Friday's Fancies: Express Yourself!

So just in case y'all were wondering...no, I wasn't the Arizona Powerball Lottery winner. 

 I know, sad face. 

Because if I was, I would already be out blowing my money on some of these glee-inducing lovelies...

So it's supposed to be an outfit that's "totally you", but this is all stuff I really *WANT*, so that's pretty much the same thing, right?

I've been craving a pair of Hunter boots...I'm not really sure what I plan on doing with them, seeing as it really hardly ever rains or snows here...but I just like 'em.

And any outfit with color, sequins, or polka dots is A-Okay in my book...so this is the *trifecta*. 

So if you won $500 million, what would you be getting???

Linkin' it up:

Cotton Headed Ninny Muggings...

Oh how I love a great Christmas flick...Elf has got to be on the top of my list of "Must watch" around Christmas...

So I think I might want to buy this for my children:

Amazon

No, not for me...not exactly my style...plus I'm pretty positive that by Christmas it's going to be *OH* so fitting for the little buggers. (c;

And for mama, my *actual* Christmas list (aka, the stuff I might actually see under the tree (c; ):

One / Two / Three / Four / Five 

One ~ I've been too cheap to plop down the 30 bones for this bad boy, but I'm pretty sure it smells just like heaven.

Two ~ I have been drooling over this bauble for a great while and dropping subtle MAJOR hints that I would like it for Christmas to the hubster (c;

Three ~ I have been on the hunt for a camel colored pencil skirt for *quite* some time (you would think that would be simple to find. FYI, it's *NOT*)...and with that gorgeous color blocking, I'm a goner.

Four ~ I adore this for sipping my hot cocoa, *gold monogram*, need I say more???

Five ~ I think I have finally jumped on the collar train and I want this one to be the first in a very large collection...

Sooooo...what do you think??? Missing anything?

And more importantly, what are you coveting this holiday? Y'know, so I can copy and add a whole bunch more stuff to my list (c;

Get treated like Royalty...

I've made no secret of my love affair with this skirt silhouette as of late...and this one stripey skirt in particular.

How can you not love that decidedly girly look of a fit and flare skirt???

Alas, the Corilyn version is sold out in my size and let's face it, I wasn't going to be justifying the $100+ price tag any time soon...I mean to the husband...to *me*, it's completely justified!

IT'S GORGEOUS!

And then, hallelujah, completely by serendipity, I stumbled upon this little gem of an Etsy shop:

And besides the fact that I adore her cute little catch phrase, I just can't ignore the fantasticness that is the skirt/dress goodness:

Green Stripe Skirt 

LOVING the black stripe version...

This one may or may not be currently in first place for my affections...

Black Skirt 

And lest you think that I'm doing this post because I've been compensated in some way, let me assure you that Sandee has no *freakin'* clue who I am or that I am completely and unadulterated head over heels for her gorgeous skirts (c;

Another perk? You get to send her *your measurements* and she makes the skirt accordingly.

Brilliant.

Jackpot.

Christmas list.

And don't you just love how Kate Spade-ish it all is??? Yup, she's pretty bril. 

Too Early?

I've already started my Christmas list.

Yeah, I know, that sounds like a super greedy, Veruca Salt kind of move...but I'm pretty sure *everyone* is going to want to add this to the top of their Christmas list:

Yup. Christmas, people.

And if I'm already crying over the stupid *trailer*...you know this is going to be *AWESOME* (c:

Christmas List: Kokoon!!!

Still looking for some of those presents or looking for something pretty for yourself? 

Then you definitely need to head over to Kokoon for their fantastic pop-up sale!

And for the perfect gift for everyone on your list:

I love giving...but it's kinda nice to get a little kickback as well, am I right??? (c:

Crazytown

So did you all survive Black Friday???

Hopefully this is just a joke and not a reality for any of you hard core Black Friday-ers...

And on to more important things like making my Christmas wish list (c:

And I know y'all are confused by this last one...you're all like "but Aubrey, you don't cook...like *AT ALL*...why would you want that???"

So true...and so the reason is slightly ridiculous...because it would look adorable in my kitchen (c:

Don't worry, I would use it at least once. (c:

I can't quite put my finger on why I love these so much...they actually kind of remind me of something that a crazy golfer would wear...but still, I love them...are we detecting a little of a color scheme here???

And don't even get me started on Christmas decorations...no wait...YES, get me started on it because I did a whole post on it over at Kristy's super fun blog...

Hyphen Interiors!!!

Drop by and say hi and get those creative juices flowing!!! (c:

Christmas List: Fine Pillow Covers!

What is the easiest and most cost effective way to update a room???

Switch out your pillow covers.

BAM! Whole new room! (c:

And I know just the place to get them...

Fine Pillow Covers!

As a self-proclaimed pillow junkie, I'm completely head over heels!

Her selection is *insane*...every color under the sun...*literally*!

 

And the best part is that she has insanely good pricing...so I think I might be able to talk the husband into getting me *ALL* the pillows on my wishlist:

Oh and honey?!? I need two of each of those, please!

Thanks, you're a doll! (c:

And wouldn't it be fun to spruce things up for the holidays?

These would be darling:

Or these would be fun, too, especially since you can get the pair of them for $34!

And forget Christmas, just for every dang day:

I can see that my list is growing by the second....(c:

So hop on over and catch a good deal before the holidays mess everything up get here! (c:

Fine Pillow Covers! 

Fine Pillow Covers is a holiday sponsor, but dang it if I don't just absolutely adore her pillow selection!!!

Speaking of fabulous...

OMGosh...

Have you seen what's new at KOKOON, lately???

The must-sees that I was missing out on:

Sexy little party number:

Going classy, perfect little LBD:

And how fun is this print on this darling little mod number?

And last but nowhere *NEAR* least is this AMAZINGNESS:

Behold, the Straight to Elle Skirt:

I mean, you can't tell me that whole outfit isn't just *PERFECTION*! I am such a sucker for a pencil skirt, but this one is INSANELY GOOD!!! Come to mama!!! And are you kidding me with that "The Good Wife Blouse"??? Tie necks make me weak in the knees...

The cut, the print, the BOLD color! You know that has "me" written all over it!

That just made it to the top of my Christmas list!

And P.S.-

No, I did not go to the midnight showing of Breaking Dawn...

Okay, that's a lie.
And I'm a little tired, but *SO* worth it! Just me and all the screaming 12 year-old girls...oh and my sister that I made go with me (c:

Admit it, you're jealous that I'm so dorky (c;

And Update:

And P.S. the movie was freakin' awesome! Team Edward all the way and all that jazz. Oh and Bella's wedding shoes are the *SHIZ*...and it confirmed to me the fact that I need these lounge pants *DESPERATELY*...when you see the movie, you will understand (c:
