Love this beautiful glowy image from January's vogue with Natalie Portman. Can't wait to see Black Swan.

Weekend roundup

Wrapped some packages. Am loving the Marimekko for Crate & Barrel patterned paper. Am obviously also loving the wooly felt penguin ornaments as well!

Cupcake break. Sprinkles. I think they really are the best cupcake out there.

Wagamama style ramen for a cold night.

Used the left over greens from making winter flower boxes as the base for a couple of arrangements.

Hit the Holly Ball to benefit Chicago Children's Charities. Blast!

Ordered xmas cards, a little late, yikes!!
