Holiday snapshots & Happy New Year!


1. On a whim, my sisters and I purchased these Christmas socks (via Target) for a spontaneous "Summer in December" photo shoot lol
2. We love, LOVE the holidays in our family, therefore my mom goes all out with the decor each year. She has been collecting each element of this Christmas village for years and it's nearly complete:) The figurines above actually skate across the frozen pond!
3. My Christmas getup...full on slouchy, sequined shorts. I've been pining over these
DVF and Gryphon pairs for quite some time, but I'm not too keen on paying hundreds for shorts hehe I found these black pair at Charlotte Russe for $6.50(?!!) during the Black Friday sales woot!:)

Hi, Bloggy Friends!! Happy 1/1/11 & belated happy holidays to you guys! I apologize for neglecting the blog for quite some time now. I'm so grateful for each of the guest bloggers who took time from their busy schedules to help me post while I recover from carpal tunnel. A big thank you to you guys for still dropping by and also, for your get well wishes! I am truly, truly grateful! I'm going to continue resting my hands in the next few weeks, but I will try my best to post at least once a week and also, have a few guest bloggers here and there:) I'm slowly (but surely hehe) replying to comments and I truly apologize for the delay! It's been too long and I have missed you all!

I hope you have enjoyed the holidays and had a wonderful New Year's Eve! Blessings to you and your loved ones as we enter 2011!

Some words of wisdom I received today...

"Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every New Year find you a better man." - Benjamin Franklin

1) I LOVE your sisters socks shot!
2) Those slouchy sequins shorts are TDF! I've gotta check out CR!
3) I didn't realize you have CTS! Me too. I know what a pain [literally] it is! I've been out of work for it for awhile. I do a lot more reading online than commenting now.

Happy New Years Doll!

Oh my gosh. The socks in the middle...I have those! I have those! lol Of course I haven't worn them this Christmas. :P I love the Christmas village stuff! My mom had one before we moved onto the boat. I used to love looking at it and pretending I was one of the villagers. I'm weird, I know. haha

Happy New Year! Glad to see a new post from ya!

I can't believe you got those shorts for less than $7! That is a Christmas Miracle right there!!

Carpal tunnel is the worst...rest that wrist and hope you're feeling better soon.

omg, that sock picture is TOOO cute, I love it. And you have your sisters were blessed with mighty fine legs, I must say- I'm jealous!!!! That christmas village makes me want to cry, my Mom used to always do that growing up, she doesn't really anymore but it was a huge excitment when I was a young girl. And those shorts, I love, even with the brace, you look fabulous!
