Open field

Hello everyone. For those that celebrated Thanksgiving, I hope you all had a blast ! We had a wonderful thanksgiving with the company of the people we love. My mother in law's house was full of people but we managed to find space for everyone. A few days of time off is really nice but getting back to a normal routine is quite a challenged for me this morning. It may take until tomorrow to snap out of it. There are things that needs to get done so this is a quick say Hi to everyone and wish you a fantastic week. But first things first is hello December ! You sure came so fast. How can it be possible that we are a month away to welcome a new year. But one thing is for sure that this ankle boots are really made for walking. I been wearing it non stop and it is comfortable than I thought !

Thank you from the heart.

xoxo

The brits

My, my, my.... The last time I checked we are not british. The last time I checked we most certainly not pirates and therefore I don't speak pirate. But my son start talking to me his own version of british accent. He's funny and it doesn't surprise me a bit but I still can't keep a straight face. I have to go to the other room and laugh so he doesn't see me. He even practice reciting his poem at home with a british accent. He's serious about it and I don't want to hurt his feelings. I just let him. It is so amazing how we see ourselves in our children. I see myself in my son in many ways. Like him being funny, intuitive, full of life, too opinionated and talkative. He's extremely closed to both me and his dad but there are things that he's a lot more comfortable doing just in front of me. I asked him why? He says, because dad is always serious(true). I am most silly with my son than my husband but I can be tough and means business when there is a need for it. 

Then the other day, I chaperone my son's class field trip. A classmate of his came up to me and asks, Dylan's mom are you british? Ha, ha ha, I am not. Dylan says you are :).

Also if not speaking in a british or pirate accents cracks me up every now and then, once in a while my son will call me Mama Gertrude.... Not sure but your guess is as good as mine.

Now let's talk about outfit....

As I am showing a new found likeness for shades of gray, I also rekindle my old love for olive and turtle neck sweaters. This skirt's true color is olive green and it didn't show much on my pictures(sigh).

Thank you from the heart.

Cape town

Hi everyone. I can't believe we are in November already. Days come by and go so fast and it feels like I can't keep up. I adore cape. I don't like any drama in my life but a drama and an extra oomph a cape can give to any ensemble is way better and acceptable for me. Don't you think?

 Then there she is, the drama that I was looking for. 

To cape or not to cape?

Thank you from the heart.

Oktoberfest

Over the weekend we went on a short trip as a weekend getaway to this small town north of Georgia called Helen. It is a cute little german town that attracts tourist all year long and most especially around the Fall and holiday season. Helen's biggest celebration is their Oktoberfest that attracts massive people every year and that includes us of course. Even though this was not our first time to visit, it was still lots of fun, food and shopping. 

 Here are some pictures and hope you enjoy them. 

Thank you from the heart.

This is in one of those cute stores that serves the best hot cocoa ever. The smell of the chocolate takes everyone here and while I am waiting, found me my favorite spot in the whole store.

A German town is not complete without a christmas store that was a  delight to visit.
