Find Your Seat Update: I put my DIY skills to work tonight and created fifteen cork place card holders to grace our Valentine’s Dinner table. I just love how these turned out, and even better, they are reusable.

No corkage fee here folks!

In my past posts I have mentioned the Inauguration that I will be attending. Well, the week is upon us and there are a few last minute things that I am taking care of in order to prepare myself for all the events. I have laid out my various outfits for each event. Tweed skirt and black turtleneck for the dedication service, and a black crepe dress with a tan cardi and pearls for the swearing in ceremony. Followed by a champagne floor length tiered ball gown.

Now that the ‘fits are taken care of, on to a little self maintenance in the form of a manicure. There are a million nail polish colors in the world, but I only need one. Thinking about going with a classic pale pink for the Inaugural events. Keep it simple.

Here are a few winter shades that I love:

L'oreal, Goldy Lucks, $4.99 at most drugstores

OPI, Midnight in Moscow, $8

Chanel, Paradoxal, $23
