"I Wish It Was Christmas Today" by
Horatio Sanz, Jimmy Fallon, Chris Kattan, and Tracy Morgan
I can't believe Christmas was just here. It came and went like nobody's business and I find myself wishing I could do it all over again! (Minus the getting sick part of course ;P) Like most, I spent the day with family, opening gifts and eating lots of treats (I still have plenty left in my stocking that I'm currently snacking on as I write this), our gathering was even complete with Elvis Christmas tunes, which always makes for a great atmosphere! And although the tree is still up, I did Grinch the lights last night and used them decorate my room. (I told my mom I would, so she can't be mad at me XD)
I had a wonderful time with my parents and my (step?)grandparents, who are always a blast to hang out with it! They gave me some green stuff for my birthday and Christmas, so I went shopping yesterday, which I hate going to the mall right after the holiday, but it had to be done; if I wanted good deals that is. Lol. My sister and I went to the Roseville Galleria for the first time and shopped the huge Forever 21 they have there. The place is a seperate two story building from the mall, with its own escalators and elevators (its HUGE), and it was SWAMPED. I couldn't noticing that they had every other F21 collection available except for F21+, but luckily I did manage to find a few really cute pieces in my size that weren't too wiggly:
I love the Black Chiffon button up with the lace-embellished frilled collar. I was really worried at first that it wouldn't fit, but luckily its one of those slightly over-sized pieces that kinda hangs rather than clings, and I have a very flat derriere, so I'm guessing thats why the skirt fit XD The top is sooo sheer though. I had to buy a corselette-bra to go underneath, which I was pleasantly surprised to find they had a 36D. Yay me! Lol! I ordered a pair of the Jessica Simpson Dany's too since they're on sale right now! ($69.99 from $98.00 with free shipping 'til January 11th :D) And also an amazing sweater from Wholesale-Dress.net with some really cool leggings... I'm so excited for my mini wardrobe makeover! Buuut now I have to wait for everything else to come in the mail and its killing me lol
And because she knows I'm a sucker for pretty-smelling things, my mom stuffed my stocking with Citrus Blossom soap - it smells like the Jasmine flowers that used to grow outside of our house in Huntington Beach, so of course I'm head-over-heels for it - and some more of my "signature" scent since she knew I was running low. I love my mom, she gives the best gifts :}
Speaking of family...
The mean family dog (Ginger) and I want to wish you all the Happiest of Holidays! ;D
What was your guys' favorite part of Christmas this year? Any fun plans for NYE?

I so love the last pic!! Made me giggle.
ReplyDeleteAnd you're so lucky to go in an actual F21 shop, thus not having to rely only on the online one! Plus, I really like all the things you got.

@Sacramento: You are most welcome! Thank you for the heads up about my page. I noticed it was loading slow too. It could be the transition from blogspot.com to a .com, but I change it to 4 posts a page; and it's made a little difference. How is it on your end? Let me know if its still really slow!
ReplyDelete@Masoom: Really? Thats awesome! Great minds think alike ;D
@The Hearabouts: Hehe! Glad I could make you giggle, S! :} Usually I DO have to shop online since none of the stores in this area carry the plus size line :{ And I'm surprised they haven't built one there! I think we should start a petition... I'm actually tempted to hold a peaceful protest outside the F21 here to get them to stock the plus size line XD lol
Love the pieces you snatched from Forever 21...but I love the evil smile on the "mean family dog" more. Hope you get a chance to try out the DIY I posted and thanks for your comment.
ReplyDeleteHave a great New Year,

Coco, thanks so much for your fab comment on RedPoppy! I enjoyed reading every word. I also love your dog ginger, the gorgeous soaps, and of course Forever 21.
ReplyDeleteHappy New year xxoxo
I love the F21 stuff. I saw it but of course I could never fit into it unless I intend to stuff only an arm or a leg in. They will look beautiful on you though, I can totally imagine it! If that's the grinch-est you can be, you have to try harder because it still made me smile!
ReplyDeleteCool blog coco! Thanks for your comment :D
