A peak at Crash & Burn Apparel! // My new olive parka!

I know I gave a bit into a sneak peak of one of the items I received from Crash & Burn Apparel, but I figured I'd show off everything! MUCH love to everyone at Crash & Burn for sending these to me. I love them SO much! I can't wait to take more photos in these clothes!!


I LOVE my this skeleton Marie Antoinette top!


It says "LIVE FAST, DIE PRETTY" on it, and even has little gem embellishments!!


This top is awesome, too! I love the faded wash on it.



Okay okay, I bought into the olive parka trend. I'd been wanting one forever!! Got this on sale at JC Penny for like $10. Isn't that a steal?!

The detailing on the sweater is just FABULOUS!




These trees are pretty.

Gifts from Romwe & new Jeffrey Campbell litas! // Thank you for 200 followers!!

I always love coming home to a bunch of packages!


I love this dress from Romwe!


I wasn't sure at first if I was going to like this shirt, but when I tried it on, I was in love!


I love the little bead details!


In love with this ring! I've been wanting a deer head ring for awhile.


Last, but DEFINITELY not least, my new litas! At first I had purchased a black leather pair from Urban Outfitters and had a REALLY bad experience (Never buying shoes from THEM again!) but bought these ones I'd originally been wanting in black velvet from the always awesome Shop Nasty Gal!
I wore these shoes out last night, and am going to wear them again, tonight, for new years. Love them!

Also, I would like to thank everyone following this blog, as it reached 200 followers yesterday! Thank you so much, everyone!!

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays, everyone! And Merry Christmas, if you happen to celebrate it! Today is Christmas where I am, and I spent it with my mom, dad, and boyfriend!

Since this is a fashion blog and basically everything I received is related, I figured I would show off the lovely things I was given! This first one is of a Juicy Couture perfume and lotion set my mom got me, it's called "Couture Couture" and it smells so nice! Juicy makes really nice perfumes--I wish I had a larger perfume collection!


My mom knows me all too well. Juicy, and now some Betsey Johnson! Travel bags! I actually end up traveling quite a lot, so these will come in useful! (I wonder how my boyfriend will feel if I give him the black one for his toiletries since he doesn't have one? Haha, at least it's not super girly!)


Victoria's Secret, too! Almost all of some of my favourite brands, so far! I've been wearing Love Spell since 9th grade which is quite a few years, so this makes me super happy! Victoria's secret recently diss-countinued ALL of their perfumes, though. So bummed out, but happy I have a bunch of them stocked up.


This was actually the one thing I asked for for Christmas! A mint fanny pack from Urban Outfitters! (Looks just like my brown one from Shop Lately, only it was more expensive)


This stone necklace and the twisted feather bracelet are a perfect match for this fanny pack!!


I'm actually a pretty boring person and always wear the same makeup everyday no matter what, so this will be fun to try! (And incase you're wondering, yes, that's a framed Night of the Living Dead poster on our wall.)


My boyfriend got me this wallet by MNG by MANGO, since mine has been falling apart! He's so sweet!


Who says socks are a bad Christmas gift?! Especially when they're angora!!


Some cute bracelets by MNG by MANGO!


I don't generally like Aeroposatle, but the year they were established along with their initials is my initial, and my birthyear, so my mom got it for me as well--I love that it's dog tags, I've been wanting some. And the peace symbol bracelet is too cute!


Of course, at least one joke gift. Everyone in my family says I am obsessed with pepper. I put it on nearly everything. Now I have my own so that I don't keep stealing the one from the kitchen!!


I'm very thankful to have received such lovely things, and feel very lucky to have the life that I have. Most of all, I'm thankful for my family and that I got to be with them this year, as I haven't had a family Christmas in some time.

I hope everyone who celebrates Christmas had a lovely one, and that whatever you celebrate, if anything, that you're having a wonderful winter season!!

(Also, if anyone else has some presents to show off, I'd love to see the lovely gifts everyone else received!)


~peace on earth~

PS: Stay tuned to my blog at midnight tonight for special details on a new contest I'll be releasing!!
