...our first gift under the tree and it happens to be for me! I wonder what it is ;)
...I braved the crowds and didn't come away empty-handed. Here are some things worthy of mention.
...mission accomplished: gifts for mom...
...my favorite purchase was this Lacoste + Malandrino stripe top...
...my favorite deals were these Alice + Olivia dresses (extra 30% off!): Robin Striped Bustier Dress & Kristen Web Detail Party Dress...
...and finally, two new Chanel nail polishes for my collection: Graphite and Rose Cache...
...{Personal}...
- Wisco got a J.Crew Factory store and it's less than an hour away! Nick and I will definitely be stopping there on our way home this Sunday. In the meantime, one last shopping trip to the outlets with my mom & aunt.
- I've already purchased 2 dresses (to be revealed soon) and another Pottery Barn Faux-Sheepskin Throw during the post-Thanksgiving sale, but there's always more I
needwant.
- 'Tis that time of year...to collect holiday ideas. I particularly love this glitter ribbon wrapping idea.
- And finally, one of the items I'm making for our office bake sale: Holiday Tree Brownies.
...There are so many things to be thankful for this year, so much so that it would take me far too long to list them all out. I'm a lucky girl - that's all I can say.
Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving!

...My never-ending Christmas list. This year, I'm taking my mom Black Friday shopping. She's never heard of it (shocking, I know - especially, with a daughter that shops as much as I do). I suspect we will come home tired and cranky, but hopefully well rewarded.

3. Juicy Couture Star Shine Sequin Clutch Daydreamer Bag
4. Burberry Gold Plated Bracelet Watch

...a little 'Christmas-gift-to-myself'. I learned my lesson last year when I waited too close to Christmas to get my gift and most everything was sold out, so I decided to make my purchase early. I'll wait until Christmas to make the 'reveal', though. Sorry, it's more exciting that way :)
...I absolutely L-O-V-E this Gucci dress Amy Adams wore to the LACMA Art + Film Gala. I'm a big fan of the blush colored chiffon and gold sparkles combination, so it's no wonder this dress caught my eye - it's just beautiful.
...three Alice + Olivia party-perfect dresses for the holidays. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed. There are so many cute and pretty things available this season that I'm having a hard time deciding on what to get first. Blah, I'll just have to settle for everything at once ;)
...Mila One-Shoulder Dress...
...Cybil Belted Dress...
...High-Neck Lace Dress...
