Me too. I got a similar one at H&M last year to wear for Christmas and I'm glad that I can wear it again this year!

I did too, in the pic! The actual dress was very flimsy and stretchy, more of a shirt than a dress, and very very short. I considered getting a couple sizes bigger to add length but then it would have been too baggy :(

Xtina, love the dresses!

Boots, isn't that store out of control? I went there last week because I wanted to find big sparkly earrings quickly, and it seemed like the right place. But I always forget how overwhelming it is. Colors! Sequins! Rhinestones! EVERYWHERE!

ETA: Got this steamer on Woot.com today for $35:

Overwhelming is exactly how it feels! My SIL and I went in there right after Thanksgiving and just couldn't handle browsing the whole store. I ended up going back last weekend to actually buy the items that she wanted. The nice thing about the store is that items pretty much stay in the same place (unlike FF21 where items are moved around on a weekly basis just to screw with your head.)

I bought this for myself from DSW using a GC that I've had or a year now (plus $10 off promotion.) I've never heard of the brand Crown Vintage, but figured that it was less then $50 out of pocket for a leather wedge boot so why not risk it?

Knocked out some holiday shopping for the in-laws at Best Buy and Macy's - buttload of DVDs, sweaters, and PJs. Boring but they don't care, they just like gifts.

I feel ridiculous shopping the day after Christmas, but this necklace has been on my brain for a while now and I got an Amazon gift card for Christmas so...

Boots · Gucci

Bloomingdales always has a good post Christmas sale. Yesterday they had all of their cashmere marked down, 50% off the markdown and then an extra $10 off each sweater until noon. Of course the two that I bought aren't on their website any more (guess I should be thankful I got them when I did yesterday!)

This v neck cardi (that I may be wearing right now!) only in a charcoal grey with thin fuchsia stripes.

And this cashmere dress in black. It maybe a bit short for a dress (on me it comes about 3 inches above my knees) so I'm thinking leggings or jeggings instead. I'm going to try it with tights and see if I feel too inappropriate in it.

And a navy blue top with sheer panels from Anthro's sale for $15 (and of course not on their website any more.)

Edit*

Just bought this 15% TCA face peel kit from MUAC. Hoping that it willl work as well as the reviews say it does.

My experience absurd purchasing the day after Xmas, but this pendant has been on my mind for a while now and I got an Amazon coupon for Xmas so...
