It’s been hectic this week; I haven’t had the chance to update my Facebook status these past few days, lol. I hope all of you had a great Christmas (if you celebrate it) and it looks like New Year’s Eve is going to be nuts.
In the past week, I’ve been to four dinner parties, battled crazy people at the mall, hosted a sleepover, danced my ass off in Dance Central 3, and had an epic last kill in a game of Call of Duty: Black Ops II’s One in the Chamber.
So I am posting a bunch of photos for you all to ogle at. Here are most of the gifts I’ve received for Christmas this year. The only person who had more gifts was Jackson. :P
Victoria Secret set from my aunt Amerfy
Cosmetics from Peter: (L to R) Anastasia Highlighter in Aspen (the best highlighter ever!), Make Up Forever’s Rouge Intense Lipstick in 37 and 42, Bobbi Brown’s BB Cream in Medium, and Anastasia Brow Pencil in Dark Brown (it comes with a great brow brush and the pencil sets to a powder after application). Not shown: Anastasia Clear Brow Gel (keeps brows looking neat and groomed).
Forget NAKED from Urban Decay, I go for the color and the wicked punch from the Vice palette of UD.
Great color selection of both mattes, satins, and shimmers.
Urban Decay Vice Palette
Couldn’t help myself. I really like the darker shades.
All of the cosmetics.
Michael Kors Jet Set tote handbag and matching continental wallet. The styles are very structured and the leather is easy to maintain.
My first pair of Christian Louboutins. These were a total surprise. We were just walking around in Neiman Marcus and Peter just said yes!
The Dugueclina booties have a suede upper and inner lining, insole, and outsole are all leather. They are truly a product of great craftsmanship.
The infamous red sole.
Size 35.5 (5.5)
The booties are quite secure and stable (although I’ve got over ten years of high heels experience) and they only took an hour to break into. I look forward to the next 20 years with these since they are handmade to last. Hoping to get a pair of Louboutin Daffodiles next year!
I am very content and grateful to have received so many holiday gifts. :D
And here is just me being a camwhore. :P
Typical Christmas photo of me hugging a tree
Gold bows!
Looking fresh faced :D
I honestly don’t even remember posing like this, lol.
Showing off the big guns even though I haven’t worked out in two years. Peter said pose, so pose I did.
My mom recently had her 66th birthday and of all the years I’ve known my mom, she has never celebrated her birthday until this year. We all went out to eat two days ago and I’ll be posting the photos later tonight or tomorrow. I hope you’re all enjoying your Christmas gifts!
Have a happy and safe holiday, everyone, and have a happy new year!
I got new glasses today and I even got a ride home from Snow who works at the optical. I’ve known her since I was 12 and time does fly. I had been waiting to pick up my glasses all week so I’m glad I got there four minutes until close. :D My frames were from Christian Dior which costed about $300. I got the super thin lenses with anti-glare so I wouldn’t have to deal with heavier glasses anymore that reflected all too much. My lenses went for about $179. Here are the black acetate Dior frames:
They are extremely light and thin, a huge contrast to my retiring Gucci frames. I noticed that I like black acetate. I don’t like metal frames at all and I HATE nose pads. Gold hardware has also called out to me throughout the years with an exception for with my mahogany Armani frames. The gold hardware will probably be more durable and I like how thin the frames. It reminds me of a tv these days where it seems like it’s floating because the bezels are thinner. The Diors have a very thin bezel and it really opens up the space and creates a more feminine look. I like thick frames but sometimes, they are be too harsh.
Me in my new everyday glasses!
And I decided to get sunglasses as well. I like sunglasses but I’m extremely picky with designs. I’m not really a person who just chooses something for the brand but I will identify with the consistency of style a brand creates. For example, I love Gucci eyewear because of the thick sides and the gold hardware. The nose pads or lack of nose pads are super comfy with my face structure. These will be my second designer pair of sunglasses. My first and super favorites are the Versace with the Swarovski crystal lattice design. These are from Gucci, my second piece of eyewear from them, and I really like the unique design. It has a dark, mahogany front that is transparent and the inner sides are a metallic silver color. The Gucci logo is of gold hardware and is set with crystals as well in a prong setting. The side of the sunglasses are cut out and you can see how thin the lenses are. A pretty nice pair of sunglasses I can say. They were priced at $260.
The lenses have a very nice ombre effect to them.
These could become my new favorites and I’m glad they’re much lighter and less trendy than the Versace Jackie-O-esque ones.
Here are my old Gucci frames. They are going back into their box and peace and love to them. They have served me well, lol.
The lenses are a lot thicker so I’m glad I paid extra to keep them thin and trim.
How did I get all these boxes!!!
I also got a year’s supply of contact lenses but there is no point blogging about them.
