Sparkly Saturday!

With my equally fancy Mamma.

   Alright, so it's techhhhnically not Saturday anymore, but I still felt like sharing; Our Saturday was a lovely array of fanciness. I finally took a day off of work and everything else. I awoke at noon and rolled out of bed and down the stairs. I spent the "morning" organizing my closet. It may not sound like the most relaxing thing ever, but it totally was for me. Walking into a neat, clean room is so relaxing. I feel like I'm so on top of it all now. (I'll have to add some fabulous photos!) And what better way to feel nice and relaxed than getting a shower with super yummy bath stuff from, where else? Lush.
   Apres, I talked to my Beau for a while and then Mamma cooked our dinner:

 

Tres delicieuse! Eggs Benedict is my very favorite breakfast, but even better as dinner!

   We began to watch Julie&Julia and Mamma began to make Vanilla Bean cupcakes. And those little sweet cakes? Absolutely delectable! I put extra pink sprinkles on mine, because I'm fancy. I went upstairs and made my bed, then crawled in and got comfy.

   And today? I did a LOT of work. I took off yesterday, but that meant I worked 10 to 6 today instead. I watched the Superbowl while painting my toenails (walking contradiction, anyone?) and Who Dat!? the Saints won! Dudes, you don't even understand how white I sound when I say that!!

   So let me show you a couple cute things that are totally Sparkly Saturday/Sunday worthy:

Tarina Taratino "Electric Koolade" necklace! It's so colorful! It's so hippie chic! It's AMAZING!

   And then I was looking around the web and found this super cute song, so I had to share the lyrics. I'd share the song itself, but I honestly err.. didn't really like it. It was cute, but I thought the lyrics were more worthy of a better song? If that makes sense? Anyway, here goes. The song is called "Boats and Birds" by Gregory and the Hawk:

"If you'll be my star
I'll be your sky
You can hide underneath me and come out at night
When I turn jet black and you show off your light
I live to let you shine
I live to let you shine

But you can skyrocket away from me
And never come back if you find another galaxy
Far from here with more room to fly
Just leave me your stardust to remember you by

If you'll be my boat
I'll be your sea
A depth of pure blue just to probe curiosity
Ebbing and flowing and pushed by a breeze
I live to make you free
I live to make you free

But you can set sail to the west if you want to
And past the horizon till I can't even see you
Far from here where the beaches are wide
Just leave me your wake to remember you by"

 XOXO.

Live Your Life

  Class of 2009's song was Live Your Life by TI and Rihanna. I must admit, I was disappointed at first. Really?! We're gonna have a song about "paper chasers" with the Numa Numa song stuck in there randomly as our class song? For real? That's what we want to be remembered for? Ehh, oh well. I hated it for awhile, but have finally come to terms with the poor song. I figure that I might as well like it since it's not gonna change. When it came on the radio the other day, I actually turned the volume up rather than down.
  All of this thinking about Senior Songs made me start thinking about Senior Prom. That night was possibly one of my best moments in all of high school. My outfit was amazing. It was unique, gorgeous, my favorite colors, and I never wanted to take it off. I felt like a Barbie doll. Or a giant cupcake!

  Look how flouncy my skirt is! And how big my silk corsage is! It was honestly an amazing ensemble to wear. Mamma found the dress at Ross for under 40$. The shoes were found by my stepmom, Suz, for around 30$, the corsage Mamma made for under 10$, ditto with the necklace. I had already owned the pink tutu that I wore underneath my dress. Overall, I spent much less that 100$, and it turned out to be my favorite outfit of all time.
  On top of feeling like a Princess, I was finally realizing that I liked the Mister. I wish I had gotten more pictures of us, because we both looked really cute.

  Before he realized that all that dancing with him and sitting next to him and whatnot was actually me falling in love with him. It would take us another week before we actually starting texting every day, and then a couple more before we took the plunge.

But just look at those sunglasses! They're gorgeous baby girl pink and heart shaped and I insisted on wearing them indoors for most of the evening. Finally, I leave you with the first Polyvore post I did, which is basically a repeat of my lovely Prom '09 clothes.

XOXO.

But Baby, It's Cold Outside

  Christmas has not always been my favorite holiday; it only hit the Number 1 spot this year. I can't really explain the change of heart I've had. I suppose it is because I finally get to see the Mister at Christmastime. Possibly because I realized how much I love the food and decorating and shopping. More than likely because I'll get to travel around and pack a suitcase this year and get out of the Peach State that doesn't even have peach Christmas ornaments.
  Really, what kind of state are you that you don't even carry ornaments that have to do with your state!? Florida always had at least one Christmas Santa in ridiculous tourist clothes, and snowmen standing next to flamingos and palm trees. All Mamma and I can find here are ornaments with bulldogs and big red A's. Ohh how I miss living in a normal state.

 Sugarplum Fairies love pink decorations!

  This year my Christmas style is pretty simple. I only really have my little room to decorate, and so far all I have is a tiny pink tree with Princess decorations and my unique "Christmas Eiffel Tower". I'm probably going to add fairy lights somewhere, possibly inside of the birdhouse behind my bed. I also want to add mosquito netting to some part of my room, so I'm on the lookout for the perfect one. I had planned on buying a larger tree for my room, but haven't found one for a cheap enough price tag yet. More than likely, I'll wait until all of the after-holiday sales. Lately, I've fallen in love with the color lavender and all of the beautiful lavender decorations, so I may be incorporating that into my decorating somehow.

 A pink tree and a unicorn and a silhouette? Count me in!
  Our downstairs has just one baby tree, which we've desperately been trying to fix. The base of the poor thing snapped, and now it leans sideways like the Tower of Pisa. It's not too terrible to look at, but then the cat jumps onto the table and it totally topples over. We'd get a real tree, but then we'd have to find a place for it, find the base, find more ornaments and lights. Instead, we bought a batch of evergreen branches and Mamma made arrangements with those. We've got a Mistletoe candle downstairs too, which smells like Christmas trees and the holidays. It's funny, John (who rarely likes the candles Mamma and I pick) adores the Mistletoe one. Mamma told him it was "Mistlefoot" and he went around calling it that for a few days before she told him the real name.
  We lost John one night in Micheal's a few weeks ago. As usual, we assumed he had gone to the car and was tired of shopping with us. Our phone's don't work in the store though, so Mamma and I just wandered around hoping we'd find him. After about fifteen minutes of searching (and getting very distracted by all of the gorgeous stuff in there), we found John down the Christmas Village aisle. He was pressing every button he could, looking at each tiny house and listening to all of the Christmas music. We were surprised that he loved the little villages so much. Mamma found one from a few years ago in her Christmas boxes, and I got John one from the Flower Shop, so now we're starting our own cute collection!

How adorable!

I hope our collection will look this amazing one day! I really want to go buy all of the mini trees and the special fake snow now. The Mister just texted me (texting is sadly our main form of communication at the moment) to say "Did you know we're going to see each other in about 19 days?" I am so excited for Winter Break to start on the 16th, and way excited to see my love on the 26th. Let's count down to Christmas! What are you excited about this year?

Make one!
