So much more than a little black book...

While in the process of addressing Christmas cards I have realized just how unorganized I am. Sure, I wish I could be more organized and I usually try with to-do lists, my darling Lilly Pulitzer Agenda, and my wall calender, but to no avail my organization skills are greatly lacking.

At the moment my "address book" consists of torn off labels from envelopes of everyones address (tacky, yes, I know) I just have never had to time to sit down and write them all down into an actually address book. I might just have to go out and purchase one of the following address books in order to keep one of my other New Years Resolutions of being more organized in 2012.

gybe-ho boatwear giveaway hosted by Nautical by Nature

I recently came across a great company, gybe-ho boatwear, through another blog, Nautical by Nature, who is having an amazing giveaway this week.

Looking through their website I found some great t-shirts that I am adding to my Christmas gift list – my parents and my aunt would love some of their items! I also found an adorable t-shirt for my little nephew, Oren! And since we are celebrating Christmas a few weeks late because my dad is off working on a boat in the Caribbean I still have plenty of time to order them and have them at the house in time for "late-Christmas" as we are calling it.


These are a few of my favorite items:

Since I love all things Massachusetts this t-shirt is perfect for me! Also interested in getting a Florida one, too!

Love this shirt - it's a long sleeve tee and so great for the holidays!

Super cute!

Perfect shirt for my nephew, Oren. My parents named their dinghy to their sailboat after him (their first grandchild), so obviously he has sailing in his blood!

Check out Nautical by Natures blog and enter the giveaway to win an awesome custom shirt!

Kate Spade Color of the Month - NAVY!

So this is my first Polyvore set - I have seen it on so many other blogs and I thought I would give it a try - and what better way to test it out that with the Kate Spade color of the month.

I simply love all things navy - it is the best way to transition all things nautical from summer into your fall and winter wardrobe. And with so many Christmas and New Years party's on the horizon I had to glam it up with some glitter.

Welcome back!

Just as I have gone through many changes since 2009, so has this blog. It has been remodeled, neglected, revisited, edited, reformatted, and restructured, but it has always been something in the back of my mind that I would like to expand upon. In my attempts to turn this into something I can be proud of, I am starting one of my New Year’s Resolutions a little early – I am hoping to get more in touch with my blogging self and be more open and willing to document things in my life. I also am interested in following and being involved on other peoples blogs – there are so many great blogs that I follow and am interested in interacting with them.


Cheers to the holidays!
