Christmas Shopping Rules plus Johnny Weir

I was buying gifts for my husband and was distracted by these items! Are you naughty like me and buy stuff for yourself when you are shopping for others? Isn't that the rule of Christmas shopping?

Old Navy Shirt

There was one that says, "I've Been Nice". But that's no fun.

Marshall's

Pink is flattering on everybody. Especially fuschia! 

A little pink is all you need near your face...instant glowing complexion!

Old Navy Hat

I needed a knit cap since my hats are fancier wool diva hats with big rims.

Old Navy Hat

Ok, this looks like a small bear is sleeping on your head! Or a Tina Turner wig!  Maybe both.
But I think it's so fashion forward! I've wanted an obnoxious (faux) fur hat ever since I saw Johnny Weir rocking one in his Bluefly Closet Confessions. When I bought this, the saleswoman said "That'll keep you warm." True, but I bought it more for fashion!

Wow, this does look pretty wild. But I love it!! Half bear, half Tina. 

Makes me wanna sing actually. Like I need an excuse.



Btw, Heeeere's Johnny! You know I had to post his Confessions video after mentioning it! This is the shorter version, but you will see his fur hat! He's so fun! He's the gay, male, figure skating version of Betsey Johnson.

 

It's Pumpkin Pickin' Time

An imprompu trip to the pumpkin farm. My favorite part is the tractor ride out to the field! So fun!

My husband likes this picture best. He likes the sunlight in the background shining down on me :)  

OMG, I went to this haunted mansion one year with my mother and husband, what a funny story. 

Let's just say we left very early. A dark house with actors dressed in scary costumes following us? 

My mom and I couldn't cope!

Do you like to go to the pumpkin farm or haunted mansions? What's your favorite fall activity?

Mall Haul: The Looks

Two looks with some of the items from the mall haul below.

first look

Vest: H & M

Dress: Forever21

Shoes: Payless

second look

Tank: Old Navy

Shorts: Elle

Shoes: Payless

This is the link for the shorts. They are so comfy and I like the fit. The colors are white, olive and chino and they come with cute belts. The chino (my choice) came with the little orange belt! 

Mall Haul: H & M, Old Navy, Forever 21

Ladies, those summer clearances are in effect big time! 75 percent off at Old Navy! My two favorite times to shop: January and late July/early August. Here's my mall haul...

This was only $2.50. Good for relaxing around the house! 

If Charles Darwin were alive he would compare shopping at H & M to survival of the fittest. Only it would be survival of the "quickest". I patiently waited for a shopper to finish looking at these vests and she snagged the last one in the size I really wanted. Aw man! But this size fit ok too. I love this for layering over sundresses, tank tops and t-shirts!

This coral striped tank is from Old Navy. It was 3 dollars and some change.  It's more form fitting on.

I love these romantic rose prints! I have an cooking apron in this same pattern. I think this print is usually  called English Roses? This was from Forever 21. 

Some Like it Hot

My cousin lives in Texas and told me yesterday it reached 95 degrees! And here we are on the east coast trying to stay above 50. Well, it's hot somewhere so I wanted to put an outfit together that I would wear the minute (or second) that we finally start getting some spring weather.

I bought that ruffle tank today at Marshall's with a gift card from Mypoints. It takes a while to build up points, but with a big purchase, you're set! My trip to Mexico was booked through Mypoints earning me a lot of points. I have been a member for several years and have earned many gift cards even with my smaller purchases, so I highly recommend online shopping via that site and it's free to join!

My Lucky Color

Tonight was date night! Italian food followed by bowling. I usually lose, but not tonight!
I can't believe I actually won this time (never have before).

My final score was 151. Purple just might be my lucky color.
