To be honest, I didn’t think I was getting anything for Christmas this year. I didn’t ask for anything, not to mention that I much prefer shopping for others than myself. But I tagged along with my mom to pick up some last-minute gifts for our family, and we both fell in love with the J.Crew Edie bag in red. The leather is so smooth, the style is so classic, and the build is very structured. Originally I had wanted the black or the leopard, but all of the local Dallas stores were sold out of both of those colors, and seeing the red in person made me reconsider – and I’m glad I went with something more adventurous! Thanks so much to my parents, grandmother, and great-grandmother, for a beautiful gift that will last me for years. ♥
I hope you all had a wonderful and safe Christmas. I personally had a wonderful weekend spending time with my family eating good food, watching Midnight in Paris, and playing Zedla: Skyward Sword. I couldn’t have asked for a better holiday!

I’m glad you had such a great time with your family Cath’ ! The bag is lovely :)
What did you think of Midnight in Paris? I watched it last week, I must say that I was a bit disappointed (maybe cause I was sick of seing always the same parts of Paris)

It definitely wasn’t my favorite Woody Allen movie – like you said, it really just highlighted the touristy/famous spots of Paris, and it was incredibly didactic towards the end, which made it fall slightly flat in my opinion. But it made me feel warm and fuzzy inside, and it featured some of my favorite actors, so I guess I have kind of a mixed opinion about it! :)

That bag is stunning! And Midnight in Paris is such an enchanting film, it’s definitely one of my top favorites from this year.

How is Skyward Sword? I played Ocarina of TIme and Majoras Mask to death…my N64 is the only console i own :-) I saw the trailer online and it looks amazing..so do you think it’s worth investing in a new console for it?
BTW, your blog is the only “personal” style blog i like, really enjoy your pictures and your writing.
Love from Germany
