New Year’s Eve.

I'm happy to be safe and at home in Charlotte this New Year's Eve – in my comfy clothes, relaxing! But that definitely doesn't stop me from daydreaming about what I would be wearing if I was spending a night on the town! New Year's is an excuse to go a little over the top…

Lindsay - im feeling pretty good about my flannel pjs! this is the first day since saturday that im not sick, so we decided to take it easy and relax at home. we’d planned to go out for sushi so i ran out and picked some up for my husband and got some miso soup for me – he was totally surprise when he got home from work. happy new year, jessica! what an exciting year 2009 will be for you!

Deals.

It's been a super relaxing week around here. The weather in Charlotte is mild and comfortable. Today it was sunny and 66 degrees. (Not looking a bit like Christmas!) I'm getting a TON of organizing done. And I took advantage of some of the great after-Christmas online deals! Here's a glimpse at a few of…

jessica - Hi Kristine – From what I can see, that coat is sold out online. But I found this on their site – and they may be able to locate one in their stores for you:
“Our personal shoppers can help.
Call 866 739 5946 or email erica@jcrew.com to get started”
The online item number was 96309.
Good luck!
Jessica

Carrie - Yes, I have spent LOTS of money at JCrew lately. :)

Kristine - Oh, I love the purple jacket…Is it sold out? I can’t find it! Can you link it…
Love your blog!
Kristine

Holly T. - Wow…those are some great deals. Thanks for the tips.
I had some nursing tank tops that I loved back when I was nursing my little ones. My favorite for sure…way more comfortable since you tend to change cup size quickly while nursing (like within hours if you have a hungry little one!) :0)

Katie - Thanks for all the sale information….looks like you snagged some great finds!

Merry Christmas!

Mom - So fun to see the Cross-stitch Santa I made for you and Jeffrey on your Blog. I am working on another one, but the design is more complicated and it’s harder to see in the light we have here in our Mokihana room. I hope your days are Merry and bright! Love, Mom

Aimee - Adorable table! Happy New Year Jessica:)

jenn - Merry Christmas Jes!!! And great job on the kids table :) love it!

Claudia Wolff - Merry Xmas, Jessica!

Boyfriend jeans.

I borrowed the above picture from www.fashionising.com and I'm now adding their address to my daily website visit list. They've got great posts. And ask you click more and more you see all kinds of goodies. Check it out! I'd love to know if you're a fan of the boyfriend denim look? I go back…

Jessica Fulkerson - naaaah. i like the look of them but i’m still all about the skinnies- they’re just more my slightly rockerish style.
cute look though. i like them somewhere in the middle of your bottom two pictures- casual but chic- more like reese or rachel above.

Elizabeth Bienas - i like it on certain people, but overall i’m not a fan. they wouldn’t work on me. i like the Reese photo with the cute tshirt and the dressy one with the glittery top.

liz - I think I like it best as Reese is wearing it, with a figure flattering/hugging t-shirt that shows your “feminine side” and I like the slightly rolled hem too – womens ankles are pretty I think. My thoughts.

Amanda - I think it’s a look very few people can pull off. Katie Holmes is not one of them. It’s not something I would do.

karen - ick , ish , ugh !

tracy - I agree that I too go back and forth, and also agree that if done I would prefer a dressy top, however I’m still not sold on the jeans. The best I’ve seen them look is on the above photo of Reese Witherspoon!
