Dreaming of a PINK Christmas

My love for the color pink is unending. It's been my favorite color always, so it's actually kinda surprising I've yet to do any pink color themed posts thus far. I guess I get caught up in whats trending at the moment. It's a disorder caused by working retail I think.


Anyway! Every year I tend to lean more towards a pink and green combo when it comes to my Christmas outfits and it just so happens I've been finding a lot of wonderful pink Christmas lovelies while browsing the web. So here's my second Christmas post...and probably my last until next year. I still have lots of wrapping to do and I have a feeling my gifts will most likely be covered in pink.

And of course, stick around til the end to see a wonderful Etsy Treasury I've curated just for you! :)

Pink Christmas FLASHBACK!! My pink Christmas outfit from last year. Made that necklace using an ornament of course and check out that curly cue ribbon adorning my purple hair!

(Already have a pink outfit picked out for this year)

Holiday Check In: Gifts and Homemade Party Outfits

Back to the normalness of life! I can start my blogging& jewelry making frenzy now. School is over for good...and work is a little nutso (Forever 21 before, after, and in between any holiday is straight chaos...ALWAYS)

So there was some unexpected personal things that happened to me pre-Christmas and it kinda put me in a sad place :(, but I found my way out because..well thats just what you gotta do! I made some lovely and obnoxious (to say the least) Christmas jewelry and outfits to adorn myself with for a few parties Instant mood brightening. ;) Sparkles EVERYWHERE. If you need to find me, just follow the glitter trail.

Night Number One...Christmas Eve Eve (Yes before the before)

  
All I did was stick an ornament on a chain and matching ribbons in my hair...Boom and Boom.
So if ever in a need for Christmas cheer next year...just go to Hobby Lobby a couple days before Christmas and you will probably pay like $2 for an ornament and a dollar for some ribbon cuz everything's on sale. Super smart and cheap.

Christmas Eve

My family decided to have an "ugly sweater" contest...and so of course I had to make something. See that picture in the middle? That's my Christmas baby photo from 1988...whaaaaat?! This took me a one and a half Hallmark Christmas movies to complete, but I didn't win because "it wasn't ugly enough...just too cute" which I think is just ridiculous, but oh well.

The rest of the uglies.

Christmas Day

Basically just dressed up like a candy cane. And of course put a bow on our banana, Josep. 

I asked for 3 things this Christmas and my spoiled little self got all of them! 

1. Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty

Pretty much one of the coolest books I own... I love it. It's a biography of McQueen (who is one of my biggest inspirations ever) with quotes and photos of works from most of his collections which were exhibited at the Met. God.. I wish I could've gone to that exhibit. If you like anything involving art, fashion, nature, pretty much anything thats awesome, this man is like....ahhh I can't even explain. Just get this. 

2. The phone case I wanted from my previous blog post: Different: Artsy IPhone Cases

3. A marker case for all the markers I bought myself for Christmas!!

Well, I hope everyone else had a great Christmas...I will definitely be making some accessories for my New Years outfit. Bought my dress today. I probably won't get a chance to post any blogs until after New Years, but I've accumulated some really great things I'm dying to share! And a lot of jewelry I've been working on that I want to reveal! So look forward to some more posts very soon! :)
