christmas prettiness

Just some lovely christmas cheer to get you through the

longest. week. in. the. history. of. work. weeks.

nine days until christmas :)

spotted on rue mag.

a few christmas tunes

I am seriously loving this little mix right now... and thankfully

my work computer finally upgraded to one with speakers.

ENJOY! And we are officially on the 12 days

of Christmas :)

merry christmas eve

Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born

why hello there christmas break...

i took my last final this afternoon... its a strange feeling. i am still scared that something crazy is going to happen but- at least i am done for now. katie and i started packing today, its a bizarre and frightening feeling to know that life is pretty much about to change and i mean REALLY change. as i was packing tonight, i got really sad... i miss old college life. i miss my friends. i miss the 'carefree days."  i miss ayrshire and our giant christmas tree... i miss knowing that i was leaving for christmas and coming back for spring in college station. i miss you guys. {and now i am crying...}

i think all of these feelings are also stemming from the new york move. its here. its happening. and i am already cold just thinking about it. once christmas is celebrated and new years (by the way, i have big dreams this year for nye) i will finalize my departure date but i am thinking january 12-15. one month from tomorrow- scary? yes and fun.  "the big girl days" are here.  i am now officially on the job hunt 24 hours a day. 7 days a week.  lets do this...

twelve days of christmas!

on the first day of Christmas
my true love gave to me:
a partridge in a pear tree.

::perfect holiday shoes::

cute holiday shoes from kate spade!

{and for once, there are no sparkles}

these make me think of you and you.

sparkles

I kind of want to be her today. 

And yes, I understand that this is shallow

and pointless... I am way too into sparkles.

DECEMBER!

25 days until Christmas!
