What Santa brought and what I wore

Christmas 2013

It's crazy how fast Christmas has come and gone this year! I swear I feel like it should only be Easter, not Christmas. I hope everyone had an amazing celebration - some of you are probably still celebrating as we speak! I am back to work on Monday myself but enjoying the rest of the long weekend. I received a lot of Christmas money this year, and since I've been on a self-imposed shopping ban since Black Friday, I'm pretty excited to spend it. What to buy, what to buy… In the meantime, just wanted to share a few of the style and beauty products I did receive as well as my Christmas outfit. For a refresher of what was in my suitcase, click here. I decided to go with the print dress and fur vest. I was inspired when my friend wore a similar look!

Print  shirtdress: Collective Concepts (option, love this print) | Faux fur vest: Express (option) | Belt: Target (option) | Bracelets: JCrew (option), Stella and Dot, Stella and Dot | Tights: Nine West (option) | Booties: Report (option)

December nights in SoCal make for perfect vest wearing weather, and I just can't get enough of this faux fur vest anyway! (Last seen here.) While I am not necessarily excited to get back to work, I'm excited to start working out and ridding some of the calories and fat I feel are hanging around my face, belly, hips, and thighs! Dang!

  1. Santa brought you some great stuff- I am not at all surprised that you were on the nice list this year. :) That colorblock tote is very cute, and now I see that you are fully drinking the Lululemonade because you have THREE things from them, hee hee. Love your fur & sequin slippers, too. Cute & Cozy!

    1. Lululemonade! haha! You crack me up, girl! I definitely can't complain about my gifts! And yes, I squealed with delight opening the slippers! My MIL said she saw them and thought - Oh, *those* are so her.
      Yes, yes I do believe she was correct!

  3. Gosh...I know how you feel...i think i've got more that a "few" extra calories hanging around :(
    I can't wait to see you wear the tote...i'm always on the lookout for totes that don't overwhelm our petite frames. :)

    1. Oh, I know what you mean! Hopefully it doesn't look too big on me, it's definitely a bigger carryall type tote, which would be perfect for travel, but I'm really wanting to use it for everyday as well!

    1. Thank you! The bag ended up being big enough to serve as a laptop bag, which is actually great, because I needed it!
      Thank you so much for hosting and have a great new year!
