End of the semester

Hi loves!

Happy December! This month usually means school stress, finals, group projects, and the occasional one or two white hairs. Until I begin my winter break on Dec 15, I will be updating my blog far less than usual but the Outfit of the Week will still be kept up to date.

Until then,  feel free to visit my past posts and follow me on Twitter, where I'll be more present for the next couple of weeks.The twitter name is @vintagedanielle

Please wish me lots of luck while I attempt to study and take five finals in two days and I will see you again in a couple of weeks. 

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!
