Alphabet Soup - Letter of the day is B

B is for bold.  B is for beautiful.  B is for BE nice to someone today, even if you don't like them.  B is also for bread, which I can't seem to get enough of these days (sorry butt... and thighs).  

Before I begin, I have one question for you all...

What is a good birthday present for my mom?!  Her birthday is next Monday and I can't think of anything.  She is a difficult woman to shop for.  She's one of those people that smile and say, "oh, thanks... I love it", then when you turn around she says, "that's it?"  Can't win with her.  I was thinking about a gift certificate for a massage.  Is that lame?  HELP!!!

Ok and here's some lovely lovelies that begin with B.  P.S. The bags are on my dream list.

Deep in the Trenches

 I don't know what the weather is like in your neck of the woods, but in Washington it's raining.  We're finally getting some sunny days, but there's always a chill in the air.  I need more sun!!!  Well anyhow, the only benefit of our weather is that trench coats are the perfect way of taking that chill off, all the while looking Ah-mazing.  Here's a few of my favorites.  The Burberry one is on my dream list.
