My little sister knows me too well; for Christmas, she gave me this Unicorn vs. Narwhal battle set! I’d been pining over it at our local comic store (I love collecting “designer toys”) and she used her allowance to buy it for me. So sweet! She also got me the Unicorn Code tote bag that I’m sure will prove perfect for carrying my texts:

I can’t wait to add the Cold War Unicorns Play Set to my collection; it will make the best conversation piece for visitors, no?

Here are a few more pictures of my Miu Miu bag, too, for those who are interested.

I only wish it could fit my Moleskine planner, which I typically carry around to parties & outings for recording quotes. Looks like I have an excuse to get a pocket Moleskine, I guess!

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!
