Resolution...

We're a few days away from the New Year and as cliche as it may be the obligatory New Year's resolution blog is at hand!!

My New Year's resolution is to take up yoga!! I am going to start with beginners videos at home to learn the poses and then I'll find a great place to take come classes! Yay 2013!!

2012...

Hi pretties...2012 was a big year for yours truly and the three moments that easily made this year one of the best I've had in a while are...

Getting my first big girl, full time, will turn this into a career job. Working for Kohl's has been awesome and I have already learned so much and I can only go up from here!

My first big purchase as an adult! My new job allowed me to afford a brand new & more environmentally friendly car, in white of course! I love this stinkin' car!

Finally, moving out and moving in with the B/F. It was a huge step and one that I felt so nervous about and now it is starting to feel more like home!


2012 was a year of big change for me and to be honest it was exactly what I needed! I have high hopes for 2013, with the realization that if I want something I have to go and get it with hard work and determination. I also have high hopes for all of you that the new year brings with it lots of love & good things!

Christmas 2012...

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!! So far this holiday has been so much fun, spent the evening with the boy's family! Playing with his niece and the rest of the fam! We exchanged one gift last night and we're saving the other for when we're back home at the apartment (weird to say that's home but it's a good kind of weird). I was kind of a brat about ideas for me this year so when he  brought out a big blue Tiffany & Co. box I was very very curious about the contents! Needless to say I didn't wait long to pull that white ribbon and see what was inside!

 

I absolutely love this cute little bow mug and intend on using it as a vase or something, definitely too adorable to drink out of! And the box will be put to good use as well!

 

 

 

 

 

I hope everyone has a magical, warm, and joyful holiday with lots of ambition for the New Year! Until then, I'll be seeing you pretties!

Clutch...

Sick of me yet? GOOD!! I have seen this product in glossies and have always thought to myself, next time I'm at Ulta I am going to get these and try them out. Well after months and months of vowing this, it wasn't until Black Friday of all days I finally bought them. I just kept forgetting because they were never on my priority list of things to get but they just jumped out at my while waiting in line (it happens when you wait for about a half an hour). I am hooked! Every girl needs to keep these in their makeup box/bag/drawer/vanity etc AT ALL TIMES!

The Almay oil-free makeup eraser sticks! I am in love! Perfect to help you clean up a slip of the eyeliner, perfect the cat eye, or erase some smudged lipstick! If you haven't tried these yet- go out to your nearest drug store and get some! 

P.S. there is a wonderful blizzard on it's way down just in time for a white Christmas :) 

Stretch...

Hi pretties- while spending time with some of my favorite glossies (magazines for those of you who don't know) I read that wearing high heels can shorten your Achilles tendon and become very painful over time. Not wearing 4 inch heels doesn't seem to be a very likely solution for yours truly so I've started stretching my tendon while sitting. It really only works when sitting at a short table where you can put your legs straight and the back of your high heel (or stiletto)  on the floor- if you've been wearing the shoes for a few hours you can actually feel the stretch! So word to the closer to heaven wise- make sure to stretch out the Achilles or pay for it (along with the rest of the ailments that high heels can bring) later!!

<case in point>

Dark side redux...

I couldn't get the pictures to post in the previous blog, Dark side... about my new obsession!

Worn as a stain for a night out!

As a flapper on All Hallows Eve! The second my lips hit the straw I feared it was ruined! But I still love it! 

xoxo

Dark Side...

I have a new fav shade that I never intended on loving. I was a flapper for Halloween and felt that I need a dark lip to complete the look but it's growing on me! For Halloween I went super dark but this last weekend I dabbed it on to be more of a stain than lipstick, and it was less maintenance while out for the evening.

My internet is being rude so I'll post more pictures later :(

**See post above**

Novel Idea...

Hi there pretties!! I am looking for a cute sweater to wear for Christmas and I am finding that I really want to wear a novelty sweater (or an ugly sweater if you prefer) because they make me giggle...I love wearing clothes that make me giggle!

Here are a few of my favorite

Urban Outfitters- my favorite!

Urban Outfitters

The cute little grey kitty reminds me of Meowf

romwe.com- so cute with the hearts!

Topshop- it's not very Christmas-y but foxes are having a moment!

Lot78-recently seen on Lauren Conrad! So cute

In order to keep these sweaters looking cute and not cheesy tone down the rest of your outfit- like Lauren, wearing faux leather skinnies/leggings and black heels give the sweater some edge. Or pair with your favorite dark denim and boots for a cozy look! 

xoxo- Merry Christmas! 

Celebrate!!!

We finally have internet at the apartment!! I am so excited I can hardly stand it!

So in honor of this new development...pictures of confetti

Also the holidays!! Cheers to internet and the holidays! :)

Prepare to get sick of me now.

xoxo
