I had originally started this post with sappy writing, dripping with sentiment of the nostalgic, reflective kind. Then I thought ‘Save it Willardson – this is a fashion blog.’ And so it is, and so I’ve done. I’ll warn you that I don’t think that fact will spare these pages from ever hosting my original tender feelings that are of a more serious nature. However, for today, light-heartedness has won the battle. You’re welcome. Seeing as how this IS a fashion blog (fashion? personal style? whatevs.), I thought it might be fun to round up the top-rated outfits on GBO in 2013. These were the ensembs that garnered the highest number of G’s. If you’re new here and have no clue what the deuce GBO stands for, now would be a good time to learn. And if you’re not someone who usually rates the outfits, perhaps you should make that…
Killer Photographer
I wanted to introduce you to an amaze-balls Bay area photographer, because if there’s one thing we all need in our life it’s a great picture-snapper for those important shoots in our lives, amiright? Bonus points if they don’t cost an arm and a leg! Meet Ms. Kirsten Wiemer of KNW Photography. I met Kirsten several months ago when she took our baby announcement pictures and she’s been my go-to gal for pics ever since. She took our Christmas card pictures below and we absolutely loved them. If you live in the Bay area, you definitely need to hire this gal for your next family photo session or other photo shoot. She’s talented, fun to work with, and I can almost guarantee you won’t find a photog with better rates than this girl. Thank you Kirsten for these lovely holiday pics of husband and I! Turns out we love you…
It’s Christmas Eve!
Wishing you a very happy Christmas Eve! Wore this festive frock to church last Sunday and then to the Oakland Temple. I couldn’t resist busting out red, gold, and hints of fur. Woot! We’re on our way into the city to enjoy the San Francisco festivities. Then it’s home to finish WRAPPING! I’m real on top of things this year. And by this year I mean every year. Hope you have a wonderful day!

Party Attire
I gotta be honest guys – I kind of hate even talking about New Year’s Eve at this point in December… mostly because I am secretly so sad that Christmas isn’t a two or three-month long holiday (I vote that it should be!), and talking about what to wear to NYE parties makes me feel like it’s over before it’s even gotten here yet! Alas, I must admit that I’ve already been thinking about it. To me, party attire is all about mixing a little glitz with a little glam and then owning it like a rock star. I mean, at what other time in the year can you shamelessly get away with wearing more than the usual dose of sparkly, sequined garb? It’s part of what makes us all love NYE, right? Add a touch of fur in there and a strong red lip, and you’ve got a glamorous…
25 Weeks
25 weeks along and this belly just keeps on growin’. It’s gotten to where a day doesn’t go by that someone doesn’t ask me if I’m due in December or if I’m having twins. Awwwwwwwesome. Remember how I’m sort of past the point of caring though guys? Like what’s a girl gonna do about it anyway? 1-2-3 I’m over it. Took these pics on the beach in Carmel, where husband and I celebrated our anniversary along with my sister and her husband a couple weekends ago (we share an anniversary date with them). Ohhhh to still be there. Our actual anniversary is tomorrow! Three years people! Crazy town. We’re probs gonna keep things pretty low key since we technically already celebrated and it’s the middle of the week, but going to a nice dinner is at least in order. Right? p.s. Don’t forget to vote for my look in the…
