Oh That Betty Crocker Never Looked So Hot!

Natori Gala Robe

Smashonistas, how did the holidays treat you?  I know, I know so anticlimactic.  I'm not complaining though, I'm blessed.  Today I found the baby Jesus in our Rosca de Reyes cake.  Some cultures just know how to milk this holiday thing. ahem... Now to debrief. I got to do some of my most favoritist things this holiday season and I got to do them together.  Spend time with my family and cook with drink in hand (thanks Kirk for sharing your central coast yummy wines).  I did it all with style I must say Smashonistas.  What's hot right now in the world of home economics you ask?  Aprons baby.  All kinds of aprons. I whipped out my holiday apron, and all my other cute little aprons I have managed to collect. My first apron was an all white with scalloped lace edges that I bought about 10 years ago, back then it was difficult to land a halfway cute apron kind of like how difficult it is to find an adorable robe these days. Just call me Olivia Crocker.  I also managed to spread the joy of aprons to my two sisters.  I bought them each a darling apron to bake, cook or do whatever they want (now, now settle down boys), from Anthropologie.  Now that I have satisfied my thirst for aprons I move onto robes, formerly known as dressing gowns. What happen to the glamor days?  What happened to those beautiful peignoirs? I love my house and I like to spend a lot of time in it and sometimes I want to feel stylish and sophisticated while doing it.  Is that too much to ask?  Hey you're talking to a girl that has a dressing area with a vanity adjoining my closet albeit however small.  Okay so fine, most of the time I just throw my clothes on my vanity (don't judge me) but it's always there when I want to sit down and untangle my hair and put my face on.  So there you have it Smashonistas for all you aspiring homemakers, and housewives and for those of you that just want like to look good while begrudgingly cooking and picking up after your loved ones, I give you the apron and its counterpart the dressing gown.  Always be stylish.
