X-Mas Eve

Couldn't of asked for a better Christmas Eve day. The weather was absolutely perfect. Listened to all sorts of Christmas songs, spent time with loved ones, and enjoyed a great meal.Unfortunately, I was too impatient and I had already opened all my gifts the night before. Nonetheless, it was still...perfect. <3

Crushing on..Pinterest

My new obsession besides using Instagram is Pinterest. If you haven't gone to their site please do so. Tons of pictures and a whole lot of inspiration. It's a nice mix as well that's not just related to fashion. There's do-it-yourself ideas to quotes people love. The best part is you get to save the ones you like and create boards. *WARNING...IT'S ADDICTING!*

These pics are some of my favs at the moment.

Rolling Stones

Since the B.F and I weren't able to celebrate my birthday on Saturday we decided to do it on Sunday. We headed over to Casey's Cupcakes in Laguna Beach, then headed over to the movie theatre (watched "New Year's") and ended the day with dinner at Houston's.  Wish I would've layered on a cardigan...it was a bit too chilly, but the fact that I can still survive with a thin jacket in DECEMBER is quite impressive. We Californians are spoiled.

Celebration

This week has been busy, and in a good way. From my company event, BF's Christmas party and the BIG B-day (I'm sticking with that I'm a young 23 and that's that) it's been a treat. Since my move (3 mos. ago) from The Bay Area, it's now finally starting to feel like "home" down here in the O.C. Love to all my family, friends (new & old), and to the B.F...he is simply Amazing!

Crushing on Jason Wu Pre-Fall 2012

Sounds crazy, but next year's Fall Collections are already hitting the runways and I'm already crushing on certain looks. Jason Wu's Pre-Fall being one of them. Loving the pops of Orange, color blocking and my favorite..the tartan fur trimmed jacket. Already having visuals of what I can pair it back to.

Leopard + Shorts

Love having Sundays off. It's pretty much the only day out of the week that I get to spend the whole day with the B.F. We had brunch, ran errands, drank Gingerbread Latte's and ended the day by watching "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation". Perfect (oh except for the minor clothing malfunction I had with my shorts...accidentally tore off a belt loop, DOH!)

SALE! SALE! SALE!

It's that special time of year again...Christmas Designer SALE! This happens twice a year with most retailers/websites and it always gives me hope that the item(s) I've been drooling over for the last several months could possibly end up being in my closet. Oh the excitement! And if you're brave enough to hold out just a wee bit longer you could score some great stuff at even deeper discounts, but that's at your own risk. Take it now?? or later?? Hmmm..

Here are some of my picks (I'm more of an accessories type of gal).

Bergdorf's Holiday Windows

One day I'll be able to visit New York during the Holiday Season. When that day comes I'm heading straight to Bergdorf Goodman. Each year they crank out these amazing window displays...ones I'm sure look better in person.

This year's theme is called "Carnival of the Animals". To find out more info visit prweb.com.

Sequins & Stripes

I can't turn away a good sequined item or a stripe. I always feel that I need to provide a good home...MY home to be exact for these findings. So, this was what I did on my Sunday outing this week. And now I have some new wardrobe additions. Yay for me!
