Dear Husband,

Boy are you lucky that I’m prego and can’t travel… because the new All Aboard Ship Clutch from Kate Spade would have started a whole lotta begging and pleading to travel via ship to somewhere far away and romantic.  I’m thinking a transatlantic ship to Europe (minus the icebergs) … a fabulous wardrobe and lots of money!  But for now, I shall make my plans in my little brain… inspired by this fab clutch and tuck it away for some pleading later.

Dear Smarty Pants,

You think you know everything don’t you?  You put on your little glasses and spit out some nonsense and we are all supposed to believe you?!  Well, guess what… I may have had Lasik and don’t need my glasses anymore but I’m pretty smart too… I wear sweaters and jackets with elbow pads… very collegiate looking… very smart!

Dear Fruitcake,

The holidays are over and at this time next year, you will be just as hard and unsavory as you are right now.  You should really work on that… it really isn’t very becoming!  Maybe you need a little inspiration to soften your door jam status.

Dear 2012,

New Year… New Me… right?!  Well, maybe… I can at least try!  But, with a little baby girl on the way, I better set my mind to making some changes, because I know our world is about to be rocked!

Dear Blemish,

Is there a reason why you chose to suddenly pop up on my nose?!  Do you not realize a shiny nose is not only horribly offensive but frankly, difficult to cover up?!  There is only one type of shine I am liking at this time of year and it’s in clothes… not in skin!  Please clear the premises immediately!

Dear Sweet Baby Girl,

You are one lucky lady and you aren’t even born yet!!!  Your New Jersey baby shower was one chic soiree and how could it not be when it is was given by mommy’s bff, Dabney lee… your Aunt Khara (Ra Ra)… and your Grammy Regina.  From a cupcake and candy bar to sweet words of advice from all the guests, you sure are loved!  Mommy will be dreaming about all the details for months to come!

Dear Readers,

You may have been wondering where I have been over the last couple of weeks.  The answer is busy… plain and simple.  With the holidays approaching, the shop gets crazy, wholesale orders are coming in and frankly, I needed to focus on the business.  With that said, I’ll keep blogging but during this holiday season, it will only be a couple of times a week rather then five.  So stay tuned, tomorrow will be a blog on my baby shower

Dear Arm,

You look a little lonely with your other half all the way on the other side of my body.  Perhaps a little arm candy from Swell Caroline will keep you company!

Dear Jason Woo,

Well, thank you for making me feel totally inadequate.  Your fab designs are always such a source of inspiration for me, but where am I supposed to go with these hot pants that walked the runway for Spring 2012.  No matter how chic they may be (and they are completely glamorous, don’t get me wrong) these legs will never ever be able to wear what you are peddling.  I mean… if I could, I would… but I can’t, so I won’t!

Dear Things I Will Never Have, Don’t Need and Will Completely Obsess Over,

Well… thanks a lot Louis Vuitton… now look what you’ve done!!! I am infatuated with your art exhibit created by British artist, Billie Achilleo, celebrating your centennial of making leather goods.  These cuties are just so dang adorable, I can hardly contain my excitement.  However, squeeling and cooing will be of no help… for not one of these will so much as put a little toe in my home… sigh!
