Smalls in the City: got MLK?

http://smallsinthecity.blogspot.com/2009/01/got-mlk.html

Thursday, January 15, 2009. Not only was I super happy and surprised to find out that we get 1/2 day off Friday and Monday off work for Martin Luther King Day, but i've been I've been so excited and looking forward to the Inaguration for months! I think it's pretty incredible that Obama becomes the first African American President in history the day after MLK's birthday. I have dreams of the great things to come for our country. The pride is overwhelming. What are you all doing for the long weekend?

Smalls in the City: March 2008

http://smallsinthecity.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html

Thursday, March 20, 2008. Europe shopping march 08. I realized that I didn't come home with any pictures of myself with the beautiful surroundings in London or Stockholm-actually i didn't take many pics of the scenery at all which is kinda lame, but then again i guess it wasn't a vacation. I was on a mission for fashion! No time for legitimate sight seeing :(. But I did manage to steal a few good shots of scenery in Stockholm. I really love that city. I'm so glad I convinced my bosses to go there...Hope ...

Monday, July 6, 2009. Coco Avant Chanel- MUST SEE. I got to go see an early screening of Coco Avant Chanel. A few weeks ago at the Sony building with our bestie Kelly. It comes out in September and I highly recommend that everyone should see it- Chanel lovers and film lovers alike.

Smalls in the City: February 2009

http://smallsinthecity.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html

Tuesday, February 10, 2009. Did anyone else go see Coraline this weekend? We saw it Sunday in 3D (recommended) and loved it! It's very beautiful and inspiring. I think Alysson's head was going to explode! I admit that like usual, I was caught up in the "costumes" throughout the movie, though these were tiny clothes created for a precocious pre-teen claymation girl. She is quite a dresser and the whole time I was thinking. Where did she get that amazing captain's hat! Way of course :). Go See it now!

Smalls in the City: Spring Forward

http://smallsinthecity.blogspot.com/2009/01/spring-forward.html

Tuesday, January 27, 2009. Welcome to my spring wish list. I have to say, i'm always on the hunt for a bargain so being a "recessionista" actually suits me quite well! The pictures below are from my fave go-to online stores where i can almost always find the things i'm looking for (and more) at super steals. Now if the weather would only bend to my every command and warm up already! I'm ready for spring! First up. FLORAL PRINTS! WASHED LEATHER pieces are really making a statement in nuetral colors (also ...

Smalls in the City: January 2009

http://smallsinthecity.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html

Wednesday, January 28, 2009. My hair is finally almost long enough to do these sweet heidi braids for spring. I love the messy look, it's so romantic! It's also good to keep my hair out of my way- seriously i don't know what to do with all this long hair and i'm scared i'll get bored and chop it off again! Don't worry, alysson has already nixed that idea.) It took forevs to grow out my bangs, so i'm going to let them be long for now and just pull them back in a sweet little braid. I'm ready for spring!

Smalls in the City: July 2009

http://smallsinthecity.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html

Monday, July 13, 2009. This is an update to the last post, but deserves one all it's own. It's too good! I was not joking around when I said that my aunt Karen made AMAZING blanket coats in the 90's! Kacie was kind enough to scan these amazing photos. Here she is modeling for the lookbook. Rachel and Lori modeling the variety of colors and lengths. Aunt Kelly rocking an awesome 90's perm with her red smocking jacket version. Fashion is not just a job for us McDonell's. It's running through our veins!
