Style Sunday: Some Sparkle

Posted on December 30, 2012May 10, 2020 by the italiagal

The sequin is in and since I prefer a more modest style, I have resisted …but I do like this outfit… Pinterest This is sophisticated. And I already have the other items: a dark gray blazer, white button down shirt, dark blue jeans and strands of pearls. I may look around for a sequin top……

Style Sunday: Modern Christmas Decoration

Posted on December 23, 2012May 10, 2020 by the italiagal

I know this is just a little thing, but I love using lots of the same object to fill a container or a few to use as decoration, instead of displaying just another Santa figurine. It’s modern and budget-friendly. This is 3 packs (or $9 worth) of small red Christmas ornaments from Target as filler…

Style Sunday: My Bookcase Christmas Gift

Posted on December 16, 2012May 10, 2020 by the italiagal

This is my big Christmas gift I received from my parents early. It’s the Avington Bookshelf in Dark Tobacco I’ve wanted from Target for years now. It’s a more sophisticated option than the collegiate IKEA Expedit unit to store my beloved books (and white pieces). This is how I styled it… The second shelf is…

Phestive Spirit of the Season in Philadelphia

Posted on December 15, 2012May 10, 2020 by the italiagal

On Friday, November 30th, I spent the day in Philadelphia, a city I adore. I did exactly what I wanted to do. I had such an amazing day! I wanted to take a ton of pictures …but discovered that my camera battery was completely dead upon arrival. My intention for this post was “my day…

Fabulous Friday

Posted on December 15, 2012May 10, 2020 by the italiagal

I had such a great day off today. This was my last vacation day of the year from my full time job and my last chance to relax before I work five days in a row at my part-time job. This was a payday Friday, so, first, I went shopping at Target and grocery shopping…

Busy

Posted on December 11, 2012May 10, 2020 by the italiagal

When asked how I’ve been lately, I hate answering “busy.” I would much prefer to recount the beautiful happenings in life, both the big things and little things. …but, unfortunately, “busy” is the truth. I’m sure others are just as busy with holiday things to do at this time. I have had fun though… Here’s…

I love it. This is my 600th pin… Pinterest

Style Sunday: Simple yet Chic Centerpiece

Posted on December 10, 2012May 10, 2020 by the italiagal

In this post, I expressed my desire to recreate this centerpiece, consisting of a plate, jar candles and jingle bells… Pinterest …and I did… I picked up the plate at JCPenney, the jingle bells at Michael’s, and the candles at Target.

Style Sunday: Capsule Wardrobe

Posted on December 4, 2012May 10, 2020 by the italiagal

The capsule wardrobe can also be called a ten-item wardrobe, composed of select basics and classics. I don’t possess just 10 items for fall and winter though… In fact, I cultivated 30, three times as many, which works for me since I have three lives! You see, I work a full time job, a part-time job,…
