Scarves

Ever since seeing this video I have been slightly obsessed with how a scarf can change a look and really add a layer of warmth which is important during most of the year in Chicago. Really, its just another accessory to pine over, so here are a few from a brand I've seen a lot of lately, We Are Owls. At $260, they are pricey, but oh, so, beautiful!

New Years Resolutions?

I am not the sort of girl who makes resolutions. EVER. In 2012, I made one--start a blog, which obviously has been a success....so far. I also decided to shake this whole resolution thing up a bit. I thought I would make a new resolution each month and keep it up along with adding a new one each month. I like to keep things simple so my January resolution was very simple. I resolved to empty the dishwasher each time it was done cleaning. I have been more likely to have a whole new cycle in the sink ready to go before I emptied it. Sorta like the laundry where I'll pick the clean clothes out of the hamper instead of folding and putting away. Wow, that sounds lazy, doesn't it? Honestly, it has really improved my life and attitude in the kitchen. Small changes can really have big results. Honoring my 2012 resolutions, I will drink more water in February and for the rest of the year. I have to figure out what "more" is, but for now I am committing to getting my water from water and not diluted in iced coffee. Wish me luck!
