A Girl Can Dream...12/29/10

I haven't the money for these boots but I want them badly:

They are my kind of boot and would go well with my grey wool coat.

A girl can dream...

Christmas Shoes!!!!

I got these shoes for Christmas:

Pointy heels!!! I have never owned pointy heeled shoes before and I found I cannot walk on carpet well in this type of heel. No matter because as soon as the snow takes a hike (in about three months) I shall be wearing these shoes out and about. Of course, I will give them a trial run to see if they kill my feet first before walking all over town in them.

So, I scored when it came to shoes for Christmas...but I failed with another gift....

This skirt that I loved so much:

Above: Flirty Grey Skirt at Lulu's.com

It was gifted to me by my mum and it was too small. :(

I followed the measurements on the site for sizing and I could not get the back zip all the way up in a "small" though the dimensions of the skirt were correct. Now, they have sold out of everything but "large" size so I am out of luck with that skirt. :(

I am wondering if the "medium" would even fit since a size up means more fabric and I just had a bit of a zip close issue. A "missed it by that much" on the zipper closure. So it is possible a "medium" would be too gappy.

But, I got cool shoes...so all is well in my world at the moment.

I hope you go what you wanted this Christmas.

Merry Christmas!!!!

It is that time of year again!

I am hoping that everyone is having a great Christmas season. May you receive at least one gift you have wanted and may you have a stress-free Christmas day.

Perfect birthday present for me.

I have been dreaming of San Diego, California a lot these past few weeks. I was born there and try to get back there once a year. It is where my heart is a lot of the time and while I would love to live in Seattle because I like the landscape, rain, and mood of the west side of Washington state...my heart will always hold a very special place for San Diego.

I came across this necklace yesterday and instantly had to send it to family members as a birthday present idea for me.

It is simple and a fun way to show my love for the state I was born in.

I am sure that no matter where I live or end up in life, I will always be a California girl at heart.

Bracelet Love: 12/22/10

Above: 2 inch glass beaded bracelet by Precious Hands

If the bracelet were not sold out in this style at Blue Planet, I would be buying it this very instant. I love it that much and the price ($12) is so right for it!

I have asked to be notified if it comes back in stock.

Retro Love.

I love 1970s, retro, clothing because it fits my tall and thin body type so well.

Denim Sandals! Love it!

Jeans just like my babysitter used to wear.

I love the heel cut-out that modernizes the clog's look while remaining 70's retro.

I would love any one of the above to join my wardrobe.
