I have to say that after I spend 4 months on living a low carb lifestyle that the holidays sure know how to derail the constant discipline. My current party dress ideal is cute, classy and the must have is shirring around the mid section. The easiest way to hide the food and booze bump!

This dress is only $59! Buy it here

Officially after the Carnival of Cute I will transform from crazy party planning lady to nutso Christmas planning lady. This will be my 2nd year with Christmas day at my house and I am so honored and lucky to host. A warm colorful home filled with smells of cooking and accompanied by wonderful guests is the ultimate reward for a tumultuous year of fun and work. I will gladly share all my planning down to recipes photos and some videos. We are getting so interactive at T&T.

In the next couple of days we will be getting our glorious face lift for Trouble & Trifle. Hold onto your hats, this is big time!





XOXO,
Trifle

My goodness, who knew 46 degrees felt so cold!

This weekend I slaved over the Carnival of Cute and managed to bring in the yuletide cheer. My Christmas tree is up and several gifts have been wrapped.

This year I struggle with the thought of "wanting" gifts. Even thinking of what other people can get me has become a chore.

On the other hand, my gift shopping has gone very well. I am half done and plan on settling the rest this week.

Do you make a Christmas list? Or does your family wing it?

If you were an adolescent in the early 90's you are about to understand something I'm about to share more than anyone else.

I am 2 hours away from seeing Weezer play the exquisite "blue album" from start to to finish.
Lucky enough to have tickets to the once in a lifetime Weezer Memories tour I am confronted with flash backs of teenage angst and days in my bedroom collaging the wall with Jane and Rolling Stone magazine.  Ah, the simple life.

Here's the track list for my evening of WEEZER:

1.	"My Name Is Jonas"
2.	"No One Else"
3.	"The World Has Turned and Left Me Here"
4.	"Buddy Holly"
5.	"Undone – The Sweater Song"
6.	"Surf Wax America"
7.	"Say It Ain't So"
8.	"In the Garage"
9.	"Holiday"
10.	"Only in Dreams"

If only I could flashback and grab my skinny micro cords from Delia's catalogue, my super cool vintage tees which I am sure were made for toddlers and whatever ridiculous accessories I was wearing at the time. Baby blue cat collar with rhinestones? Yes.

You take your car, I'll take my board
You take your car, I'll take my board
Let's go!

Turkey Day outfits can go two ways. Conservative and cute with dark pants and fancy plaid. Or you can be the family weirdo (me) and mix it up with a dark dress mixed with relevent accessories customized just for the day. I'm OBSESSED with the native american inspired top hat with turkey feathers.

Trouble & Trifle will be doing seperate but wonderful things, expect lots of photos and a few a recipes coming soon. I will be at my Mother in law's home in a mysterious land called Temecula with our wonderful family and some of my best friends in the world.

Ready for a day full of carbs, boardgames, champagne and laughter.

Gobble Gobble Hey!

PS Always miss my Mom, Grandma and Brothers on holidays
PPS Why didn't the Ramones ever do a holiday album?
