Treat day!

I guess today is my official first day back to being a housewife. Household executive. Stay at home non-mom. Cute housewife by day, trained assassin by night.

Never you mind... Today I have a very busy schedule that consists of a mini spa day at the ritzy Red Door Spa on Michigan Ave. (FYI, it's really on Walton. The plaque for it that its address is based on is posted right outside of the Louis Vuitton on Michigan Ave.), lunch and doing an exchange at the Anthropologie on State St. (pro tip: in the secret mall that no one goes in, compared to the Chicago Ave. location).

What better way to kick things off than to just relax today and get prettied up in anticipation for NYE and a party New Year's Day?

Some nail ideas I found while wasting time on Pinterest:

I really like this jacket by Liefsdottir at Anthro:

Structured outerlayers work really well on me right now. Though with jackets, it is all about how the arms are constructed. I like a nice narrow arm, because looser arms can make a petite girl like myself look 10 lbs heavier instantly.

I love winter white and I think this piece would look great with silk tanks and jeans tucked into boots until spring time. In spring, I can see it thrown over a sundress with sandals or paired with white skinny pants for an evening dinner look. I hope my local store still has it in the size 0! Online is sold out!

PS- I am also doing a few other productive things today like unpacking the ungodly amount of Fab.com purchases from the last three weeks and grocery shopping/making dinner tonight. And if I have time, getting my library/office perfectly organized so I can begin working on my children's book illustrations. It's my new "going to the office."
