Wishing you a very Merry Classy Christmas...

I'm currently in Alaska spending time with the fam (as I sit here watching them play Rockband 3).. It's cold outside and all I want to do is find a fireplace somewhere and stick my toes next to it.. We woke up late today and headed downstairs to find our stockings filled and Christmas tree bursting with presents.. I couldn't wait for everyone to open up the ones I got them!! I could barely sleep the night before!! A better Christmas post with pictures later of my Alaskan adventure, but for now... Merry Christmas everyone!! I hope you're toasty and spending time with those you love!!!

May you never be without a pair of red hot Stuart Weitzman's for the holiday season...

Product of the 80's...

I'm a product of the 80's and grew up watching Fraggle Rock, He-Man/She-Ra, My Little Pony, and Care Bears.. The other day I was shopping for Christmas presents for my little sister and I was looking for Princess dolls, i.e. Cinderella, Snow White. I was searching and searching for Sleeping Beauty because I already got her the main ones, so now I'm basically trying to complete her collection... Thing is, I could not find Sleeping Beauty.. I think they just flat out didn't have it.. Now there are all these new dolls like Tiana and I'm like ummm, I haven't seen those cartoons yet.. Am I out of the loop on Disney characters?! Have the old ones been replaced with these fancier HD quality princesses?! WHERE IS THE SLEEPING BEAUTY DOLL?! In the end I made a purchase on Belle from Beauty and the Beast, staying true to my Disney upbringing.. Not that I don't like these new characters, they're just not the ones I grew up with.. The 80's rocked with Saturday morning cartoons, side ponytails, and Glow Worms.. My little sister will continue to receive presents from me that represent part of my own childhood..

Here's to the old school boom boxes that filled our ears with Michael Jackson and Bananarama.. (Picture snapped in Pacific Beach.. I love that area even more now..)


...fashion may evolve constantly, our music change in taste, but memories live on forever..

Officially December!!!

I love being able to put on a jacket and layer clothes because I get to have fun with the different pieces I have in my closet.. I didn't always have this opportunity living in Hawaii because less was always best in 80 degree weather.. The downside.. it's FREEZING to me here in San Diego!! My skin hasn't gotten acclimated to the cold and I'm afraid I'll turn into an icicle! I am happy that it's December because that means Christmas is right around the corner.. And for some reason, December is when winter actually starts for me..

So here's to the beginning of Christmas shopping, winter, and magical beautiful starry nights...
