Gifted

Let me just start by saying that today is the coldest day we've had in close to a year. 27 degrees. BRRRR!!! It's strange to have made it this far into winter without being legitimately cold even once. And now...after new years eve (which is usually bone chillingly cold since obviously I don't dress weather-appropriatly) it's cold? Well all right. I suppose I know where my long-johns are.

Ok. Let's get on with it, now that my ranting about the weather is done.

Happy New Year! Happy Chanukah! Merry Christmas!

Did you get any good gifts this year? Give any good gifts? I sure did.

BF, being the fantastic BF that he is, reads my blog regularly (by choice, generally) and read my post about Christmas gifts. (As a side-note, I may add, I considered deleting that post because it felt so self indulgent. Boy am I glad I didn't!) So, what did he get me, you ask? Well, this:

The Michael Kors watch I've been coveting for as long as it's existed! (Don't mind the stuff in the background, that's my bedroom, still in the makeover process. Which I should be documenting, I suppose...) I was so happy and surprised and excited when I opened this gift. BF did good. BF did really good.

In addition to this watch, I got something else that I've been adoring from afar for as long as it's existed:

The most beautiful Marc Jacobs bag that ever did exist. I am in love with it. Mom did good too. REALLY good.





Now, as for the things I gave:

BF got these sneakers (and not a moment too soon...his old ones were so so bad) along with some other assorted goodies.


And for my Mom, my Dad and I split this fantastic Barbour coat. She had one years ago and loved it, but along the road of life it got lost in the shuffle. She is notoriously difficult to buy gifts for, (she never likes anything) so this one was excitingly perfect. There was no way she wouldn't like it.
And mostly that proved true, although she was a bit bothered by how much money we spent.

But alas, she loves it. Overall, the holiday's were good to us all this year.

As I part with you today, I'll leave you with this: Our jewy little Christmas tree:
