Christmas Weekend

 Well now that Christmas is over, it is time to get cracking on basically not being lazy and getting involved with more projects! Despite my laziness, I had a great weekend including getting to go to the patriots game on Christmas eve! Between my two sides, family events are always loud, crazy and entertaining and this year certainly lived up to my expectations. Here are some of the shots from this weekend!
                                                  
                   

         

           
                         Some fun kids grab gifts!           

              
                               The new coats that provided a small game of bouncing off each other!             

I hope everyone got everything that they wanted and more! I certainly had one great christmas with some fun presents but mostly spending time with my family, most of which I do not see that often!

Christmas Wish List

So with Christmas only 6 days away, I'm clearly finding so many different products that I "want and need" for Christmas that I had not yet seen or known about when giving ideas for presents from my family and friends. While I will not necessarily be able to own these items, I can still lust over them. Here are a few items that I recently found. What about you? What is on your christmas wish list?

1) Portolano I-Touch Gloves: How great are these gloves? If you have any sort of touch screen phone, you wouldn't even have to take off your gloves to use your phone. I definitely need a pair!



2) Cuisinart Griddler: So I saw a commercial for this and immediately decided I wanted this. We use our George Forman so much at my house but after grilling chicken then trying to clean it is the biggest pain. This is great because the plates are removable and dishwasher safe AND it opens up to be a griddle so you can make pancakes then later make a panini. Its basically the best invention made for college students. This is a WANT!
3) Starbucks Black and White Mocha: Although this would not be a Christmas gift, any time I get this drink, I think of it as a gift. the White Chocolate Mocha mixed with regular Mocha is a drink sent from heaven. The first time I got it I was pulling an all-nighter studying for exams so I think it was even better at the time. Definitely a must try for anyone not sure what to get when they go to Starbucks!

4) Steve Madden 'Sparkk' Booties: I'm really into glittery and sparkly shoes right now and every since I DIYed my own shoes with gold glitter, I've been looking for other shoes similar or projects I can do. Steve Madden has an especially large amount of shoes with glitter and sparkle on them and these are ones that I love and truly need to have. I don't know how much I would wear them in Vermont but thats okay, you never know! 

5) YSL Silver Clutch: For years I have coveted the YSL Muse bag, but this clutch is just awesome especially because it is in silver. I love that it is so bright and it can be used during the holidays or just a night out on the town.

6) Modalu 'Pippa' Wallet: Modalu has become a huge brand recently because of the one and only Pippa Middleton and her love for their recently renamed 'Pippa' handbag (one which I will be receiving for Christmas! So Excited). However, their wallets I also love. They are just so classic and simple, which as a soon to be graduating college student will be something that I 'need'! The best part about the Modalu brand is that despite their growing success, their prices (while in pounds) are relatively low, which is always a plus!
