Merry Christmas!!!

It's the "most wonderful time of the year". It's the season to be jolly...

...but why am I not in the Christmas spirit?

Each year, I look forward to the 25th of December. I look forward to Christmas more than my birthday (well, not really). It's the atmosphere, the Xmas carol, the parties/events, the togetherness, the lights and decors- everything!

It's all different this year. I don't feel like it's Christmas- maybe it's because it'll be my first time EVER working on Christmas day, or because some of my siblings won't be home...I don't know. 

We have a Christmas tradition each year (like most families) where we all gather around the living room, share past stories, open up gifts, and win bonus gifts- if you're able to tell which wrapped gifts are yours. All of that.

Hope you all have a beautiful Christmas celebration.

Happy Holidays.

Leftover Cravings

Whether it be from the beginning of the year, mid-year, or currently, there are some cravings I'm yet to fulfill. 

These leftover cravings have thus become my Christmas wishlist, and I thought to share them, perhaps I'd get lucky. Hehe.

• My love for sandals make me crave these Tom Ford patchwork leather cage sandal even more. I love the many variations in color, but this brown/rust and maroon tops it for me. I also love the leather and velvet mix. But of course, it's sold out everywhere! *I wear a US size 9 if you find em ;)*

• When the Apple watch came out, I wasn't a fan [don't ask me why], but after seeing a few coworkers with it, I can't even begin to tell you how convenient it'll be to use, especially with a job like mine.

• Ohh dear Wrangler! If you know me, then you know what the craze is. I've always liked Jeep. This Wrangler is the sexiest car ever, and I often tell folks, if you were to put a Benz  and a Wrangler in front of me and ask me to take whichever one I wanted, I'd go with the Wrangler! The love is deeply rooted and I can't explain further. I'll take the 2015 Wrangler in black or white.

• I'm not too big on pumps, but if I have to wear one, they'll to be pointy-toed. After getting the So Kate (in nude) from Neiman Marcus earlier this year, I knew I wouldn't rock it much because those shoes are uncomfortable, especially since I have very weird feet. The 39.5 is somewhat tight on me, but the size 40 is too loose. Tsk! I do want these black Pigalle Plato 120mm however.

• Lastly, the Louis Vuitton Neverfull in GM is a must have for me. I'm not a big fan of LV, or bags that have their logo all over them, but this LV tote in Damier Ebene print is fab! I love the structure and size of it. It'll make a great travel bag.

What's on your Christmas list?

Compliments of the Season!

Christ is the reason for the season...

Merry Christmas!!!

Be merry! Enjoy your time with family and loved ones during this celebration.

Happy holidays.

TRIPOD. Yay!!

One of the many things on my Christmas wishlist was a tripod, which I got for Christmas and was given to me by my lil sis.

Honestly, she couldn't have gotten a better gift...this is something I **greatly** needed (next to a DSLR). One of her reasons for granting my wish was so that I can stop bothering her to take my photos *lawwl* 

Makes sense.

So on to the next chapter of picture taking...

I'm not sure how to go about it...well I know how it works and how to make use of it..I'll just find it awkward running back and forth between poses to set timers and take pics; with onlookers/passersby minding my business. I'll get used to all of  this, eventually.

On a second note, school starts tomorrow. Yay I need one more week!

Needless to say, I'm happy on the other hand because I know I'm one step closer to getting my degree and accomplishing my goals.

A lot will be on my plate this semester, so don't expect traffic posts, but do stop by from time to time. I'll post whenever I find the time to. Bear with me.

Until then folks.

Have a great first week (if you start back school tomorrow).

Seasons Greetings

Over the week(end), I attended a couple of the many Christmas parties that was held in my city, Chicago. I had some cool cool fun, esp since I know I won't be partying for a while...I need to get school work sorted out (like doing my FAFSA!)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Turtle neck sweater: gift, Skirt + Bag: F21, Shoe: Mall, Jewelries: C.Russe, Tights: Express

My new favorite bag is this bag I got from F21 last year. I put it away after carrying it twice and forgot all about it. It suddenly resurfaced and I'm in love all over again.

This was the outfit I put together for church for Christmas day service. I paired the turtle neck I once hated with a very comfortable skirt. And of course for the cold, I had to wear tights with it.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a gracious new year.

Enjoy the last days of the year 2012. 

I hope to be a better person in 2013 and accomplish a whole lot through the grace of God.

Oh, I did box braids for the first time. I guess that puts me in business ;)
