Stunning

Marc Jacobs has always been my favorite designer. And yet again, he proves why. The yellow velvet. I previously would never have been able to imagine myself saying that I absolutely love something made of yellow velvet; but Jacobs has proven to even me that you can in fact love it. The vintage/retro vibe of the collection is awesome and every piece is stunning. When I looked at the whole collection some of it doesn't even "match" which is awesome because who cares if a collection doesn't have the same thing over and over. I was pleased. The purble hoodie is awesome, I could actually see myself buying something like that, while the other clothes I can only dream of affording.. :(

Taunt Me All You Want

So, I was browsing through the Topshop website a few weeks ago and discovered these insane pants/leggings. The only problem is I can't seem to find where they are actually for sale, which is extremely dissapointing.

BUT, I won't give up my search. First the actual store, and then on to DIY. I found a pair of similar jeans from Urban Outfitters that are marbled, and then I can order a stud gun (I think?) and just make the pants myself.

All I Want for Christmas...

So the other day I sent my Christmas wishlist to Santa and here's what I'm wishing for this Christmas:

1.) Influence by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen
I hope I get the one with Mary-Kate on the cover because she is a huge inspiration to me, both fashion and business wise. I admire that she [and Ashley] has actually made a name for herself by working and running a billion dollar business and not just partying and ending up in tabloids.

2.) Tiffany Necklace with my initial
I've been wanting a necklace from Tiffany&Co. for two years, and I finally found the perfect one. It's simple and will go with anything, plus it's not incredibly expensive.

3.) Dior Eyeliner in "Precious Violet"
It's still subtle enough to wear everyday, but the purple changes things up a bit. Plus, purple is the new black this winter :)

4.) Disney's "Ratatouille" DVD
I must say.. one of the greatest movies ever. I absolutely love it. Cooking is a passion of mine and this movie was adorable.

5.) Sony Cybershot DSC W300
My friend C accidentally broke my camera when she tripped at my house, so this is it's replacement. I can't wait to try out the Smile Shutter Mode that automatically takes a picture when people smile!

Gifts

This Christmas, with the financial crisis and economic downturn, finding gifts for friends and family can't break the bank. Making things yourself (scarves, chocolates, jewelry) can help you save a few pennies and can be really personal gifts. Searching through sale racks and discount piles can often produce quite a few really nice gifts.

My one tip: If you know the person, you'll find the present.

Whatever your way to save money this Christmas remember, it's the thought that counts; truly.

Good luck in all your holiday shopping this year <3
