What I Got For Christmas 2014
Hi lovely reader! Well another Christmas has come and gone. I'm not gonna lie, I'm a bit sad. Christmas was great this year, everyone was healthy, (unlike last year) and everything went smoothly! Every year I do love this time simply because I am nosy and like to see what other people got, maybe you are the same, hopefully you are if you are reading this post. I enjoy seeing what people liked and maybe even discovering new things. Now I feel that it is only right to give a little disclaimer, I am in no way, shape, or form bragging! Everyone has a different Christmas and it shouldn't be about comparing them, your Christmas should be your PERSONAL Christmas and that's that. Also, the main focus of Christmas should not be the gifts. So with that said I will share a bit of my Christmas morning with you!
One of the first presents that I opened were these super soft and cozy Betsey Johnson Pajamas. I love them because they're quite classic looking but then have fun details like the bow on the pocket and the sparkle heart buttons.
Next are these Hunter Boot Socks. I have the black matte Wellington's or Rain Boots so I think the cable knit grey will got perfect. Even though they are rain boots they can be worn in the snow, so the socks will add some extra insulation.
Before I get into the makeup items that I received I would like to take a moment to just say how spot on Sephora's packaging was this year! I received two gifts in these adorable gift boxes with magnetic lids and am in love with the fave that they are reusable. Will definitely be using them to get organized in the new year!
One of my other good friends gave me this cute little holiday nail polish set. I love the shades and variety that the pack includes!
My best friend also gave me this nail polish set by The X Look. The colors are gorgeous and the shade names are Temptation, Impassioned, Red Obsessed, and Thrilling. Also really liked the packaging!
This insane gift set is from Sephora. As soon as I saw it in the October or November add (can't remember which) I called my mom and told her about what a great deal it was and how I really liked it. I said that she didn't have to get me it but if she was able to not to tell me so that I would be surprised for Christmas because I would probably forget about it. Well, I did forget about it was very happy to open this Christmas morning! It is such an unbelievable deal. The only items that are not full sized is the lipstick and mascara. The Nars blush alone is enough to make me swoon but everything in the set is so nice. If they are still available I highly recommend getting it!
Also a sweet little gift from my bestie. She thought I would enjoy the vintage style packaging which I do. I had seen Becca Rose on YouTube talk about this line before and always wanted to try it. It smells amazing (like roses) and is a nice moisturizer.
I have stated before that I am a fan of the earmuff trend so I was overjoyed to receive these gorgeous earmuff earrings from my cousin.
A nice staple piece, this black Fossil wristlet was much needed! I had been carried one around that was cheaply made and had a zipper that did not work. It is a nice size and has a spot for your phone as well as money and cards.
Finally my bestie gave me this journal/book. I personally love things like this and enjoy being able to look back and remember things. Each page is different and you fill out a page a day for a year. I will be starting it this week and am quite excited!
So thus concludes another great Christmas! I am extremely blessed and grateful for all the people and things in my life. I am also extremely grateful and thankful for all you lovely readers, you continue to grow in number and I cannot tell you how excited and happy that makes me. So thank you for taking the time to read what I have to say and look at my pictures, it truly means a lot to me. I am amazed with how well the blog is doing and can't imagine what the next year could bring!
What did you get for Christmas? Xx

Christmas Party OOTD | Blogmas
Hey lovely reader! Yesterday was our annual Christmas party with my Dad's side of the family. It was a great success and filled with laughter, food, and festivities. I wanted to share what I wore with you.
This top is by Topshop, but I got it last year at Nordstrom. It's an off-white cream color and is made from a textured knit fabric.
I also got these pants last year from TJ Maxx. I love them because they are high waisted and made from a thick, super stretchy material.
I got these classy little smoking flats from H&M.
What are you wearing to your holiday parties? Xx
