I had dressed casually for Christmas day, which was the previous post and went all out for my nighttime Christmas look because more family members were flying up that night. I had thought to wear a red and black midi skirt I have with a black top, it was even already in my carry on, but since I went to work to drop off a present, I thought I'd quickly check Rainbow. I had already seen this stripped skirt, which also came in black and white stripes, but I liked the white and gold for Christmas. There were only 2 left and the smallest size was a large, as I kept looking around the store, I found a small hanging on another spot, so I went with that one. I had thought also to wear my red lace crop top with it, but with all the rush, I forgot to pack it. I received two 3/4 sleeve tops as my present, which we opened on Christmas eve and they worked out perfectly.

Stripped cupcake skirt from Rainbow, new top from Nine West, faux fur coat from Burlington Coat Factory and booties from Payless.

Added some loose white glitter to my eyelids for a more festive look, more eyeliner and winged and matte red lipstick from e.l.f.

I had made my first purchase from Miss A and ordered many jewelry pieces which included these very Sparkly red earrings. Necklace came attached to a shirt from Rainbow, ring from Charming Charlie and bracelets from Miss A and mini in the box.

I was really loving the mostly white look with pops of red, so it was for the best that I left my red top.

My cousin's baby shower had finally come and it was the night before I would fly out to Nicaragua with my friend. I had stayed with her and her sister since all weekend since my other cousin had picked me up from work the day before at Macy's. I had just bought a new laptop and was trying to transfer everything from the mini laptop my friend was letting me borrow, so I wouldn't have to bring it, but there was no time and I was only able to transfer a few movies and download a few programs. I had to get dressed so fast and retouch my makeup, luckily I had already selected and separated the jewelry I would wear. When we got there we still had to set up and I was the photographer before the guests arrived to take pictures of the set up.

New dress from Macy's, faux fur cover from Burlington Coat Factory and booties from Sears.

New necklace and earrings from Forever 21, ring from Beya, black watch and white bracelet from mini in the box, gold chain bracelet from H&M and blue bracelet from Miss A.

I had made some cupcakes at Publix to bring for these weekend events, when my cousin saw them, she decided to keep them all for the shower. My manager had stepped out for her long break and that's when I decided I would make those cupcakes. There was only white buttercream, so I had to color it to a light blue then I looked around to see what I can use for decoration and picked these white chocolate, milk chocolate shapes and the striped chocolate sticks. Running around doing all this all alone there felt great, like this was my own bakery.....one day.

Then back to another Marshall's and a different Christmas tablescape.

Handbag section again and saw this sparkly backpack.

Kate Spade bow bag.

And now the wine section starting with plates.

Really fell in love with this bottle stopper and very inexpensive.

And lastly wine caddies for very fashionable ladies out there.
