Okay so I am dating myself here! I happened to have an awesome 2nd car (my first car was a 1974 Dodge Dart) - a 1984 maroon Nissan 300ZX. I love cars - the shapes, the designs, hitting the gas and really kicking it when no one is around and their sound. Chris and I were talking about cars and the ones we love. It is funny that his first car was a yellow Scout and his current car is his FAVORITE car ever - a yellow FJ cruiser. If I can have him find a picture with his Scout I will post it.

Well I seem to have a current obsession with the little Nissan 370Z. So I was thinking how our first cars (or 2nd cars) have an impact on what we like later in life. My mom had a Blazer when I was getting my permit but I hated it - it was too big. I like driving little cars. I did rent a 370Z when I was out in California not long ago and I loved it. The only problem? My suitcase didn't fit in the trunk! Good thing I was alone - it went in the passenger seat. It is definitely not a practical car. But if Chris has the big SUV I can have the little sports car, right?

And another thing to note about the 370Z - the sound! It has this incredible sound when one drives past you. My Infiniti FX has the same sound. It is like a purr!

Look at how young I am with my 1984 300ZX!


And the new pretty 2012 Nissan 370Z:

The holiday season is always very busy for us - lots of holiday weddings (we were a holiday wedding - our anniversary was December 14th!), family portrait sessions and even some newborn sessions! I will be back to posting again in January but for now I wanted to show a clip from one of my favorite Christmas movies: Elf. I love the scene near Central Park when Zooey Deschanel's character says "the best way to spread Christmas cheer is to sing loud for all the world to hear." This clip has a few other scenes, too:

I love Anthropologie and BHLDN! I can picture myself wearing almost everything they offer - it is all so cute! I love this video that BHLDN is featuring right now on their website:

I need to go look up some of the shoes that were featured!
