It's been a few weeks since my last throwback outfit, but other things have taken over, oops! I quite like this outfit because it's dressy but still cozy thanks to the super long sweater from J Crew.

Here's one of my new buys from last month - a super soft purple tee by Vince! I got it for $20 at The Outnet, way better than it's retail price of $135. Not sure I would EVER spend that on a tee, even if I had all the money in the world. But it is mighty soft! Decided to go with some more purple for it's first outing. I wore this on a lazy Sunday and to help my mom do some Christmas shopping for my siblings. (Might have thrown in something for myself too, ha ha)

The Red Door provided this service for free in exchange for a review. My opinions have not been influenced by this generous gift.
It has been quite a while since I've gone for a professional manicure and pedicure and this made me remember how much I enjoy them. Normally I paint my own nails and it's not as fun. I have to remove my old polish, try to smooth out my nails, put on the new nail polish and hope I don't smudge them before they dry. It's become such a chore so being able to enjoy having my nails done was a nice change.
The Red Door's Signature Mani/Pedi includes their signature luxurious exfoliation with Olive Oil Salt Scrub and a warm cream reflexology inspired massage with their Signature Luxurious Body Cream. In between each step my legs (and arms) were sprayed with a bit of Red Door's Olive Oil Moisturizing Body Spray. You also get a warm neck pillow to help relax even more.

This was 100x better than any other mani/pedi I've received. Kristin did an amazing job and made sure I was comfortable (and hydrated!) throughout the process. I'm not the best at small talk but she made it very easy. We gabbed about Christmas cookies, meals and other fun stuff. ;)
The final product with Kimono Over and Limited Addiction (they looked so great I had to buy them!) |

Hey there Mr. Snowman! |
I am lucky enough to have friends who work at Disney and one of them had a few extra guest tickets lying around so on Saturday we were able to visit both Animal Kingdom and Epcot! So the only park we didn't visit this trip was Hollywood Studios (which I'm not the biggest fan of anyway.) We headed to Animal Kingdom in the morning to go on Safari and spent the rest of the morning into the afternoon at Epcot. We had lunch in Italy at Via Napoli, so tasty! After lunch we walked through the rest of the countries and on the way out I got some DELICIOUS ice cream from France, we're talking top 3 scoops of ice cream I've ever had.
