Black Watch in the Tabloids

Looks like Jermaine Dupree is a fan of the Black Watch tartan too!




















So does hubby




















And the bridesmaids like it too

Even a black watch garter ( we went unconventional, he wore the garter)

Does this mean, I'M TRENDY? I've never been trendy! :) Woohoo!

And One More Thing.....

I received these Kate Spade bowls for wedding gifts, their beautiful, but I'm not really sure what to put in them during this time of year. For Christmas, I filled them with small red and green ornaments and during the autumn season I filled them with little glass acorns (trust me it looked cute). So, since there really isn't a major holiday coming up anytime soon, I am looking for a neutral filler. Recently I've been filling it with Lindt chocolate balls, but but then I end up eating them all!

Any suggestions?

La question de Longchamp pour vous, s'il vous plaît et le merci

Hello, blog friends! Thanks again for all of your kind messages lately. I still haven't heard anything....but I'll keep you all posted for sure. I have to admit, the suspense is killing me! :)

So quick question......thanks to the help of Tres Poshe Preppy, my hubby found me a great christmas bag through the BagShop. It's arrived and I love it! I got this bag but in a beautiful shade of red and want to know, do I personalize this? Or do I leave it? I really don't know. I've asked around and have received mixed responses. And if I did, what color? I need all of your ever-stylish advice.

Thanks in advance, everyone! Hope you're week is off to a great start.

I'm Not Out of the Running Just Yet!

Literally 5 minutes after my post on Friday, I got an email from my friend that referred me for this job. She said (in a nutshell) "this is a mistake - you should NOT have gotten that email. It's an HR problem, my boss is calling you to explain everything." So (in a nutshell once again) I hadn't passed an assessment that they require a certain score on. Argh! So technincally according to their HR policy they do not hire people who do not get the right score on an assessment. Oops. I could make all of the excuses in the world, but at the end of the day I did a horrible job on the assessment. I was not at all prepared to take it, I opened it and it won't let you close out of it once you open it. So I was stuck! But anyway that's not the point - I'm not out of the running. They still really want me for the job, so we'll see what happens!

Thank you so much for all of your wonderful and sweet posts, they for sure made me feel so much better. You're all so great and I appreciate you so much!

One More Thing....

Blissful Belle, can I get an invite to read? I miss reading your blog! :) My email is mrslslblog@gmail.com.

Sad Day for Mrs. LSL

So I am having a really bummer day today. I didn't really say what I've been up to lately, you know in case the wrong person was reading (like my boss, eek), but I was interviewing for another job that I wanted so desperately. I have never been so confident before - it was the perfect job for me, perfect company, everything. I went in for 3 seperate interviews and I've been getting emails from the lady that interviewed me saying - "we are VERY INTERESTED in getting you in here for this job" - amongst other things. And I just got an email from their HR department saying that the job that I had interviewed for had been filled.

I am so shocked right now. I am at my current job holding back tears. I wanted that job so badly. Sorry to be Debbie Downer, and I know it's not the end of the world. I just really wanted that job. Any similar experiences?

My New Hero, Johnny Boden

I'm back, and in one piece. It was a LONG weekend, working every day 6:30am - 7 pm. It was so nice to be home and see the puppies (and my hubby of course. ) Kidding.....Thank you so much to everyone for their sweet messages last week! I loved reading them. :)

I got my new J. Crew catalog yesterday, and of course I want everything. Not in the budget, must stick to the budget. I got another catalog a few days ago too. Have you all checked out Boden's clothes? I'm really liking it. I remember the stores from my visits to the UK, but never checked them out until recently. And I may have a slight crush (innocent of course) on the founder Johnny Boden. I think it could be the red hair. Or maybe the accent. They have great basics, are afforable and really pretty color choice.

Some of my favorites:



















Chic Textured Cardigan



















Textured Cotton Coat

I guess I have a thing for oversized buttons. Let me know your Boden shopping experiences if you've had any!
