Wishing You a Happy New Year!

This is my last post before the new year.  I'm leaving early to celebrate New Year's Eve in Ohio with my boyfriend.  One of my New Year's resolutions is to keep in touch with old friends better.  Looking forward to a great 2013!!  What is your New Year's resolution?

Happy Holidays Everyone!

It's not quite Christmas yet but my boyfriend and I did our gift exchange early because he had to travel home to Ohio for Christmas with his family. He's so sweet and remembered that I was lusting after the Gabriela Artigas X Sincerely Jules Knot Ring that I sent him a link to a while back.  It came in simple but adorable packaging that I loved and a handwritten message from Jules herself (I believe) which basically said to always follow your dreams.  Even though the message is probably what she writes with every ring, I think it's was an incredibly sweet and true statement and appreciated that she took the time to write it.  It's such simple and delicate ring, making it easy to pair with any outfit.  I like how it's meant to be worn above the knuckle making it a tad bit unique.  Thank you to my super awesome boyfriend for this lovely ring!

If you are interested in purchasing this ring, you can find it here!

Side note, the nail polish I have on in these photos is all Deborah Lippmann.  My pointer finger is called Mermaid's Dream which I recently purchased on Ebay.  It's a beautiful color and the name suits it perfectly.  The rest of my fingers have remnants of Happy Birthday which is pure glitter.  To achieve the look I got, it requires a ton of layers and patience to get the glitter to stay on your fingers.  It's a pain but it looks super fun in the end and I always get a lot of compliments!  Great for the holidays!

If any of you cross me, I'm gonna kick the testicles clean off your bodies! Clean off! You'll look like Ken dolls down there!

Here are some more outfit photos from the summer.. this Shakuhachi dress was an easy and stylish way to stay cool.  During the summer, I basically lived in my Sam Edelman Gigi sandals.  They are a comfortable flat sandal that go great with any outfit.

On a side note, the past two months have gone by in a blur.  I can't believe Christmas is already next week!  For whatever reason, I've been feeling super frazzled lately even though I don't have a ton of Christmas shopping to do or anything.  This strangely warm winter has thrown me off a bit though I'm not complaining because I'd rather it be mild than the freezing cold temperatures I experienced during Hurricane Sandy and having no power.

All wreathes.. no trees.

Sorry for being MIA you guys!  I've been super busy lately with the holidays coming up.  I thought I'd share the new Alexander Wang Marion I grabbed on sale at Barneys.  Wasn't sure if I'd love it when I ordered it online, but now that I have it.. it's pretty awesome.  I've already got this bag in spice and the style is just perfect.. just big enough to carry the essentials rather than lugging around my life as I normally do in my bags.  What do you guys think?
