Black Friday

Thanksgiving

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  I'm a little bummed that my favorite holiday is over, but am so excited for Christmas, which is a close second.  I loved being able to reflect on all I am blessed with & all that I am thankful for, make sure to check it all out over here!

Also here are some shots of the yummy food I had!

The recipe for this Cinnamon Chip Cheesecake is coming soon!

Friday's Celebrity Outfit of the Week

Taylor Swift in Reem Acra at the Winter Whites Gala in London.

I am in love with this gown, from the silver lacy top to the flowing white bottom it it is just perfection.  It goes so well with the winter white theme, I feel like it is a gown for a Snow Princess.  If anyone has a holiday ball or gala to attend they need to copy this look from head to toe.  I seriously cannot say enough things about how gorgeous it is!

Black Friday & Christmas Wish Lists

I have a confession: Black Friday scares the hell out of me.  You will never find me hitting the stores the day after Thanksgiving, I just cannot handle all that craziness.  Also I don't like playing into all the hype because I feel like it is way over done.  For the past week (specifically yesterday) we have all been bombarded with email & text message ads all about Black Friday, it's insane!  I also cannot believe how many stores open on Thanksgiving, it really kills the holiday.  I'm really much more of a Cyber Monday girl!  Hello shopping in my pjs!

Speaking of Christmas shopping I have been having a blast creating & posting all sorts of Christmas Wish Lists!  I posted a few of them earlier in the week & will keep them coming.  The time to shop for gifts is getting smaller & I'm hoping these lists will help when you're shopping for presents or putting together your own Christmas list.  So far I've done skincare, bath & body, & hair lists, but look for upcoming ones that will feature fashion, beauty, cooking, & crafting present ideas!  What's on your wish list this year?  I love suggestions!

Holiday Lipsticks

The holidays are a fun time to experiment with bright lips.  Red is the most expected color, but a bright pink looks gorgeous, so I recommend trying it out this season!  Here are some of the prettiest shades of both colors:

Top: Stila Color Balm Lipstick in Betsey / Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar Matte in Nylon / M.A.C. Lipstick in Show Orchid 

Bottom: Rimmel London Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick in 001 / NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dragon Girl / Smashbox Be Legendary Lipstick in Infrared Matte
