I dearly wish that I could wake up tomorrow morning and find this as the view outside my window. Nothing reminds me of home at Christmastime like deep green fir trees dusted in powdered sugar snow--and there's nowhere I'd like to be so much tomorrow as home. This is the fourth year in a row I've spent the holidays on the opposite side of the country! And try as I might, it's never really, truly felt like Christmas in all those years.
But ok ok, I'll spare you my sob story and instead wish you all a Happy Christmas, Joyeux Noël, God jul and all that! And if you happen to be home for the holidays, enjoy it all the more for my sake??

Here's hoping that when I wake up, my throat isn't sore anymore, my nose isn't sniffly, and all this stuff is stowed away safely in my closet. (Actually, while we're at it, can I add "a closet" to this wishlist??)
P.S. You can click the sets to see where it's all from...if you really wanna know ;n )
I took the new bag out for a test run yesterday. Verdict: a bit smaller than I'm used to, but a copy of New York Magazine fits perfectly into the back pocket.
This blouse has the prettiest lacy detailing around the neck that's so hard to photograph with my poor little Coolpix, but this shot gives a bit of a better idea.
As mentioned previously, I set out this day determined to find party shoes, and what did I come home with instead? A beat up old Mickey Mouse sweatshirt and an enormous golden yellow men's cashmere sweater. Such a combination of win/fail truly boggles the mind.
Ooooh, I thought I was being so sneaky when I dug this shirt out of my boyfriend's dresser this morning. He never even wears it! And what's it doing all balled up in this drawer and not hanging up with the rest of his button-ups?? Clearly, it was absolutely begging to be rescued. And by rescued, I mean blatantly, shamelessly stolen.
Turns out, this beaut actually belongs to his lovely lady housemate Amy. Hey, these things happen when five people spend the summer living together in a dark, cozy basement apartment. I'll be returning the shirt tomorrow, but what a day we had! Anyways, it's ok. I got my favorite boots fixed AND they've stopped giving me blisters. And besides, Alex has got a whole closet full of other shirts just waiting to be, er...rescued.
Bona Drag is having a totally sweet sale right now! If I wasn't saving my increasingly modest stash of pennies for thrifting back home, I'd be even MORE tempted by this (in poppy brick, please!)
