Ah major slacker

First off, let me tell you HOW sorry I am about not writing another blog post. Ah, I could just die. I got totally out of the blogging mood. "That means you're not a true blogger." Whatever. I don't care. :) So, here I am! Back for your entertainment. I have gotten on blogger and lurked a little bit. I'm so not in the typing mood right now...so this will be short. :/ so sorry. The reason I haven't been blogging. Well, like I said... I got out of it and didn't want to. Every time I would get ready to take pictures something would come up. I had to find an outfit. AND I have to edit the pictures. So, it takes time. But, I am willing to give up my time right now FOR YOU! :) Once I reach 50 followers, I will be having a giveaway! I'm so excited. Which is one of the reasons I got back on here, because YOU CAN'T HAVE A GIVEAWAY IF YOU DON'T BLOG. You can quote me on that. Buuuuut, anyways. I am here now and ready to blog again! 


Oh and while talking about giveaways... GO CHECK OUT http://prettylifeanonymous.blogspot.com/2011/01/this-one-is-about-ruffles-and-collages.html


My mom and friend left today to go somewhere and I got this brilliant idea that I would take pictures real fast. ALL...BY...MYSELF. It's never happened before, but it did today. So, don't judge the way my pictures look because I was in a hurry and missed blogging. 


Alright, so here's what i'm wearing. 
You can never have enough sweaters. Even black ones. The one i'm wearing is a Calvin Klein sweater originally $80, but lucked out in getting it for $15.
Pink tank tops. Gotta love any kind of tank top. They are so simple. I got this one at a cheaper store while I was in a different city. I have a black one too and don't regret getting them at all.
Grey eternity scarf! Yay. Gotta love those from walmart and for $3. Miley Cyrus fashion line at walmart FTW. 
Yeah, for the past two posts i've worn this jean skirt. SORRY!!
Black leg warmers. :) So...nice. And warm.
Shoes! Yes. They are in fact...a late Christmas present from my mom. A VERY late Christmas present. She found it in her closet a few days ago and had forgotten about it. Love her much.

Forever21 Love

My darling brother gave me a fifty dollar gift card for Forever21 for Christmas. & my friend who lives with us. I was super excited because they have some CUTE hair stuff there. I planned on only getting that stuff. Since...their clothes are weird sized and I can sometimes get them to fit and sometimes not. So, I didn't plan on getting clothes. Buuuut, I did. It was lovely. My mom told my friend to let me use her gift card (or some of it) if she couldn't find anything. Wellllll, she couldn't find anything. I felt so SO bad but I got more things. Haha. Anyways, here is what I got. Grey heels, Blue and pink shirt, Poncho, Cow neck sweater, Eyelash curler, and clutch. Hope you New Years was fabulous!

Peppermint winter

Hi fabulous people,
I have a tendency of finding it sad how fast my whole family is growing up. I mean, we used to have a TON of Christmas presents around the tree, and this year it wasn't really that many. Luckily, once the older ones keep getting older, and get married, there will be more kids. Yeah, I really am excited about that. ANYWAYS... this year was preeeetty good. I kind of wish it wouldn't have went so fast though. Funny thing this year... wellllll, every year, my uncle does something mean to me with my present (like two years ago he wrapped it up within like ten boxes and ten packages and ten envelopes, last year he got me shoes and put them in a plastic bag and wrapped it in duct tape) So this year I had a box, wrapped it in duct tape, then had him open it, then inside the box was another box with duct tape also, inside that box was onions and a note that said "Sorry, wrong one. Go to bottom." and then on the very bottom, was duct tape, in a zip lock baggy there was twenty five dollars. This year he just got a big bucket of water with a brick on it, and hoping it would freeze, he put a little thing on the bottom, and I had to get it to. It was reeeeally easy.) Did I mention my handsSTILL smell like onions?! They do. I can't get the smell to go away and i'm not putting them in tomato juice. So, pleeeeease if you have any ideas of how to get rid of the smell, please help me.

Well, anyways, here is what I got... (p.s. please excuse the terrible lighting in the pictures. it was in my computer room, and it stinks terribly.)

First picture - Belt from friend.

Second picture - Notebook from friend.

Third picture - Every scarf I got. From my grandma (all the colorful ones) Then the black, grey, and white one (from my aunt&uncle&cousins)

Fourth picture - Hair clip (there were two of them) from friend.

Not shown - Forever21 gift card (from brother), walmart gift card (from grandparents), Leg warmers and tights (parents), two cardigans (parents), shirt (parents), money (uncle, grandparents), pajamas (parents), lip gloss (parents), sweater (parents), dvds (parents).


I know, my Christmas didn't consist of a lot of things. Buuuut, the forever21 $50 dollar gift card made me happy! ;) i'll have to definitely post pictures of what I get from there. Annnnnd, i'm so sorry this post is so long. If you actually took the time to read this, you've made me extremely happy. Oh, and i'll be leaving for Tennessee tomorrow! :) I'm super excited.  I've going through my clothes like "Oh man, I reeeally need to find something to wear." Cute, but comfortable. It seems like those two can't even go together anymore.

It's about Christmas...

Last night was kind of a boring night and when i'm bored I like to do things. I decided I wanted to wrap presents! I ran downstairs to do so, and then my brother came down eagerly to ask me to wrap two of his presents for mom and dad. I agreed, being the sweet sister I am, and went along with it. I finally finished. 


Today, I was bored again... and my mom mentioned that her presents to everyone needed wrapped. I thought it would be a great time to get un-bored again. I started going downstairs to wrap more presents. There were a lot, but it didn't reeeally look like a bunch so I figured, oh well who cares. There isn't a lot anyways. And continued. (Somehow when I start getting un-bored like wrapping presents half my friends want to talk to me all at the same time. Go figure.) I continued wrapping, and wrapping, annnnd wrapping. Until my feet hurt and I didn't know why. Come to find out, I had been wrapping presents for four hours. Yeah, that explains a lot. Like, why i'm so tired. I'm still not done, and I decided I would take a break so I could get on here and blog about it. You know you're excited. Haha, no just kidding. 


BESIDES THAT... Christmas is coming up reeeally fast. The only person it's not going fast to... is my mom. I don't understand. ha! I did actually wrap my own presents tonight. Yes, really and truly. I promised my mom I wouldn't look inside the box. Annnnd, I didn't. I'm proud of myself. Hahah. 


ANYWAYS, I want to know how your Christmas wrapping/shopping has went. Did you look for things ON SALE? Spend lots of money? Buy small gifts? Share it with me! :)

In the bleak midwinter

This outfit wasn't the best i've ever picked but it's better than nothing right? :) Life has been pretty hectic with Christmas coming up. I can't believe it's next week. It came sort of too fast for me. I think I need an extra week or so.  

It was twenty degrees outside. Lovely. Not. You'll notice the snow in my hair. I'm a spring person. So, when spring comes i'm a happy camper. But who would want Christmas in the spring?! Not me.

I finished signing my families name on the Christmas cards and then today I did some of my own. I sent some Christmas cards to my online friends and they live in different places so hopefully they will get them before Christmas! 

I have 20+ followers. (23 to be exact) & I am so excited! I woooould like at least 30 before the  new year. (hint hint wink wink)
