…for these beautiful things.
Givenchy Antigona duffel in black croc-embossed calf leather and gold hardware
Givenchy emerald green large zip pouch.
I wanted a kick-ass luxe black duffle for the winter and an emerald green something something for the New Year.
Santa heard my wishes and delivered!
I have been a very good wifey and cooked a lot of good food for my hubby this year.
So, payback time. Ho! ho! ho!
I hope you’re enjoying the rest of the holidays! xx
I refuse to buy gifts for my friends for Christmas because it just always seems forced ( and too just-for-the-sake-of) and I would rather spoil them on their birthdays ( and I do!).
But I do make an exemption with kids. This holiday is really all about them and Baby Jesus of course. And this year, I’m playing one of Santa’s elves and I’m definitely not going to be Chandler (Friends Season 10: Chandler and Monica Adoption – YouTube) and reveal that god awful truth.
So two kids on my shopping list, three and four, both wanted dogs. Easy. But I couldn’t find a box big enough to fit them. So here’s the solution;
Put a big-ass bow around its neck. Adorable. This bulldog looks emasculated. I’m scared for you buddy, that 2.5 ft. terrorist will make you suffer. Best of luck.
In my attempt to stay organic this Christmas, I found some brown paper in my garage and re-used it as a wrapper and bought some green paper ribbons.
My friend’s 9 year old already knows what he wants, so a hóngbāo or a chinese red envelope with shopping money is perfect.
Gift-wrapping in 15 minutes. I am so Zen, I swear.
Don’t stress and always keep things simple.
Happy Holidays and Happy Shopping! xx
The Harmonie du Soir eyeshadow palette.
I adore the golden bronze and plum red shades! It’s quite unique and very festive, so fitting for an updated holiday look. The taupe and light pink shades are very easy colors to play with for simpler everyday makeup, so this palette can actually take you all the way to Spring. So when you think about it, it’s worth the splurge.
The packaging and the gorgeous quilted double C stamp. Love.
Rouge Allure Velvet lipstick in No. 39 La Somptueuse.
It’s exactly what is says it is. Velvety. This deep wine red shade is beautiful. It’s the sweeter, less vampy sister of L’impatiente ( which made me look like a corpse). But hey, more power to all those who can carry black red lipsticks, because I can’t!
Chanel Le Vernis in 637 Malice.
In my opinion, this is the star of this Holiday collection. I cannot get enough of this nail color! It’s the most elegant burgundy hue with bits of shimmer. I do keep a small collection of Chanel polishes and I have to say, this has got to be the winner! I’m seriously considering buying two more bottles!
What’s in your holiday makeup wish list?
Happy Shopping! xx
