I resolved to wear more red, and I’ve been wildly successful already. I’m ambitious like that. It looks great with black and other neutrals (see above), so I guess my next challenge is to wear it with other colors. This month the obvious choice would be green, but that’ll depend on how much I’m feeling like an elf.

Speaking of Elf, I assume everyone else is watching exclusively Christmas movies by this point, right? On heavy rotation in this house are: Elf, Little Women, Love Actually, Four Christmases, and the Santa Clause. That means statements like these are also on heavy rotation: “What’s a Christmasgram? I want one!” “Josephine, there’s a draft!” “I HATE Uncle Jamie!” “You don’t say my name used to be Asshole but now it’s Bob. You say my name’s Bob.” “Does this look like a little weight to you?!”

You might think there aren’t many situations when it would be relevant to make these statements, but you would be wrong. What are your favorite Christmas movie quotes? The more random, the better!

Any fellow gladiators out there? I’m counting down the days til Season 6 of Scandal! Remember the season when Kerry Washington was pregnant in real life, so Olivia Pope was suddenly really into ponchos? One time she took off her poncho to reveal…another poncho. That show was ahead of its time (poncho-wise) because now it seems the one-size wearable blankets are everywhere! I got this one for 15 bucks on Black Friday in New York and it’s super cozy. I’m thinking I’ll leave the doubling up to Olivia Pope though. Call me a traditionalist, but I’m more of a one-poncho-at-a-time kind of girl.
