It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Another weekend gone by far too fast, and Monday came far too quick.

On Saturday my dear friends Kelly and Lauren hosted their holiday party and set the bar HIGH. I felt like warning everyone in attendance that is coming to our party this weekend that they cannot hold us to this standard.

Their's was cocktail themed too, so I took the opportunity to rock some of my new birthday goods.

The purse was from Kyle (boy pays attention apparently, I mentioned my love of the bag here), dress is also from ModCloth, and is available here. Watch is from MK, earrings and bracelet were birthday gifts from my mom.

I stayed having fun later than I should, since I had promised to help pace my friend in her first 8k the next morning. I rallied, and put my pacer and photographer hat on.

She did GREAT and finished just under 9:00 min mile average. She was shooting for 10:00 min miles, but she was looking awesome so I pushed her on the pace a little. (Thank god she didn't get too mad at me when she realized what I did).

We recuperated with some essentials at the new Matchbox on 14th street.

 When I got home, I started doing some of the prep for our holiday party next weekend.

While we were decorating, I was getting updates from my family in Minnesota, which is dealing with blizzard conditions. I don't think we will be able to recreate the same "winter wonderland" look and feel.

Happy Monday, all!!
