NYE.

Now that Christmas fever is out of my system I am on to New Years. For most girls New Years is about what to wear. Even though New Years Eve is tomorrow, I have zero plans. But! I do know what I intend to wear...and that's all that matters, Right?

Jackpot.

I am finally returning to blogging after finishing finals and enjoying Christmas festivities. I graduate in May so I am already applying for school. Ah! I am applying for Journalism so I am using this blog as a part of my portfolio. But now to the materialism...all around I had a wonderful Christmas. I find that as you get older, you concentrate less on the gifts you get and more on the gifts you give. That being said, my mother really went all out and gave me what I have been longing after for as long as I can remember, the Chanel S5018 sunglasses. Now, whether they are replica's or not, I cannot say forsure. All I know is I think I am in love.

Received!

Here is my newest Etsy acquisition. I love jewelry that tells a story, or that is claiming to have some magical power. Its not that I fully believe it, but its nice to know there is more to your necklace then just being bought at Forever21 for 4.80. I just received this quartz crystal necklace with gold plating and a long chain and I love it! There are all sorts of stories behind crystal necklaces and I can't wait to dig in and learn about them all. This necklace was purchased at Babetteworld for $39.00 with shipping (to Canada) and she shipped it practically the next day. She makes them all to order, so every single one is unique. Here it is:

Fountain of Youth.

So, the other day while browsing the fashion section of my local bookstore I stumbled upon this wonderful book. Well, its kind of a book. It's hard to explain actually. It was in the fashion section, so I know it wasn't for children. It is a fashion/coloring book. It shows creations from fashion designers and asks you to draw your own creations! It's amazing. Here are some excerpts.

                                       

Pretty Faces.

I don't know about you, but when I pick out a magazine it's not based on the covergirl. Or at least, not consciously. I have my certain favorites, that I buy regardless of the person on the cover. Little did I know, choosing a covergirl is a big business. Today, I stumbled upon these figures. Just by putting Jennifest Aniston on Harpers Bazaar business went up 22%, the most in 7 years! Here are some of the other figures i found, apparently putting Halle Berry on the cover is not a wise business choice! What do you think?

Jennifer Aniston - Harpers Bazaar (255,000 copies, up 22%)
Jennifer Lopez - Glamour (624,000 copies, up 1%)
Julia Roberts - Elle (390,000 copies, down 10%)
Hilary Swank - InStyle (800,000 copies, down 6%)
Halle Berry - Vogue (540,000, down 5.5%)

Lavin.

I know this is old news, but today was the first time that I laid eyes on the Lavin for H&M collection. I usually have mixed emotions about H&M designer collections but I really think that Lavin hit it out of the park. Here are my favorites from the collection! What do you think?

               

               

   

                

                  

                   

               

             

 

                

pretty protection.

Clearly, my laptop is very important to me. I use to to online shop, blog, all that fun stuff. For the past few months I have been carrying my laptop in a pillow case. After one too many laughs, I invested in a laptop case. While I was searching for one, it came to my attention how many lovely cases you can get to protect your technology. Here are some of my favorites:
