It's Just Another Year That Slipped Away

Oh, my gosh! I totally pampered myself today and got my hair done! I needed this so bad, especially with the holidays around the corner... And guess how much I paid? How much would you pay for a sleek and stylish 'do like this?

Speaking of the holidays... I hadn't realized just how close December was getting! Christmas AND my birthday are a month away. (Where did the year go!?) Its weird to think I'm going to be turning twenty-one. I feel like just the other day I was in high school! The real dilemma though is that I have no idea what I'm going to do for my birthday. Other than legally purchase myself a drink for the first time of course. Lol. I like the idea of staying in San Francisco and just shopping 'til I drop, but at the same time a part of me kind of just wants to party at home.

Orrr maybe a trip to LA for a live taping of Conan is in order? Hmmm. What to do, what to do...

P.S. Does anyone else wish Forever21 would make knock-off Jeffrey Campbell's?

My dress from Kitten Paws Vintage came. I feel very girly in it, although I have to say that wearing it is a little bitter-sweet. (It's a long story, I won't get into details.) It's vintage perfection in a very pale, peachy-cream color that I just adore. The gathered sweetheart bust and the tulle make me feel so flirty too. I'll admit: today I didn't do much, but the way I see it; that's no excuse not to dress up. Lol. Besides, I can't just sit around and mope! Instead, two very productive things I did do included making homemade "whoopi" cakes and doing this mini shoot with my mom to get my mind off of things.

Also, there's a very interesting story behind the doll in that last shot. My mom made it for me when I was little, and whilst sewing, she stuck herself with the needle on accident and bled a little on it, and the stain it left was in the distinct shape of a tiny heart. What's more odd, is that the stain is right where the heart would be. She ended up sewing a gold heart charm with a ruby in it on top, but you can still see the stain to this day <3
