Absolutely smitten with this charming photo by Duston Todd. I love the bride's classic red lipstick and pearls, and the glass-bottled Coca Colas herald the beginning of my favorite time of year!How are your Christmas plans coming along, darling readers? John and I have flights booked all over the country to see our families, and I'm just waiting for my very last gifts to arrive!
I have not started yet with all X-mas preparations but hopefully I´ll manage to start next weekend! Great picture , a kind of retro FEELING!!!love it!Where are you flying?I´ll fly to Spain to meet my family and Spanish friends, kisses
ReplyDeleteI am exchanging gifts with one friend this year. I am so excited becuase I know I am getting her something on her wish list, and something off of it that will make her laugh out loud. those are the best! I have one christmas destination to see my nephews who I havent seen in three years! I am very excited!
ReplyDeleteHooray! Love Christmas, and love that photo - as you say, it's very classic!
ReplyDeletethat is truly classic... began my christmas shopping on black friday but i know i'm going to end up dragging it out until the last day.
ReplyDeleteThere is something so romantic about sharing a classic coca cola! Two straws please ;)
ReplyDeleteI need some red lipstick for the holidays...
That is a classic photo- Those coke bottles to me remind me of cuba or dominican republic- every January during my childhood my parents and I would go to either of those places for a two week break to get away from the cold of Toronto- I remember loving to drink coke from the bottles there.
ReplyDeleteI love it! So beautiful and festive! I love her red lips too, I have not found the one for me yet...
ReplyDeleteThe pearls! The pearls! I love them!
ReplyDeleteyou are finished with your shopping already? I am the worst and ALWAYS wait until the last minute! This year I felt pretty prepared as I have picked up a couple little things, but keep finding things I love and bought lots of gifts for myself. horrible, i know. my excuse is I have to stock up on things while stateside, but think i need to finish the rest of my shopping so i don't feel so guilty. :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE this shot!! retro and sweet!
xox
Okay pass the Coca Cola...I have one gift half completed for my niece and that's it.
ReplyDeleteProbably too late to book a flight anywhere other than straight back to my bed. hehe
I need your organizational skills!! And I just need to tell you that this very morning I said to the Chef "why can we not be on holiday from the wednesday prior to thanksgiving all the way through January 2nd?"
It only seems fair.
xo,

Waiting for your last gifts to arrive? Oh my! Well I do already have my kiddo's gifts done and dropped off and wrapped up and everything so I guess I only have to worry about my husband's gifts and any other little gifts I want to give. I love coke in a bottle, especially from Mexico so I love this picture!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Such a chic retro style over it :)
ReplyDeleteGreat photo. There is something so pretty and classic about those old Coke bottles
ReplyDeletethis photo is classic.
ReplyDeleteI couldnt really believe I braved the cold that day without my coat on as well, I was literally telling Kevin, okay on the coat of three I am taking my coat off so snap the shots quick!
That definitely is a lovely photo. :)
ReplyDeletexx Love & Aloha
Love it! Christmas prep is going well -- and everyone is coming to us! If/when you are in Austin, I'll buy you a Mexican Coke in a bottle -- made w/ real sugar it's even more of a taste treat!
ReplyDeleteyou titled this so well! i love the red lipstick too and of course the coca cola's in hand. and the ring is pretty to boot:)
ReplyDelete:)gina
I just wanted to say thanks for the advice about what's going on in our house. I have had many people tell me to tell the ghost to go away, but I feel like that could create a problem if we upset it. I think we're going to just keep on doing what we're doing, and try not to let it bother us!
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog via the blogger location list (from Jen @ Slumber Designs) and I live in the Bay Area too! (I live in Oakland and work in SF). This is a lovely photo, and I'm so excited for the holiday as well. I'm heading across the country, too (to Georgia) on Dec. 19--can't wait!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. This photo just made my day. What perfect styling!!!! The coke with the lipstick and the white dress--it's just too beautiful to handle. I love that she's double-fisting them too, haha!
ReplyDeletecan't wait to hear where all you're traveling to this christmas! how fun! and thanks for your kind words about the new job :)
ReplyDeletePositively lovely image! Yes, I am not mentioning that we haven't begun holiday shopping....:)
