Bye Bye Christmas

Well Christmas has officially come and GONE and I can't tell you how sad that makes me.  I must admit though, this was probably the best one yet!!  There is so much I want to share with you all and yet so much I can't share as I left my purse in DC at my friend's surprise birthday party Friday night! :(  This purse of course contained my cell phone, entire contents of my make-up, ID and debit card.  Oh and of course they were going to be closed until Tuesday after the holidays...FML.

Soo no instagramming Christmas, no tweeting and my amazing boyfriend woke up at 7:00 AM Christmas Eve morning to rough the crowds and get me brand new make-up from Sephora.

That my friends is true LOVE.

But I will share with you bits and pieces of what I'm able to share!

Christmas with amazing friends and ugly sweaters

And this AMAZING gift from Chris!!!!
LOVE.


No that would not be the purse I left at the bar, but my jaw literally dropped when he brought me the box!  I would have been happy with any gift, but he really went above and beyond this year :)

And my friends are reeeeeally good at keeping secrets apparently.

I also received a new 50mm lens for my camera, a tripod and an amazing photoshop program by Adobe so I'm super excited to show off my new pictures!  That is once I finally get back to cooking.  I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!  Looking forward to rocking my sparkling dress this weekend and celebrating the New Year!  And lemme tell you...I sure have a LOT of new years resolutions.

I am also sad Christmas is over. It's not even the holiday itself, but no more Christmas music, decorations, or the all-around holiday cheer :(

I am sad that Christmas is over as well. I love seeing family and friends that I pretty much only see over this holiday. But New Years is still to come so the winter festivities are not quite over!

Karm said...

Happy belated Christmas! Funny how we work so hard for the holidays, shopping, decorating, baking and it's all over in a flash! I am already looking forward to next year! So awesome you got a Louis Vuitton Bag, so jealous! I also got a new camera for Christmas with a tri-pod. I hope my pictures will come out more appetizing. I can't wait to see yours! Have a great day!! By the way I love your red dress with the Burberry Scarf!

Christina said...

Good Lord, for my reading pleasure I'm glad you received that 50mm lens too! haha. I have the same purse, but mine is the darker one. Can't remember the fancy name right now. Damier azur? Or is that what yours is called? Bah, bad LV owner!

Christina said...

Damier ebene, that's what I have! hehehe
