Either way, we had a scrumptious dinner with dear friends, our bambinos are conked out from all the excitement, and I will be smothering every meal with left over red chile adobo gravy for the next 4 days.
We actually had a decent cooking plan but I somehow still managed to look like this about 45 min before our guests were to arrive...
I ran a curling iron over my hair, traded up for some trouser jeans, threw on some bling and did some quick makeup.......and went to my go-to leopard print flats that I can't seem to break away from.
How about a cheesy setting the table photo....
No? How about some with my darling bed-head crowned children that just woke up from their nap.....
The picture of innocence, this one...

Sigh. Your clothes and your house always look so...great! Great. I'm going to start asking myself "what would Deme do?".
ReplyDeleteNow that could be dangerous....the answer is procrastinate, nap and spike your coffee ;)
DeleteI like how you just "ran a curling iron over your hair"
ReplyDeleteummmmmm teach me?
hate my hair and yours looks awesome.
thanks for linking!!!! hope you guys had a great day!!!!
it's a love-hate relationship with the locks over here.....thanks for a great link-up and hope the stressful day was followed by an ok evening!
DeleteSo, I'm just realizing you look like that girl on Downton Abbey, who is also drop dead gorgeous. And I love the cheesy table-setting. Funny how pictures feel so awkward in the taking, but really do look good when published.
ReplyDeleteyou are way too sweet, Elizabeth!
DeleteDeme, the outfit... love it! You have style and grace cousin of mine! S's face is always so full of personality! I just love it!
ReplyDeleteHe's always good for at least a few great facial expressions!
DeleteWow! You look great! I like your shirt, leopard print flats, & you know I love the apron!
ReplyDeleteMy son wore the same shirt yours is wearing in our Christmas pics this year.
I second Grace-- teach me how to make my hair look like yours?
Happy Thanksgiving!
and I wouldn't be surprised if that shirt makes a reappearance at Christmas too!
DeleteNo super tricks to the hair...it's all about the cut. Lots of layers and a big barrel curling iron :)
No, I think you need to write a detailed post on how you got your hair to look like that! You look fantastic!
DeleteThanks Bonnie - I'll see if I can come up with one :)
DeleteLOVE that shirt!!! Might have to snatch one up for myself! :o)
ReplyDeleteyou look so chic, yet relaxed for a day of grubbing :) Love the Old Navy top!

You looked positively chic on Thanksgiving day! I love that apron. It looks Anthrpologieish! I love that their aprons look like dresses! I am with all the gals on the comments-I loved your hair!!!! Mine is at the stage where I hate it-not long and not short. I either keep it growing or get tired and chop it short again. I really want long hair again so when I get down on my hair I will be looking at the beauty of yours and tell myself to just keep growing!!
ReplyDeleteYou clean up great, girlie!!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteHair! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove the shoes! I need a pair of those. The before and after pics are priceless, I need a lesson in "running a curling iron through my hair".
