This was my Christmas Eve dress, accompanied by my handsome beau. š I completely adore this dress, which was a super steal on Black Friday! ($50 instead of the original $130.) The ruffled detailing on the sleeves and sides were perfect for some holiday girly glam. What did you wear?
Nails: Chanel Steel

Sadly, I don’t have an actual picture of this. LJ, my boyfriend, got me the LV Monogram Canvas Speedy 30 which I also have been wanting. I picked this out a few months ago and have been wondering when I would get it, and he surprised me for Christmas. Every single bag in all of the Louis Vuitton Stores and online is sold out- can you believe that? So, the bag is back ordered until the end of January. Since he didn’t have the bag for me Christmas morning, he printed off the picture of it and beautifully wrapped it all by himself (YES!) along with a precious little note. I couldn’t be happier! š He also gave me a bottle of Chanel nail polish in Steel on Christmas Eve morning, which I am wearing in the pictures above!
Among the other things I was given were candles, some body lotion which I LOVE, a fair isle sweater (be watching for!), a beautiful black trench from my mom, and some little things from the little sisters.
It has been a snowy few days up here in Connecticut, but I am happy to have a White Christmastime– it wasn’t a White Christmas though! Tomorrow is my birthday, which I am SO excited for! Stay tuned for details on that, coming soooon!
How was everyone’s Christmas? I hope you all enjoyed the few days with family & friends. I know I was so blessed, and I am sure each and every one of you were as well. & please hang in there with me! I’ll be replying to emails and comments as soon as this busyness ends š
