Christmas Wish List

Hello everyone!
Wow, it's sure getting cold out, and I must confess,  I have already started listening to my Pandora Christmas stations I can't wait till Christmas!
I remember when I was a kid, I couldn't wait until Christmas morning to rip open my Christmas presents and eat German pancakes for breakfast, subsequent to several handfuls of chocolate I found in my stocking, of course.
But now that I am older, it's the Christmas spirit that get me excited, as cliche as it may sound. You know, the lights on every roof and in every town square, Christmas carols blasting in department stores and on the radio, nativity scenes displayed in front of churches and homes, Christmas cards and packages arriving on my doorstep, snowflakes decorating the sky like glitter from heaven. I love it ALL.
But still, there's a part of me that also loves to receive gifts. Even though 99% of the time, I'm the one who buys them for myself. Throughout the year. Like that wristwatch I bought myself on Sunday. And the eight books I bought last week.
Anyway whether it's a shopping list or suggestions for the generous souls in my life or recommendations for you guys's lists, here are some things I want:

$19.99, Kohls

$19.99, Kohls

$9.99, From comejew on Etsy

$49.99, From ModCloth

$32.99, From Modcloth

$35.99, ABADAY

$34.92, Amazon

So that's it! What are you wishing for this year? To visit any of the items on their respective sites, click their image.

Merry Christmas!

What's new?

Well, I don't know about you, but a lot has been going on in my life recently! I recently had some grafting done in my mouth. Not trying tobsound too graphic here, but for those of you who don't know what that is, it's when a periodontist (gum specialist) cuts skin from the roof of one's mouth and sews it to the gums. I had this done because I had a bacterial infection that ate away at my gums.

So naturally, I've been eating a lot of this:

And a lot of these. 

Also, I impulse bought some new nail polish that I loooove! 

The color is called Cinderella.

Another impulse buy:

85% is the bomb.

I'm looking forward to vacationing in Wisconsin next month, too! I could use a break from life! 

What's new with all of you?

How to Maximize Your Wardrobe

Hey there!
Today I am going to show you all how to make the most out of your wardrobe. The key is to have a variety of both tops and bottoms, in divergent styles and colors (this trick works best when each shirt matches each pair of pants).

See above? There may only be 12 articles of clothing shown, but there's 36 potential outfits. For example:
a/g,  a/h,  a/i....  b/g,  b/h, b/i... and so on and so forth.

But, the important thing to see is that say, you only have three pairs of pants. By eliminating only three articles, you cut your outfit potential in half (it's 18 now)!

So, if you do the math, if someone has 20 shirts and 20 pairs of pants (or skirts!), they have 400 potential outfits! That means they could wear a different outfit each day of the year, and well into the next year as well!

Although this is great, and I totally understand owning a ton of clothes (guilty!), remember there are people in the world who don't even have any clothes to wear. If you have extra clothes you don't wear often, clothes that don't fit you, or clothes you don't need, consider donating them to a charity that can distribute them to those in need. You'd be surprise at how a simple shirt or pair of pants can change someone's life!

Stylish: Colorful Pants and Shorts

Lately I've been digging colorful shorts and capris and jeans. Such as these in beach glass

These also are quite fine in gray cobblestone and egret. Yeah, I do a lot of {window} shopping at Kohls.....

I think these Levis are adorable in geranium red!

So there you have it, a glimpse of my wishlist that will probably never come true... oh well; life will go on!

What styles are you into?
