Feeling Festive

Good day! Are you getting into the Christmas spirit as much as I am? My goal is

to really make the most out of winter this year, so why not go all out this season?

I'm usually not one for holidays and things like that. I think it's because I grew up

in a relatively poor family and I hated the pressure to spend money. Not to mention

my family is highly dysfunctional. I mean, an alcoholic father and bipolar mother....

let's just say, things didn't always go so smoothly! But I'm an adult now and it's up

to me to create my own home and fill my life with happiness and things that make

me giddy. Take Kobe's Christmas jester collar for example, I can't help but smile

when I see this on him! How could I not?! He's so darn cute.

Now, although this skirt is sheer and doesn't provide a bit of warmth, something

about it just feels like Christmas. It was once upon a time my baptismal dress.

Haha, don't worry! I was baptized at the age of five or so, I wasn't just a really

big baby! I had originally wanted to wear a pair of ankle boots, but girl, it's too

darn cold for that! These boots are lined so they're incredibly warm. I'm pretty

excited, I've got three more holiday inspired looks. Think red, sparkles, green,

and all things pretty! The whole sparkly thing is something new to me. I usually

stay far away from glitter and sparkles. I don't even like diamonds.  It'll be a

nice break from the norm though, add a little glitz to my life. I need that glitz to

distract me too. Kobe has been attacked two more times and the other day I

had a stalker! Maybe dogs are picking on Kobe 'cause of his collar. Who

knows. Moving from the suburbs to downtown didn't turn out quite as I had

imagined.Yes, I need that glitz as a reminder to stay care-free and have fun!
