Christmas Highlights

My sister and I decided not to meet the parents in Sun Valley because it was just too much traveling for a two day trip (plus I did not want to be stuck in Salt Lake City for my first legal New Year's Eve!).

Dress from Gap (perfect for New Year's Eve!)

Boden Dalmatian ballet flats:



Beach bag from my mom (though I'm pretty sure it's a diaper bag)

She also got me a

Happy Holidays!

I'm taking a little break from blogging (until New Year's). Mostly because I'm going to be out of town (Sacramento and then Sun Valley) plus it's hard to share the computer with my sisters!


Happy holidays everyone!

(best present? Justin doing "Dick in a Box" on SNL)

Marc Jacobs on Gossip Girl

I REALLY want both of these Marc by Marc Jacobs dresses! I like the second one better in the greenish color that Blair wore but think the black is cute too. I'm hoping they will be on sale at Bloomingdale's after Christmas.

Justin Timberlake - Ellen ( gingerbread man)

Winter Break!

3. Going to at least 2 movies per week


4. Sleepover with the little girls I babysat for (I miss them!)


5. Eating a lot of Pinkberry


6. Going to a taping of Ellen
(See favorite clip in post above)

7. After Christmas shopping!


8. Packing for AUSTRALIA (SO EXCITING!)


9. Spending quality couch time with my dog (she's 11 now)


10. Just being home with my best friends and family!

Seeing Polka Dots

LOVE these shirts from J.Crew and Boden!

7 Things

I've now been tagged twice so here goes:

1. my first concert was the Spice Girls
2. I have this weird phobia/ocd thing with hair (ie- I have to dust buster my bathroom floor like everyday, remove it from peoples' clothing if they are near me/I'm talking to them)
3. I went through a phase where I pretty much only wore Paul Frank t-shirts
4. My parents gave me chocolate milk as an incentive to giving up bottles when i was 2 and I've had to drink a glass every day since (even when i was in england i had my mom send me ovaltine)
5. After I got my braces off, I couldn't whistle anymore
6. I really want to be a celebrity nanny after I graduate
7. I used to be able to do the butterfly

I heart Target

Here's what I got at Target yesterday

Heather Featherston Heart Pocket Pants:


Heather Featherston Heart Thermal:


My pink Ralph Lauren ones are already getting dirty so bought a new (cheaper) pair in brown:


If I didn't already have 2 pairs of rain boots:

Houndstooth

ADORABLE skirt from J.Crew (just bought this for Christmas!)


Pink headband


My sister just bought this cute bag from Banana Republic (on SALE!)


Flats from J.Crew (on SALE!)


Flats from Revolve Clothing

Turkey Day

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! Here's my turkey day secret: I am more excited for shopping tomorrow morning than the actual Thanksgiving dinner.

I'm definitely hitting up:
Bloomingdales
J.Crew
Madewell (offshoot of J.Crew)
Cusp
and probably a few other stores since I live walking distance to a great shopping center!

PS-I'm going to fix my layout when I get back to DC next week. It really needs some good customizing!

Anchors Away!

I have this Voom dress in pink


Target Anchor Rainboots (I have these too)


This sweater from Bluefly is on my Christmas list



If only I could spend $3000 (!!) on this necklace from Barney's


I have a pair of TOMS in pink so for my next pair I'm getting these. So comfortable and when you buy a pair TOMS donates a pair to a child in need


For the boyfriends/husbands/fathers/brothers


Cute shorts from Kitson


Juicy Couture anchor bag

I heart Jack Wills

The summer I was in Cambridge, I visited this little store weekly. I still have the two polos (one pink, one red) and cardigan I bought there. An added bonus: some of the polos say "Wills" on the back so you can show your love for Prince William at the same time (ETA: I know that the Wills does not actually stand for Price William!) . The website doesn't have as much but thought I'd share some of my current favorite items.
