You say goodbye, and I say hello...

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE!!

Just to make things clear...2011 wasn't exactly my year. In fact, I'd rather forget it even happened. Apart from 2 amazing vacations (Santa Barbara in April and San Francisco in November)-everything I wanted to happen, didn't. But instead of making this a post about regret, I wanted to focus on the fact that tomorrow is not only a new day, but a new year. I'm looking forward to taking hold of all of my goals and taking them in a direction where I know they'll be fulfilled. I hope everyone has a wonderful evening planned, and I hope 2012 will bring us all lots of joy and hope. 

I leave you with some of my favorite looks from 2011...

Merry Christmas!!
It's been two days, and still it feels like Christmas never even happened. With just a blink of an eye, it was over. Too fast, in my opinion. I wish Christmas was a week long celebration! Hell, I wish it was an entire month. But enough of my complaining, because in all honesty-my Christmas was pretty grand. I got everything I could ever ask for in life...my health, my family, my friends, and my love. I hope everyone had a beautiful weekend filled with lots of joy.

Because I knew you...I have been changed

Last Wednesday, I got one of my Christmas presents early...
My honey surprised me with tickets to see the return of Wicked! I saw it with my family the first time it was in LA back in 2008. But I was extremely excited to see it this time around, because A. I heard the cast is way better. And B. It was Geo's first time, and it's always exciting to share something so near and dear to your heart with someone you love. 
The night was heavenly. It was my first time wearing my new rust and magenta hat, which I got super discounted at BCBG a couple days before. It was the perfect night to wear it. We had dinner at Tender Greens, which if you haven't been, you are really missing out! It's basically gourmet food in a cafeteria like setting. No muss, no fuss. 
Then we made our way to the theeeaaaaattttrrre. To perform at the Pantages one day would be a dream come true. Our seats were as perfect as can be. Right smack in the middle, in the front row of the mezzanine. I must've cried at least 3 times throughout the entire show. Definitely one of my favorites of all time. Thanks for an amazing evening, babe. xoxo

Just some recent pics from my phone...

1.) My hair and makeup for the event I sang at on Saturday. I was going for a 40s vibe. My favorite decade. 
2.) My Christmas present for myself. The gorgeous Winter Kate dress arrived at my doorstep last week, and was an absolute dream to put on. I've been fantasizing over the dress since I first saw it on Nicole Richie at an event a couple months ago. I can't wait to wear it to my best friend's wedding in March. 
3.) I've been living in these red velvet pants from Timeless since I got 'em. They're so warm and so comfy. Plus it goes with practically everything in my closet.
4.) My sister and me at the event I sang at. It was so nice to have my family there to support. Plus the food was absolutely amazing. Especially the cupcakes.

Finally have some Thanksgiving pictures to show you. 
It was spent with family (Nuguid and Ackles) as always, taking lots of pictures, and eating till sickness. Literally. 
We don't do a traditional Thanksgiving meal at my parent's house, which is great since we know we'll have that stuff later on for dinner. Instead we stuffed our faces with lamb, pasta, beef stew, and my sister's homemade cake pops. That's right, homemade! I'll never have to get 'em at Starbucks ever again. 
Dinner at my in-laws was pleasant, up until the last hour when I got so sick I couldn't breathe. So needless to say, I will definitely not be eating like that again next year. 

I can't believe there's only 17 days left til Christmas. Xoxo

The day before Thanksgiving, my sister and I went out on a date. We had been wanting to see Like Crazy since we first saw the trailer a couple months ago. So we got hot dogs at Carney's then trekked over to the Arclight to see it. It was incredibly emotional and really tugged at my heart strings, especially at certain moments that sort of paralleled my life. It leaves you pondering awhile after it's over. I highly recommend it. Plus, I now have such a girl crush on Felicity Jones-what a face! 

My sister comes back for winter break in a couple days! I cannot wait to have more sister dates with her. We have the most fun whenever we're together. 

P.S. The fringe boots I'm wearing, I found at Urban for a mere $30! It has a low heel, super comfy, and fits around my calves (which is rare). I was so ecstatic to take them home.
