Home for the Holidays

Santa Baby,

I realize you've been particularly busy, what with the elves bogarting the majority of your time with notorious marshmallow fights and the sudden reinstatement of hot chocolate… not to mention those other precarious activities involving one sequestered sleigh bell. Let’s be honest, Dondor throwing his back out during that impromptu flight simulation and the sticky candy cane incident with Blitzen no one’s talking about, certainly has caused a rift in your mission-provoking schedule. But if you'd please FedEx/USPS/UPS the following items to my Christmas tree this holiday season, I’d genuinely appreciate it.
Obviously, I've been exceptionally bad… I mean good and only moderately naughty this year... a few misdemeanors, bar fights, F*** you slip-ups, madcap coffee addictions, and obsessive online shopping-revelry certainly doesn’t warrant a stocking full of coal, right.
Anyway, Santa, without appearing overzealous, there’s no time like the present to mention that I’ve attached my 13-page smorgasbord for your evaluation. With yuletide bliss looming, I’ve bullet pointed, highlighted, and earnestly emphasized in alphabetical order my Christmas must-haves… but feel free to transport my wish list at your earliest convenience.

Xoxo,
Bella

Peace, love... and Merry Christmas!

I know everyone is saying it but I will just tell you again, that vest is killer! I want to wear something like that for new years with black sparkle leggings and my high pin up girl Anna Sui shoes. I have six days and counting to find it:)

I agree, I felt a tad colorless with the look but at the same time the bag kind of counts, no? I adore your look here and always adore your visits to my blog. I enjoy reading what you have to say. :) Your boots- you wear them so fabulously well. I need to rock mine again. You've inspired me. ;)

HAVE A HOLLY JOLLY, MERRY CHRISTMAS and keep things fashionable and lovable! :)

your outfit looks.. beyond fierce! I love it.. the chains... the ferosh boots.. to die for. However, your letter to santa just gave me the giggles.. although, Im sure he would appreciate the fact that you bullet pointed, alphabetized and highlighted your must haves.. even though its 13 pages to go through. (lol) I met Santa on the 24th.. I shouldve asked him what he thought of your letter! hehe..

Anywoo, Happy Holidays Dear!

I love the location where you shot the photos..

In Her Final Hours

Goodbye my baby girl.  Through and through, no ifs, ands, or buts I'm what you'd call a "Pet Person". My little ones are like my children...sometimes this even includes the neighbor's pets.  Yesterday I lost my beloved kitty and there is intense pain that accompanies this loss. In her final hours, she appeared frail, unable to walk...diluted and unlike the feisty feline that I'd spent the last 13 years nurturing. A significant and constant part of my life, even in her passing, she fought to stay with me.  There's a glimpse of comfort in knowing we have deeply loved and cared for her to the very best of our abilities. I'm grateful for all her bossy silent meows and a million scratchy tongue kisses. I'm even grateful for the days when I'm sure she thought I was her maid. Holding her in my arms one last time, trying to accept her looming death felt like a nightmare but watching her suffer as End Stage Renal Failure submer
