Everything is sweeter when it's mini-sized... especially tiny loafers and city-cool toys tied up in pretty bows, stuffed under the tree! Whenever I buy gifts for Lorelai, I go with small versions of things I would love to get myself. She loves being like mommy and I appreciate tripping over well designed toys! This year, a few fun playthings, a warm winter coat and something fun to put in her big girl room are all in her letter to Santa. Because it's never too early to foster a good habit, Lo and I will be sending out thank you cards after we've opened presents... I'm sure the grandmas will appreciate a little scribble from Lo!

A few weeks ago I attended Freutcamp, a blog workshop hosted by Leah of Freutcake. The whole experience was so much fun (hopefully a recap is coming to the blog soon) and I was lucky enough to capture a few snaps of my outfit from the first day (full of photoshop tutorials, photoshoot demos and networking... oh my)!

I have to admit, I was a little nervous picking clothes for "camp".  A group of twenty five women (who all turned out to be incredibly lovely) hardly sounded like the right time to try a new trend or strap on my six inch stilettos but I weathered through and found the perfect mix of quirk and corporate! A structured skirt helped tone it down but sparkly shoes (you know I love me some sparkle...) and this 3D polka dot sweater were so much fun.

A word to the wise: If lunch is served picnic-style, don't opt for a skirt. Picnic benches + a short hemline does not a classy first impression make... you're welcome.
