Friday Five

I am on my way to NYC!! I have actually scheduled my post for the time I had to wake up...EARLY, EARLY! My week has been a whirlwind, hence the later posts, but I am certainly going out with a bang. My week began with a FABULOUS night at Cowboys Stadium. It was my first ever NFL game and it was certainly a nail biter. It was a sad loss, but fun none-the-less. The rest of the week has been full of events and gatherings and wrapping of gifts. It really is the BUSIEST time of year! Anyway, even in the midst of the rush I am loving a few things this week:

My Fur Cape

I got this five years ago as a gift (it was purchased at Neiman Marcus for those on the hunt for one of their own) and love it. It is SO soft and warm and always looks cute too making it a perfect staple in my wardrobe!

Highland Park Village

While I LOVE HPV at any time of the year, it is especially beautiful at Christmas. It is just stunning really. The trees are so well lit, Christmas music plays as you stroll about and if you are lucky you might even spy a horse drawn carriage.

My New New Year's Pajamas

These are another great find at my beloved JCP! I spotted them in an ad and they were too fun to not get my hands on and at $16 they were a steal. They are my new winter pajamas and I plan to break them in in NYC this weekend.

My Gift Stickers

I love the personal touch my monogram stickers add to gifts. The pink and green stickers have been working for everything and a great year round solution (I made these myself and they were printed at Uprinting.com after I won A. Liz's giveaway) and the red and green stickers were ordered from my friend.

Packing for NYC!

All my bags are packed and I am ready to go! I have my cold weather clothes in my suitcase and my blog gathering favors in my carry on. I have a feeling this is going to be a weekend that will go down in the books! I am beyond excited and cannot wait to share all our fun adventures upon our return. If you follow me on Twitter, expect lots of fun photos and updates throughout the weekend!

Have a BLESSED weekend! I hope yours will not be too crazy with last minute shopping and errands. No matter what you have in store, be sure to take a breather and give thanks for all you have been given this year.
