So! What have you been doing/drinking/wearing/buying?! I miss you! I have new hair that I will be posting about-hint, the bangs are BACK, and I have been running around with my crazypants on all weekend, shopping, post officing, wrapping, and working. Shoot me in the face. I mean, yay.
Kathleen at Just a Small Town Girl is the winner of Downtown Chic! Merry Christmas, lovebug! I will hand deliver it to you in Vegas.
In other news, I had my first family Christmas party on Sat night that I am still recovering from. Child of divorce=like 4 family Christmas celebrations. I'll be honest. I started to get a little emo getting ready, worrying about the whole "single" thing. I may have cried and called Brooke. But then, you know...it passes. For lack of a better phrase, I got my shit together. Took a deep breath. Put some more mascara on.
And baby jesus had my BACK. Because while this side of my family-the Colombian side-always likes the umm sauce, and parties hard...this year we took it to new levels..high or low? I can't really decide. It was ridiculously fun, and nobody had to be on their best behavior because of a boyfriend/stranger/guest being there, you know?
My dad-the Colombian corporate financial planner marathon runner social butterfly who still sees Gabby and I as 12 yr olds- was informed of my blog.
The scene-Dads House-new boots, wine in hand, presents to the left, lots of food to the right.
My dad-the Colombian corporate financial planner marathon runner social butterfly who still sees Gabby and I as 12 yr olds- was informed of my blog.
Oh noes!
I think he was pretty impressed though...but I CERTAINLY pray he doesn't read it. I know hope he was a lil tipsy when I showed him, because after seeing this lil piece of heaven, he started proclaiming just about everything UNBEWEAVABLE!! The steak he was grilling? "It's Unbeweavable!" My stepmom realizing that she did, in fact, have internet on her phone? "It's Unbeweavable!" Taylor Swift's Christmas CD? (Don't ask) "It's Unbeweavable!"
Good times. It really was. I was one hundred percent focused (as much as one can be 100 percent focused when she's on her 4th glass of wine, that is) on just being present with my family, and it was nice. First single girl Christmas celebration will be filed under "Success". Booya. 3 more to go...
So to bribe you make up for me being non existent in bloggyland this weekend and probably this week, let's do another giveaway!! Happy Holidays, dollfaces.

So to bribe you make up for me being non existent in bloggyland this weekend and probably this week, let's do another giveaway!! Happy Holidays, dollfaces.
Etsy Shop Isette is full of gorgeous, whimsical things, including some mustache necklaces and earrings...just sayin, Summer. :) Today's giveaway is the lovely Mane Necklace.
This necklace features a Victorian flourish with just the hint of a lion's head in the center. Made with laser cut black acrylic, the necklace focal is 3 inches wide. Sterling silver chain and clasp - this piece is adjustable from 16 to 18 inches.
I love it. Kinda badass, no? Badass Victorian. We'll be getting to know Isette more in 2010, so this is just a lil teaser and intro.
Just leave a comment, make sure you're a follower..and the winner will be announced on Wed!! Be sure to check out Isette too :)
Happy Monday, miss your faces...and Happy Birthday to my girl Erika aka Ms.Cafe Fashionista! Love you!!!!
I love this...watching it right now. Le sigh.
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaking suspicion... love actually is all around."- Love Actually

I'm pretty dorky that way, as you'll come to know.
R.I.P B Murphy :( I loved her in Girl, Interrupted and 8 Mile and Just Married and Clueless and... you know?
AND OHH EMME GEEE you got another haircut? You must spend more on your hair than you do on shoes!
Congrats to K for winning the giveaway, you lucky bitch!
And aw@ the whole crying thing. You don't need a man :) You have a whole bunch of us and our increasingly weird lesbian vibes ;)
And HAPPY B'DAY, E! I just FB walled her.
And I love that quote from Love Actually, as well.
Okay this comment is as long as a post so I'm going to run.
Love you! XO
Happy holidays :)
I AM A LUCKY BITCH!
hoo-freaking-ray! You have no idea how badly I need this, but you will soon...! When are you coming to visit?!?!
Soooo excited... and so sad about Brittany Murphy. "Rollin' with the homies."
I'm also pretty whacked out on Nyquil. Werd.
Love Actually is the best movie, really I love it.
"Worse than the total agony of being in love."
Sums it up quite nicely.
i like that quote :)
i watch love actually this weekend and i thought how great is the opening line!
Glad your first Xmas celebration went well and LOVELOVELOVE the boots!
lovely giveaway,lady! count me in...pleeeaaazzzzze!
Liz... I didn't win the book, now let me win this necklace.
Great that you were so behaved with your family... hahaha! It's unbeweavable.
Show us the bangs because I plan to have my bangs too. And happy birthday to dear Erika!
You always have amazing giveaways! Thanks so much :)
Merry single christmas!
Gorgeous necklace! I'd love to enter. Have a happy holiday! I know I'm really grateful to have discovered your blog. :-)
Sounds like my family Christmas - booze, booze and more booze!
Enjoy the rest of your Christmases! Think of me, while your sipping on glass number 5, driving 20 hours in a shitbomb car in the stiffling heat with a crazy mutt in the back. I'll be cracking a beer the second we pull into my bro's driveway - that is a dead cert!
Oh and if you wanna spring to postage to this land of sunshine... I'm loving that necklace and it would look shit hot hanging around my neck!
So sad about Brittany Murphy.. :(
I discovered Isette on etsy earlier this year.. her designs are so lovely.. I love the whimsy about it.. I adore the mustace necklaces and rings that she makes it! So fun. The Mane necklace is quite beautiful as well. Crossing my fingers. :)
Love & Aloha, Sharon

Love Actually is one of my all-time favourite movies and I always watch it at least once at this time of year!
First of all, Love Actually is the most perfect movie ever. I ALWAYS watch it during Christmastime, and whenever I'm feeling a little sad and lonely. This quote is just perfect.
I'm sorry that you were having a rough time...the holidays can be really tough - but I'm especially glad that you have such a fabulous family that you can count on - and your dad sounds too funny for words! =)
I hope the rest of your holiday is just fabulous - feel free to email/text/call whatever if you need someone to talk to =) Love you, girl!

Winter Love Horoscopes: Your love predictions for December 2009-March 2010 -
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Relationships won't be all that easy for you to deal with this winter, but if you're conscious about how you can work around the difficulties, you can survive -- or even do better than that. Mars will be taking a long retrograde break in your 7th House of One-to-One Interaction, so expect the people you deal with to offer you at least a little bit of aggravation. Flexibility is the key word -- work on it as much as possible. If you're single, Mars could also bring you a lot of more action on the relationship front than usual. This could be good, even if it means you have to give a little just to get a little bit of romance. You'll be ultra accommodating in January and early February while Venus is in your sign, then in March you'll have an easier time putting your feelings into words without losing the cool head and rational mind you're famous for. Give yourself extra credit for improvement.
What do u think?
XOXO
Amy
You don't need a man to make you happy. I'm so glad to hear your first single christmas was a success :) It should be! You don't need someone else to define you... you stand beautifully on your own two feet.
Enjoy this time with your family... live in the present.
Merry Christmas dollface :)
oh, and I wanna be in the giveaway :)
Oh my gosh that was so funny at your dad's....Unbeweavable!
Nice boots babe.
xxx
Just think,
all that money you're saving by not having to buy a boyfriend presents, you can spend on yourself. Sexy new shoes or makeup or a hot bag!
Umm, I second "Cuddleslut" haha i dropped way too much on my boy. BTW i can totally see my dad doing that... they are soo goofy trying to relate, eh?? Very cute mental image though. So, thanks for that! :) mwah!
