Thanksgiving

Hello loves

I hope you were able to see and spend quality fun time with your family and friends and the turkey! I loved seeing my little chubby niece, Audrey, 7 months old, and the rest of the family. The food was just delicious, especially my favorite dishes, stuffing with cranberries, green bean casserole, and fruit of the forest pie

This was the first year I went Black Friday shopping and it was an experience. My mom and aunt went along with me to Target and Kohl's for their midnight opening. We went to Target first but didn't get in line until 11:40. The line was so long but thankfully the security guards had waves of people enter in the store so it didn't get too crazy. I saved almost $80 at Target and $90 at Kohl's.

How was your Thanksgiving? Did you brave though Black Friday?

Holiday Party Fashion

I love holiday parties! The food, music, friends, family, laughter, and the of course the clothes! I can't stand seeing someone attend a holiday party in just a pair of jeans and a t-shirt because where's the holiday spirit? Where's the outfit that perfect for the holiday season? I mean if you must wear jeans then wear a nice sweater or a festive blouse, not your grandparents' embarrassing wacky tops, unless that's the party theme.

For Thanksgiving, I tend to wear rustic orange, mustard, brown, green, and the occasional plum.

For Christmas, I wear the always popular red, green, silver, gray, black, and gold.

2011 holiday trends are: vintage glam, sequins, lace, glitter, and plaid. I found some great online shops that carry vintage and vintage inspired clothes. Enjoy! And remember, don't be boring and have fun!

Hot Kiss Skinny Printed Jeans

Hi loves! I am very excited right now! I got my Hot Kiss Clothing Snow Leopard skinny jeans from the giveaway sponsored by Beauty and Budget. The jeans are nice and tight which I'm thrilled about because it seems that all of my older skinny jeans stretch out so quickly. The pattern is fun and printed denim is really in right now. I can't wait to slip them those babies on when I head out to the city for the weekend. Thank you Hot Kiss so much!!!!!

Versace for H&M

Bloggerland is going wild for the new Versace collection coming exclusively to H&M. To be honest I didn't really care; however, I went online to check out the collection on H&M's website and I was actually very pleased. Some of the collection included Stampa: exotic inspired with floral prints, Indian colors, and Asian designs and the other was Pelle Borchie: tough leather and metallic rock. I'm not a fan of all of the pieces but there were a few that definitely that made my heart skip a beat (mostly the fabulous dresses)

Snuggly Sweaters

The upcoming holiday season has me giddy for vintage inspired sweaters. Sweaters take me to the warm fuzzy holiday memories and allows me to hide my bloated belly (from holiday parties, family dinners, and too much eggnog). Although I have a deep love for sweaters, I really only have a couple in my closet; I'm a hypocrite and I am sorry. One day this will change, like when I get a real full time job after college, haha. Until then, I'm quiet comfortable with just pressing my nose against the shops' windows and dreaming.

These snuggly fabulous sweaters are all from the cute-as-a-button online store, ModCloth.

Monday's videos

Happy Monday loves! So this week is going to be CRAZY for me, just lots of projects and a huge exam coming up. I'm starting to feel the stress. Last night I dreamt that I was late to everything and then I woke up to realize it was only a dream and when I looked at the clock, I was late again. Then I woke up! I had a dream about dreaming I late and waking up late. So, now I'm paranoid about being late.  Here are some videos that usually calm my nerves and hopefully those who are having just one of those weeks, like me. Enjoy and remember to BREATHE.

What songs help you de-stress? Let me know so I can add them to my playlist!

My shoes wish list

I have a confession: I love shoes and I hate shoe shopping. The scanning for the right shoe, putting on and off your old shoes to try new and potential painful new ones on, dealing with that one employees who has 5 other customers he or she needs to wait on....it's just too much sometimes. I do love looking, dreaming, and wearing shoes. Flats, boots, loafers, and heels are my best friends (after diamonds haha). So here are the latest vintage inspired shoes to make my wish list.
