LEOPARD, STRIPES, & FOLIAGE

I love mixing colors and patterns and lately I've been pairing nautical stripes with tropical florals; although we have been lucky to have a pretty mild winter up until now, I can't wait for spring! I hope you all have a great week, I can't wait to post all the pretty things I got for Christmas, including the ankle boots and velvet dress I wanted!! xo Nia

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Happy holidays lovelies! I can't believe 2009 is almost over- thank you for an amazing year! I love your comments, e-mails, and feedback - you have all been such a great inspiration to me!

I wore this outfit yesterday while running some last minute shopping errands and putting the final decorations on our tree. Here are a few of my favorite ornaments that I love seeing every Christmas:

One of my all time faves is this adorable little robot and although I'm a dog person, I find this fat cat ornament hilarious!

We have a rather large collection of bird ornaments and I love this little guy! We used to have a beautiful peacock that came with a nest but sadly I couldn't find it this year! We have hundreds of decorations and tree ornaments so unfortunately they sometimes go missing :(

I love this glass seahorse, it looks beautiful in the light! And lastly, my least favorite ornament, the cat in the...cone? I don't even know what this thing is...a cat head coming out of a christmas tree stuffed in a white felt cone adorned with gold tinsel? We got this one at a craft sale when I was little and I've always found it rather disturbing! I try to get rid of it but every year it ends up back on our tree!

Wherever you are in the world and whatever you believe in, I hope all your holiday wishes come true! Much love xoxoxo!

HOLIDAY DREAMING

A few items on my holiday wishlist (clockwise from left): Emma Watson wearing D&G (fall 2009), ROJAS bronze vintage floral pocket skirt, D&G brooch (totally DIYing these amazing brooches after Christmas! I'm in love!!), Aldo "Corsaro" lace-up booties, black Nivona lace leggings by Malene Birger, Topshop bunny ears headband.

And the ULTIMATE gift - the Christian Louboutin Bridget Strass pumps. SO. GORGEOUS. *sigh* someday...

I hope all your holiday wishes come true! Have a great week lovelies!

SHOPPING WEEKEND

Tried to finish up some last minute Christmas shopping today and only ended up buying more things for myself! Oopsie...

Decided to give these peeptoe buckle ankle boots one last run before the temp gets too cold and then hopefully I can replace them with ~these~ fierce little things! Santa, baby?!

CHILLED

My mom bought me this beautiful coat for my birthday--pictures really don't do it justice! It has a gorgeous silhouette and the high collar is perfect for the cold weather. It's -31°C here right now but I'm keeping warm inside, enjoying the deliciousness of my Starbucks and studying for my exam (bleh). Anyways, I have to get back to cramming, talk to you later lovelies! xo Antonia
