My New Years Eve!

Happy 2011 Everyone!

I hope you had a great new years eve, whether you black tied it, house partied it, or stayed in alone with movies and popcorn.

I headed to a get together at one of my besties Andrea's house and had a blast!

I took a quick pic of the outfit before we left for the party.

Dress: Urban - Clutch: Free with a Hilary Duff perfum set!:p - Shoes: a store in seattle that I can't remember:( - Earrings: F21

My Christmas

Hallo!

It's almost been a week, but I still wanted to share some of my pics from Christmas.

We spent Christmas eve and morning at my parents house, but the camera with those pics on it died last night so I couldn't upload them.

Here are my pics from Christmas Day/Night!

Me and my family headed to Ryan's parent's house, as we've been doing on most holidays in the last couple years =)

His mom made gorgeous table settings for everyone

My parents!

Do I look like them?

Ok, so I did end up making a video showing all of the things I got, but ended up not being too fond of it. Does that ever happen to any other video bloggers out there? But ya, it ended up on the cutting room floor and I didn't get pics of everything, so I'll just list everything off. I have a couple pics below too.

What I got:

-An SLR Camera (finally!) from Ryan!
(I'm loving it)
-Dyson Ball Vacuum Cleaner
-Chrome Crock pot
-giftcards for Winners & earls
-4 Ralph Lauren crystal glasses with 1 litre Belvedre Premium Vodka
-pijamas&slippers
-MAC holiday Brush Set
-necklace& 2 sets earrings (silver)
- ummmm, I think that's it?

Our Vacuum. Never thought I'd own a Dyson at this age! Love it =) Ours kept breaking so definitely needed this!

The holiday brush set. I love MAC brushes, and this duo fibre is my new fave.They came in this cute little bag you can wear across your body .. I actually think I would wear it!

Here they are with Sigma and random other Too Faced, BE, and Sephora brushes.
Do you like the holder? It's one of the crystal glasses my sis gave me. Don't worry, the others are in my cupboard waiting for some scotch =)

It was a wonderful Christmas, I couldn't have asked for more!
I know I must seem quite materialistic on this blog sometimes, but honestly, I could have had just as amazing a Christmas without any of the gifts, and just the time spent with family/friends.

I hope you enjoyed your Christmas with at least one important person in your life. If you were able to do that, you recieved the best gift possible.

Happy New Year!

Christmas Day Look

This is how I looked on Christmas day! Did you have a good Christmas?

I'm going to do a video showing the goodies I got.

Have you done any boxing day shopping?

It's Ryan's birthday on boxing day, so I took him out for dinner, and then we just had champagne at home. Hope you are having a good holiday season =)

Holiday Makeup and Dress!

Hello, dolls!

I hope you all had a great weekend. Mine was fun but went by waaaay too fast.

On Saturday afternoon me and Ryan met up with my sister and some of her friends at a lounge for her bday .. Every year, Dec. 11 is the busiest day for me .. It's three of my friends bdays, my sister's bday, and both mine and Ryan's company Christmas parties. Needless to say, we can never celebrate them all, and this year we narrowed it down to my sister's celebration in the afternoon, and Ryan's work Christmas party in the evening. His is always the funnest, as his company holds it at the Rimrock Resort in Banff.

We got there with just enough time to get ready in our room before the party downstairs, and here's what my makeup looked like:

I wanted to go with a cross between frosty/smokey, and I think I achieved the look.

And can I just say WOW about MAC Paints as an eyeshadow primer? It kicked my eyeshadow look up about 100 nothches .. I've never been happier with the finish, or how long it lasted!

Here is the outfit I wore:

Dress: Bebe

Purse: Coach

Shoes:Guess

Tights:Shoppers

Earrings:Homemade


All in all it was a fun night!

Here I am hobbling back to the room after the festivites died down.

Notice anything different?

My tights ripped - not a little bit, but a huge gash that took up most of my leg.

I swear I'm cursed when it comes to nylons.

I hope you're having a good holiday season so far.

To be honest I won't be disapointed when it's over, as over the last week I've drank enough at company parties to last me well into the new year! I'm glad this is only a 3 day work week for me .. I can really use the days off to finish my Xmas shopping, etc.

Have a great week!
