holiday snapshots!
by anna on January 8, 2013
Oh, HAY FRIENDS.
Is it already January 8th? Seriously?
I’m still in holiday mode over here, so don’t mind me. The Christmas tree’s up, the music’s still playing, and the cookies are flowing like water.
Delicious.
I just thought I’d take a minute to share some of my instagram snaps from the holiday season. You know, like I do. This holiday was a good one, filled with traveling and family and presents and hot chocolate and parties. When I think about it, all I can really remember aside from the photographs is that I was BEYOND BUSY, and although tiring, it was also extremely amazing. For Christmas I got to head home to Syracuse to spend time with my parents (and bask in the snow!) AND I visited my Grammy + Co. in Connecticut, and even took a little jaunt to the City.
{We saw the Rockettes. Craaazy good. Have you ever seen the Rockettes? More specifically, have you ever seen the Rockettes Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular? WHAT. A. DREAM. I was practically in tears I was so happy. Oh, New York City. You get me. You get me every time.}
Then, I took a lovely train ride back to Boston to ring in the New Year with my one and only.
It was pretty special.

And now, behold! My wonderful holiday season, for the memory books…
I’m excited to move forward, but I also want to go back, you know?
Sigh. Pretty much my feeling after every good thing ever.

I always love going to your IG feed, it’s the prettiest. I did see the radio city Christmas Spectacular in Providence last year but I have never seen in it NYC which I can imagine is a million times more glorious. Ah, I love Christmas stuff. Have you ever seen White Christmas? My family and James family are huge into musicals and plays. Jersey boys next month!!!

I have seen White Christmas! In Boston at the Wang a few years ago! Perfectly Christmas, I love it. Jersey Boys, though, I’ve never seen.
I love musicals, too! They are the BEST!
Let’s play a game. Musicals I have seen: Wicked, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Rent, Les Mis. Ahhhhhh, I love.
What about you?

Have I ever told you that your Instagram feed is my favorite Instagram feed OF ALL TIME? Oh, I haven’t? IT IS. Seriously, your photos always make me happy. SO SO HAPPY.

THANK. YOU!
Smilin’ like a fool.

I agree with Alex, you have a stellar instagram feed.
Also, I totally get the feeling of being stuck, loving the holidays so much you want to go back, but still being excited to move forward. The hardest part of January-February for me each year is the unknown – not having big plans, not knowing when my family will all gather next, not knowing when Spring will makes its first appearance.
p.s. the pic of you as a baby. precious. cords and polka dots, clearly you’ve had style all along!

I know that January-February feeling all too well. I try to just soak up the cozy. Because I know that spring and summer WILL come again and it will be absolutely glorious.
And thanks for the nice words about my instagram feed. It’s absolutely my favorite form of social media. Photography + friends, what could be better?

I love finding new blogs at this time of the year and seeing the year in reviews and all of the wonderful Christmas adventures everyone had. These pictures are great, and I love your anchor cover for your phone.

Your outfits just get me, Anna. You have such good taste and you look so cute! I especially love the gold metallic shirt and black skirt with the flats.
Did you like The History of Love? That is one of my favorite books. I loved Nicole Krauss’s writing style in that book. I seriously hope they make a movie out of it one day.
by Lauren Michelle on January 9, 2013 at 7:22 pm. #
That gold shirt was from Forever 21. GO THERE AND BUY ALL THE PRETTY THINGS. It’s cheap, too!
I loved that book, also. Krauss’ writing is incredibly beautiful. SO GOOD.
