Merry Christmas – I hope everyone’s was safe and fun! My boyfriend’s little sister was sick all day, and my twin sister also managed to wreck our car on the ice. (Yes, we had a white winter in northern Texas!) Luckily she’s okay, and the damage is minimal, but it was definitely a stressful event. Regardless, we all managed to have a food-filled, family-filled holiday and I’m glad we all managed to survive another year. ♥

I think this year has to be one of the best as far as loots go. I was gifted with a pink snuggie, a Unicorn vs. Narwhal battle set (can’t wait to post pictures), a Unicorn Code tote bag, a beautiful plaid Anthropologie dress, and most importantly, an iPhone (to replace my old, broken Sprint). I can’t wait to plaster this Deer Wearing Gym Socks decal on the back of it! But first – a protective case!

Most importantly, though, I bought myself the following (it arrived on Christmas Eve):

As you can probably agree, the most rewarding feeling is buying something that you have wanted for years with your own, hard-earned money. When this popped up on eBay at a very opportune time (I had just received a webdesign check AND made a 4.0 in university), I couldn’t pass it up. I have loved this Miu Miu collection — the aged vitello totes — for years, and I stupidly hesitated buying it when it was in stores. I’m glad I took the chance, because the leather is so supple, the hardware shiny, and most importantly, this little clutch is SO INCREDIBLY SPACIOUS.

This photo is probably the most representative of the color. As you can see, it has some intentional aging around the stitching, perfectly illuminated by the gold hardware. Ah! I’m in love. I adore how girly the color is, without being too “Barbie” (as it appeared in the photos).

More photos later, I really just wanted to pop in and wish everyone a Merry Christmas!
