Outfit: New Years Eve//2012 Pt.2

Asos

Fashion: Jason Wu//Target

Designer to the stars, Jason Wu is designing for Target!! Also famously known as the designer of First Lady Obama's white gown that she wore to the inaugural ball. This is very special...for some reason I didn't know about this until a few hours ago when S told me about it. Where have I been?? Hmm...I guess there's only one thing on my mind these days;)

This is going to be a good one...I can feel it!!!

Since minimalism is the only way to go these days, this Cerruti Baleri Mac Gee Modern bookshelf is exactly what the doctor ordered:) Ok, ok...it's way too pricey, but the look is great...don't you think?

A Saturday in my Life!//Pt. 2

For those of you who don't know...I  was born and raised in Sweden to Eritrean parents. I was lucky enough to be born into a family of love and great friendships. My parents were and are very much in love and my siblings are the most wonderful people you'll ever meet....I know, I know...this is where I say "despite the fact that they get on my nerves", but really I think I along with my obsessive/compulsive/controlling/"clean that up right now" personality is the one to get on peoples nerves. What can I say, I get it from my daddy. Either way, I've been lucky.

From the time I can remember I've always had a wonderful Christmas. My mother used to make us all dress up...my sister and I used to get our hair done and my beautiful Mamina (that's what we call her) wore her latest Eritrean dress along with her best gold. She always looked stunning, and every time my father would look at her as if it was the first time he laid eyes on her. I always loved their relationship and felt blessed that they were so open about their love when our culture is far from showing the kind of love that my father showed my mother. I have no idea if my writing is making any sense right now...but wharrreverrr!

Sooo, to my next point. Where I'm from we celebrate Christmas today, the 24th of December. I've spent the entire day moping around, because I've been alone. Yes, yes...I sound pathetic:) It's true though, in America, Christmas is spent on the 25th, hence, I'm alone on the 24th, as this is the day where people spend their time last minute shopping. Anywhooo, here I am being super not grateful.

Today I realized that I need to get over myself and just be thankful for everything and everyone that I have in my life. I'm kind of weirded out by myself that it had to get this dramatic for me to appreciate what I have in my life.

With that said....Merry Christmas beautiful people. Thank you for everything!!!

Style: Fancy Pants

Who doesn't love a splash of color. How dreamy would it be to have a tux for New Year in this pink color. I don't know what's going on with me right now, but I kind of love the idea of PINK:) How very Barbie of me.

Hello You// :)

Outfit: New Years Eve//2012

I kind of want to wear this for New Years Eve. What do you guys think? I actually have no plans of going anywhere, but I'm obviously still outfit hunting. I would totally wear it around the house and look fabulous!!! I may in fact do the tux. It's fabulous.

Made by me: Yellow Tea dress // At the Mayor's ball

This dress actually has a bare back, but obviously I didn't get that in a picture. There is such a long story with this thing, but because I'm not evil I will not share it. Hope you guys are having a great Sunday aaaand that you're finishing up for Christmas.
