and to wish you and yours the happiest of holidays.

You have been wearing them under your favorite leather jacket and with a really awesome patent mini skirt but the weather is changing and its getting cold. Time time to embrace the biggest trend of the season: 90’s layering UNDER your clothes. We tackled this topic earlier in the season with shirts and sweatshirts under dresses but this may be the most obvious and literal interpretation of the trend: tee’s over a long sleeve shirt.

The Best Plaid Coat EVER: the Infamous Isabel Marant ‘Fred’ Jacket
I chose the plaid. In case you haven’t been following me on Instagram you should know that I fell in love with this Isabel Marant Etoile ‘Fred’ jacket just around my birthday and couldn’t decide whether to purchase it in a buffalo check plaid OR to buy it in a true Isabel Marant-esque striped pattern, so I purchased both. I solicited help from the insta-community to determine which I should keep and the plaid ended up winning. Here’s why: I am a statement-coat-wearer through and through, I don’t even think I own a black ‘coat’, jackets a plenty yes but even there I think there are maybe 3 black options…
