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!)

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)

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
