I’ve been pretty lazy the last week (I’m in a vacation induced haze) so I’m just getting around to this now…sad right? Anyhoo, these were a few of my favorite Christmas gifts this year.

Sweet new kicks
And, of course, it’s New Years Eve tomorrow! I’m heading to the casino with my helpmeet and two friends for a night of gambling and drinks (always a good mix) – what are your exciting plans to usher in 2011?
In other news, I did some Boxing Week shopping and scored BIG TIME! Think leopard print jackets, sparkling skirts, and skinny cut pants at AMAZING prices (and I bought a tiara - it sounds like a weird thing to buy but I actually collect them so it's slightly less odd) – so watch for those in some upcoming outfit posts.
Happy New Year everyone!!!!
