At last!

I'm rocking some SERIOUS bangs and guess what -- I LOOOOOOOOOOVE THEM!

My super amazing girls weekend in D.C. included a much-needed trip to my favorite salon -- one80. If you're local, go there and ask for Remi. You won't be sorry!

Trip details to come (including our million viewings of a certain movie - WHICH WE LOVED!).

Lately...

Dear Blog,

I miss you! Remember when we hung out almost DAILY?! We talked about parties, hot husband, food, fashion, bad fashion (for shame, American Idol), the Metro and anything else that tickled our fancy? Awwww....those were the days.

But I've been neglecting you. And it's not because I don't care. It's because I've been raking an INSANE amount of leaves.
At least they're my leaves, right?

And unpacking (still).

And producing. Really -- I produced an elementary assembly/rock show for kids. How cool is that? It's very cool -- see for yourself:

(Check out the rocking tracks here. This is definitely nachomamma's assembly music).

Oh and I've been anticipating, counting down and CELEBRATING my impending trip to D.C. to hang out with my favorite women on the planet and this guy:

Life is busy, yet sweet. And I promise we'll hang out again soon. I can't stay away. I miss you too much.

xoxo,
Bec

Wanna know what's REALLY scary?

When you decide to make a homemade costume and realize you have everything you need to be her:

The tats:

The skinny jeans and heels:

The booze and smokes:
The hair (oh, the hair!):

And of course the eyes:

Happy Halloween!

We interrupt the regularly scheduled unpacking with something fun!

I should have been unpacking, but my new kitchen was beckoning! It is INFINITELY more fun to cook in a fabulous kitchen -- I hereby encourage everyone to get one!

Justification for the packing distraction: I have AMAZING new neighbors and co-workers and needed to do something nice.

So I made mini apple pies (by "I" I mean "Chris and I and mostly Chris"). Aren't they adorable?
Download the cute packaging here. (I edited the box to exclude the Valentine's Day sentiment. If you need a copy, e-mail me at heywickstroms@gmail.com).

P.S. I'm BACK!
And with a vengeance.
Watch out world!

The weather is cooling off so why do I suddenly feel warm?

Ba-da-buh-buh-buh, I'm LOOOOOVIN' IT!

The Wickstroms have embarked on a new misadventure: home ownership! We now own this beauty: Now it's time to decorate (uh oh!)!

P.S. Who knew buying a pair of these would be sooooo exciting?

An outfit worthy of an entire post

For two-and-a-half seasons, Mad Men has become one of my must-see-weekly-or-die indulgences. It delivers decadent sets, period-appropriate (and swoon-worthy) clothing, complex characters, intriguing storylines and the sexiest leading man on television. If you're not watching, shame on you. Call me and I'll loan you seasons one and two.

And then there's Joan. She's sexy, curvy, strong, seductive and sooooooo well dressed. I want to be Joan. I want to look like this on a daily basis:
or this:
or this:
That's why I saw this dress and immediately knew it had to be mine. From the royal blue wool to the button detail and straighter skirt, it's delicious. And so Joan-inspired, but fresh and current.
Yummy! Buy yours here.
