a little holiday love

i can't believe it's december!!! i can't believe christmas is THIS MONTH. i love me some holidays...this morning, i jammed out to the american idol christmas cd....that kelly clarkson tears up "my grownup christmas list."

i spent the weekend getting my house ready for the holidays...it's a little amateur, but until i actually have a dining room table and a nice upstairs....this will have to do.

that man on the tv is a storm chaser. but he's not as cool as reed timmer. who i didn't know exisited until the hubs and i got sucked into a 4 hour storm chasers marathon on discovery.

but back to the task at hand....i finally decided to rock out our mantle for the holidays. our officiant and his wife (who i LOOOOOVE, and pretend are my in-laws since my MIL is...lets just say less than desirable) gave us the candlesticks in the middle last time we visited them. DC is a ROCKSTAR when it comes to scoring deals at flea markets and such....those sticks are all crystal, not glass. CRYSTAL. and she got them all for like...$15 or something insane. one day she will teach me her ways...

the fat silver candlesticks? i got those FREE like 3 years ago from ulta, it was one of those "free with any $30 fragrance purchase" or something....i still love em.\

once we get our tree all situated...i'll get a picture with my actual camera...

and what goes best with holiday decorations??

THESE.

omg ya'll....i love love LOVE these bad boys.

they have tiny crunchies on the outside....TINY. CRUNCHIES.

they're like junior mints' better looking, cooler, captain of the cheerleading squad cousin. if they were in "glee"....they'd be puck. and regular junior mints would be finn. they're good...but not as good. or delicious.

alternate title:: i swear i bought some stuff as presents..


i'm about to blow your fashion-forward, blog-loving minds....


i live in a place.....with NO forever 21. not one. not one within 100 miles.


and i LOOOOOOOVE forever 21. especially the accessories. so....when i saw their cyber monday promotion was free shipping...i was on it like white on rice.


i got an adorable double-tiny key necklace for my sis....and my 5th grade cousin will soon be rocking a purple and pink leopard print scarf...she's so gonna be the hottest kid in class.


and then.....i bought a little somethin' somethin' for myself...how much do i LOVE this headband?! braided satin...and the color? with my oh-so-not-natural red hair?? gorge. and hello.....less than $4.
oh i love love LOVE these earring....so pretty, and sparkly...and so fun with....something in my closet. is it wrong to accessorize nothing?
and my faves are hands down these. i actually got them in all black for one of my bridesmaids, who's pretty much the queen of black and dark silver earrings. i adore the blue...and it'll be gorgeous with a grey sweater....and my rockstar boots.

all in all....i got 11 things. for $53. get in on the free shipping with CYBERMONDAY until midnight tonight!!

snuggling up for santa

hello, my name is hayley, and i'm a flannel PJ addict.

i honestly get at least 2 or 3 pairs every. single. year. either for myself, or as gifts because everyone knows how much i love them. last year...it was a zebra striped pair from my sis, and lawn flamingoes outside of airstream trailers from mom.

don't be jealous.

2 years ago, victoria's secret had some ADORABLE pjs....but las year? BLAH. they all sucked.

i'm so happy VS is back on their game!!

how cute and classy are these pink feathers? so girly!! i'll also note...i'm pretty opposed to christmas pj's....because i don't like wearing them after christmas. so winter = okay. santa = not okay.
okay.and more pink....these are called "vintage postcard" i think....i love the look, and they remind me of another pair i have with fun "stamps" on them.


and my absolute fave are these....they're hot pink, the script is precious....and they're hot pink.
here's a few more things i love about VS pjs....you can order them in short, regular, and long. oh bless those VS peeps for their long pants...cuz see, i'm 5'10" without any shoes on. and ALL my height is in my legs. awesome for skirts....NOT awesome for pjs that end up being highwaters.
and the best part?? right now....they're $39.50. until tomorrow, use the code ITEM20 for 20% off. AND use PJGIFT for free matching slippers with your new sleep duds!!
so for about $40...you get hot sleepwear, fun shoes...and more money in your bank account.
this is also a GREAT present for an aunt or cousin or great friend!!

outfitting my peeps

i will admit it...i think novelty tees are hilarious. always have. i was totally THAT GIRL back in college, rocking every funny shirt american eagle came out with.

now...i don't wear them as much....but i'm SO not above buying them for my peeps for christmas.

so here's my current fave selection from snorg tees.

oh dane cook...you crack me up.

is it wrong for your husband, and his sister-in-law, aka my little sis, to rock the same shirt? cuz i am SO getting them both one of these for christmas.
t. pain 4 life ya'll.
and....these next 2 are for my blog crushes, Kristen and Summer. i hope ya'll don't think i'm a stalker...but i couldn't NOT share these if you hadn't seen them already =)



i'm also planning on getting the hubs a shirt or 2 from Think Geek. but i can't share those....because i have to keep some semblance of my girly street-cred....and the nerdboy shirts don't do that....

smelling yummy when it's cold

i'm very much a scent fiend...i LOVE perfume, lotion, shower gel, all that jazz...but i'm also very fickle with my affections. it totally depends on the day, my mood, my outfit, everything...i'll NEVER be a signature scent kind of girl.

and i totally have a new fave for fall, from a surprising place....bath and body works.
this, is twilight woods. (cue edward cullen swoon for all my meyer fans out there!). it smells so yummy....sort of vanilla-y...but with more notes. it's very....warm.

can you tell i'm not so good at this whole describing scents thing? i'm a yummy girl through and through.

and the best part?? if you want some for yourself...or maybe you're stocking up on gifts for those aunts and cousins who are hard to buy for...i've got a deal for you.

right now....B&BW is having buy 3, get 3 free for their signature collection. which is a rockstar deal....but you KNOW i'm gonna make it better.

until november 22nd, CLICK HERE to print your coupon for $10 off $30. which means you can get 6 things...for about $20.

i've already done it once...but i may do it again. just because.

also, p.s....where have you gone 2 followers?? am i not witty enough for you? was it the whole pimp analogy from last week?
