December Favorites

Wednesday, December 30, 2015


Can you believe this is my twelfth and final favorites post of the year? Time to start it all over again.

BUT FIRST. A few favorites from December:

Beauty:

I've never really been a user of face primer, just eyes. But if you wear face makeup you should really prime it first to get a smooth canvas that "sticks." So when Borghese gifted me with their Prima Viso primer I was eager to try it out, and I've noticed my bronzer stays on better. So, WDAC seal of approval official.

Essie's Leggy Legend made an appearance for most of the month because what's more festive than gold glittery tones? 

December is one of my favorite times to break out my go-to lipstick, Rimmel Kate 107. It's such a perfect shade of red and complements nearly every skin tone.


Fashion:

The overall dress featured here is so versatile and I feel like it's chic while managing to be effortless, which is what my winter wardrobe needs to be.

Another f21 find.... this little cream dress. (for some reason I could only find it on the European site) It was the Christmas Eve outfit and I couldn't think of a better one.


Everything else:

This month's read was recommended to me, I'll Give You Sun by Jandy Nelson. I've never read any of Jandy's previous novels, but this one sounded good. I'm halfway through and it's got me.

Does this next one count if I've only had it for five days? I'm gonna say yes. (I make the rules, duh) 25 is everything it's been hyped up to be. Her vocals kill and there's not one song that doesn't make me feel things. Plus, I've had the line "Send my love to your new lo-over" in my head on a loop and I can't even be mad about it.

I decided to start Grey's Anatomy a couple weeks ago. It's not like I'd never seen an episode, in fact I've seen a lot of them over the years. But I was always just a casual watcher, only mildly attached. But now... now I can't stop clicking next episode and wondering how my life got to this point. Casual.


YOUR TURN. What products did you fall in love with this December? Any oldie-but-goodies like that lipstick of mine? Spill.

What I Got For Christmas 2015

Monday, December 28, 2015


I always like reading these blog posts/ watching youtube videos, mostly because I'm nosier than Gladys Kravitz. 

Anyway, I got so many lovely things that I'm thankful for. Big gifts are nice, but I always like getting a bunch of cute, random assortments of small ones like:

Some things off my list (that I FORGOT TO PHOTOGRAPH) like the KS address book, Stars Hollow wall art, and this Trendy Sparrow wall hanging. (At least that one managed to get in the photo) Another favorite was the Adele album that I've been blasting for three days. It's fine.


My cousin's lovely wife works at Lilly (I need that job asap) and I was gifted with some cool little journals and a couple of clutches, as well as the Anthro monogram mug that like every blogger has. We've already had an instagram moment.


Coffee seemed to be front and center this year (wonder why) and now I've got all the frappuccinos and K-cups and grounds I could ever need. For the month at least. 

Now that Incredible Things has been added to the mix, my perfume collection includes every Taylor Swift perfume, ever. But who's counting?

This was the year of adult coloring books (why do they call them that anyway? Who cares that I'm an adult with a coloring book? It's kind of like the man bun thing. No. You're just rocking a bun. Get over it.) and I'm a liiiitle excited to make them all pretty. My sister even threw in gel pens. Yeah.

And of course the array of gift cards..... always welcome. Always treasured. 


There was also a selfie stick involved, which is all a blogger needs really. I hope it doesn't get tired easily.

There's more bits of odds and ends I didn't share, but still love. This Christmas was pretty laid back and good like always.

OKAY. Your turn. Tell me what you got! How did you spend your day?

And just like that, it's here.

Dropping in to wish you a wonderful Christmas!

My head is filled with some fun little dreams for WDAC in the new year, and I can't wait to see how it all plays out. 

Until then, have yourself a merry little Christmas.
