It's almost 2012 so I figured I would share my favorite outfits from 2011!  It was SO hard to narrow down, but i did my best! You can definitely tell what my favorite pieces are by looking at this and it shows that you really don't have to have new pieces all the time to have different looks. [click photos to enlarge]

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Mine was spent with my family celebrating Christmas!  I always enjoy nice relaxing weekends with family, and when presents are involved it's always better. I wore the same thing both days (except I wore a turtleneck sweater on Christmas day after church).  I took these photos on Christmas Eve though (thanks to my mom and sister for taking a few of these, the others I used the self timer). Sorry about the photo spamming, I couldn't decide which ones to post!

Top: August Silk Mom's, Blazer: LAUREN Ralph Lauren (TJ Maxx) gift, Pants: Elie Tahari via Shopbop gift card, Heels: Miu Miu via eBay, Watch: Michael Kors, Bracelet c/o Maximal Art

And here are some photos of my presents. [The Ralph Lauren bag is available online in other colors, here!]
[I already had Lord of the Rings 1, but only the Extended version so I wanted the regular one too, so now I have all the regular and extended editions (there's different stuff on the regulars, haha, yes...I am a geek)]

Just a quick note to wish everyone who celebrates a Happy and Merry Christmas! I hope you get to spend it with your loved ones! Last night we had Christmas Eve with my dad's side of the family at our house and today it is with my mom's side at my Grandmothers house!

In short, this week was pretty insane. Suffice it to say I didn't have time for outfit pictures, BUT I did take photos of my shoes of the week. I figured this would be a fun change since you don't usually see much of my shoes in the full outfit shots. [I'm even posting what I'm wearing this weekend since I already know what I'm wearing for Christmas and Christmas Eve]  After work today the festivities begin! Well, not exactly, but this weekend will be wonderful. Christmas celebration number 1 is tomorrow with my Dad's side of the family, and number 2 is on Christmas day with my Mom's side! What are your Christmas plans? (or weekend plans if you don't celebrate)

My mom LOVES Christmas, that is probably where I get my Christmas craziness. So the day after Thanksgiving we start decorating the house and the few weeks before Christmas she bakes tons of cookies and other treats! We make candy canes together and as of last year we make French Macarons. Here is a look at SOME of the decorations at our house. This is hardly anything, if I showed you it all we would be here forever.  There are also TONS of trees in our house, 1 large real one, 1 large fake one and then lots of little fake ones...

I was going to post some photos of our house decorated for Christmas today but my Mom and I had to go shopping because I forgot to bring tights home and all I brought to wear to work were dresses...OOPS! Then we watched It's A Wonderful Life so I had no time for photos so I'll take them tonight!

So, here we are with some cute shots of the lovely Emma Watson that were in Seventeen Magazine in August. I figured they were a good choice since she's in green and red! [If you want to know what items she's wearing check out a site I help run (though I haven't had much time for it the past few months...): Dress Like Emma Guide for Seventeen Magazine shoot] :)
