{super shiny, pointy new flats to replace a well-loved pair that tore last month after 4 years}
To put it simply, the last few weeks have been hectic. Between multiple family get-together events, preparing for a Christmas meal with friends and squeezing in a couple of dates before David goes away for a bit, there sadly hasn’t been much time to be calm. Here are a few little pieces of happy, and a couple of pretty things to remind myself to step back, take a breather and enjoy the things around me.
{spending an entire day decorating a gingerbread house (I baked the gingerbread using this recipe) with the bestie}
{discovering an amazing grilled cheese food truck – what could be better?!}
{36 roses from David for our 36 month/3 year anniversary!}

Hello my love!! Seems like you’ve been a busy little bee. I def love the holidays and all the holiday parties. So fun to get together with loved ones and awesome friends.. and of course food! hahaha.
I’m in love with you new flats. I’ve always wanted to get a pair of Tory Burch flats, but haven’t taken the plunge just yet. Perhaps soon. I’m sure they’re a nice invested.. and it’s not that harsh on the pocket book either.
The gingerbread home is adorbs and so is your man. So sweet that he got you 36 rose! Congrats on your threes years. Cheers to more!!
And lastly, I love your expanding ring collection. Veronica also sent me a Build ring and I’ve been wearing it ever since. Can’t wait to feature it on my blog. She’s truly talented. I adore the modern design of her pieces.
Well, I hope you’ve been doing amazingly well! Sorry for the novel. heheh. Happy Holidays, love!

Oh my, a grilled cheese food truck?! That sounds awesome! You’ll have to let me know where it is, I loved grilled cheese sandwiches!
Your gingerbread house looks amazing by the way, I don’t think I have ever seen such a detailed house. Very nice!
And I am in love with your collection of golden rings. Golden jewellery is my favorite.

Lovely photos… especially I love beautiful rings!
Um I’m sorry where is the grilled cheese food truck? I need to know about this. I eat grilled cheese every other day haha. Love all these beautiful pics love!

I just bought the exact same flats! They’re so comfortable. I was worried they would look scrunchy on, but they actually unwrinkle quite well.
I would very much like to know where this grilled cheese truck is too!
Love the different shapes of the rings! I think I’ll try baking my own gingerbread house this year as well..

if gold embellished nails and gingerbread houses weren’t out of this world enough, well David really does know how to treat a lady and the roses are beautiful Jen! he is just the most darling man and the two of you make one heck of a perfect couple!
very sweet spots of joy, i hope that things get on a calmer tip for you soon and there’s time to chill out over the holidays. um……grilled cheese food truck…..what on earth?! hook a girl up! xo ♥
