As I was packing for China, my eye caught a glimpse of my best friend Allie's lovely pile of Christmas gifts to me. (Pictured above.) I began thinking of what a heartfelt person she is and decided that I couldn't NOT dedicate a blog post to her. She is, after all, the person who got me into this whole lifestyle blogging thing to begin with. Her impeccable sense of style has without a doubt influenced mine. I never really had a best gal pal because I always got along with guys MUCH better so Allie is a godsend. Allie, since I probably won't be seeing you before I leave for China and you go back to the 'burg, this is my huge hug to you! Love ya lots. And all of you lovely l&l readers, check out Allie's blog, Alley Cats and Rough Drafts. If you like me, you'll LOVE her.
xo,

Exciting news here at l&l this afternoon! My best frannie Allie just started her own blog. She's literally the cutest thing ever and I can't wait to see what she does with her new blank canvas! Her blog will be documenting her life, which is filled with all sorts of loveliness. (And not just because she has me as a best friend, wink wink!) Do me a favor and make her the happiest girl on the internet by checking out her new journey,
