Hey Everyone,

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! Thank you all very much for your wonderful Holidays wishes! Your kind words mean so much to me!

As I mentioned before Emil and I spent Christmas with his parents and sister, whom I absolutely adore. They are by far the kindest, sweetest and funniest people I know and I love spending time with them. So, Christmas eve and day were an absolute blast! What did you guys do for Christmas?

Emil and I shot these pics at the Getty Center, where I have to admit we've been spending quite a bit of time here lately. I especially like to come here Winter time, because it's a little less crowded then it is during Summer. So, at the moment it's pretty much my favorite place to walk around, grab some lunch and to marvel at the latest exhibition. By the way, I recommend catching the "Florence at the Dawn of Renaissance" exhibition, if you are an art aficionado, you will  not be disappointed. Believe me!

Do you remember that old Alanis Morissette song "Isn't it Ironic", especially that one line about "rain on your Wedding day..."? Ok, so it didn't rain on my Wedding day, but it did rain on my only day off in like 3 weeks. When I woke up and saw the dark & gloomy sky, for some reason it was the first thing that came to mind:) So, in an effort to save the day, I decided to engage in some retail therapy, i.e. finish up my Christmas shopping list. 

Granted, going to an outdoor mall on a rainy day could have been problematic, but Americana at Brand  happens to be one of my favorite shopping places and I was also really excited to see all the Christmas decorations. I am such a kid at heart, I love Christmas trees, garlands and lights and of course good old Christmas music. I am pretty sure I know the words to most Christmas songs! Just ask Emil, I start singing Christmas songs in November, so by late December his head is spinning:) 

Long story short, the day was completely saved and Emil and I ended up having a totally awesome time. So, who cares about bad wether, sometimes all you need to have a good time is great company, a hot cup of coffee and some serious shopping!
