Happy Hour Time

Well hello there Friday, fancy meeting you here! I don’t know about you but for me this week went by in the blink of an eye! I can hardly believe that Christmas has come and gone and that New Years is just around the corner…I have to say, I definitely prefer how 2014 sounds over 2013! Keeping an eye out the next few days for New Year’s Eve posts such as what to wear on New Year’s Eve, party ideas, and a few other festive posts I have planned out. I hope everyone had a lovely and blessed Christmas Day with family and loved ones. Here’s to a memorable weekend surrounded by the ones we love ,creating unforgettable memories. Cheers! 

“Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.”
~ Cecil Beaton
