happy thanksgiving!

i'm one of the first people to complain when stores start having christmas items in july. but when this time of year rolls around? i am so effing ready.

i absolutely LOVE the christmas season, and not just because it's an excuse to shop. everything is different. things are decorated. there's sales (duh). and people generally are a bit nicer. i just really love the christmas season and the spirit that comes about with it.

today's thanksgiving, but tomorrow officially marks the countdown until christmas for me. once the turkey's done, it's time to prepare for christmas. i'm trying to be a good girl regarding spending this year and i'm totally analyzing all of my purchases to make sure i don't buy in excess this year. i've mentioned that i do like to pick a few gifts out for myself because really, only you know your own style, not your mom, dad, boyfriend, sister, whoever. i also love little surprises and i cannot wait until christmas morning (which brings about another type of christmas high if you ask me).

oh, and christmas time = cookie baking. 'nuff said.

here are some things i wouldn't mind seeing underneath the tree

potrero hill handbag

found here

i have a seriously bad stud obsession. seriously, need i say more? love the color of this bag.

navy ruffled hamptons jacket

found here

i love the ruffles on this jacket. they're just enough to be cute, but not overly cutesy and childish.

sweetheart bustier dress

found here

THAT COLOR. i'd wear it everywhere. even class. okay, maybe not to class but you get my point. how awesome would this dress look with the below blazer?

sequined pyt blazer

found here

i LOVE me some sequins. this blazer looks basically amazing. heads up, use the promo code "LUCKY1" from lucky mag and score 35% off at fred flare!

breakfast in bed gift basket

found here

i'm not all just about fashion and clothes. i LOVE food (hi, i sound like a fatty) but i really do. especially good food. i love these types of gift baskets, especially when what's in them is worthwhile. 

ella flat sandal

found here

i've been lusting for these since the summer. i love the style of this sandal and i don't think it would go out of style any time soon. the only negative is i probably can't wear them until the spring.

the soft & sexy wrap

found here

ICOULDDOSOMUCHWITHTHISWRAP...yeah, i'm okay.

yoga skirted legging

found here

i've just started to like leggings. this seems like a nice option.

maybe it's me dvds

found here

this show was on for a season and no one seems to remember it but me lolol. but it was a really entertaining show and i literally cannot find it anywhere but one site.

infinite details cardigan

found here

i like the pattern and structure of this cardigan. especially the sleeves.

gathered together dress

found here

i love that color. and i effing love ruffles.

sherpa puffer vest

found here

again, i love the color. i wasn't too sure about puffer vests until i bought the anna sui for target one and fell in love. and i also fell up the stairs that day and it definitely saved my ribs from being bruised. yeah, i'm sort of spaztastic sometimes.

HOPE EVERYONE HAD A SAFE, HEALTHY & HAPPY HOLIDAY!

WHAT ARE YOU MOST EXCITED FOR THIS CHRISTMAS SEASON? DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT UNDER THE TREE?

ps: does anyone know where to find good headbands with the little teeth made in them? i'm probably calling it by the wrong term, but i'm having a total obsession with these things. scunci seems to make the best that i've found so far!
