In love with SHOES

Within this last week, I accumulated 7 new pairs of shoes. How did that happen?! Well, 4 pairs were gifts, and the other 3 I purchased myself. BUT STILL! It's such a crazy addicted! I don't know what to do about it!

The first two pairs and the last 2 pairs were gifts from either my bf, brother&sis-in-law, or parents. I've been needing to shop for an outfit for NYE since it's JUST AROUND THE CORNER! But I haven't been in much of a clothing shopping mood. I just wanna buy shoes all day. LOL! Is that bad?? OH WELL! TEEHEE!!

Christmas 2010

This Christmas was definitely a good one. I was surrounded by some of the greatest people, my family. It was especially great because my brother and sister-in-law were in town. They had moved to Pennsylvania about 6 months ago, so I didn't think that I would be seeing them for the holidays. Thankfully, they missed being on the west coast and moved back about 2 months ago! Also, my boyfriend came back home from Puerto Rico as well. My holiday was complete!

Hope your Christmas was just as enjoyable as mine. =)

A hectic, but not too bad, day.

Hi loves!

Today was a little bit hectic. I had work today from 11am-4pm, and it was SUPER busy. But not so busy that I was overwhelmed with customers. It was actually JUST right. I did really well with sales today, so I was happy about that. After work, I just came home and dealt with a lot of financial aid stuff for school. That is NEVER fun! But its okay...I think everything is all good now. (hopefully)

On the BRIGHT side, my BOYFRIEND comes  home on THURSDAY for the holidays! I'm so SUPER DUPER excited! I've never mentioned him before in any of my blogs or videos, but, yes...I DO have a boyfriend. We have been together for 4 years now, and just recently he moved to Puerto Rico for nursing school. He's been gone for 5 months, and finally, he'll be coming home to visit. I CANNOT WAIT! JUST ONE MORE DAY! =D My heart skips a beat just thinking about his return. TEEHEE!

Okay enough with that. Onto my outfit of the day. =)

Top: Charlotte Russe
Scarf: H&M
Jeans: Forever 21

Outfit of the day ft. my NEW CAMERA!

So yesterday,  my parents bought my Christmas present! I chose a new camera because I wanted to take better quality photos and i also wanted something that filmed in HD. So my pick was the Canon SX30 IS. I read several reviews on it before we actually purchased it. It got really good reviews. It was exactly what I was looking for. It's still within the PowerShot family, but it still takes photos that are almost as good as a DSLR. I was too excited for it, so I asked them if I could start using it, then re-box it so they can wrap it for Christmas. LOL! I haven't fully figured out its settings yet, but once I do, I will be filming more tutorials and what not. =) But for now, here's an OOTD!

Beanie Crazy

Winter is my absolute FAVORITE time of the year. Not only because of all the amazing holidays, but also because I get to wear super cute clothes! Like jackets and coats and scarves and what not! I have been on hunt for beanies and scarves lately. Recently, Forever 21 had these amazing yellow tag deals where they had beanies for only $3, so I ended up purchasing 3! Oh my..

They are all so cute! I especially like the flower detail on the third one. It makes me very happy.

Black Friday Fashion Haul

Hey everyone! So I did some Black Friday shopping and wanted to share it with all of you! I am not very big on shopping on black friday because I HATE the crowds and LOOONG LINES! Thankfully, though, Foreign Exchange started their black friday sales BEFORE Thanksgiving! They had the BEST DEALS EVER! Buy 1 Get 1 FREE! So I did my pre-black Friday shopping this past Tuesday and Wednesday. LOL! And also, I actually worked today, and since I work in a mall, once I got off, I decided to check out Forever 21. By the time I got off work, the crowds weren't too crazy, so it was manageable.
