I had a fabulous, but exhausting time, and have been catching up on some much needed sleep.
First some holiday snaps:
(I'd just like to point out these were taken the first two days - hence only two outfits. The weather in the last few days was so humid everyone looked like hot messes!)
Our everyday walk up to Times Sqaure.
Spot my Sephora bag - naughty naughty, Carla!
(Scroll down for hauls)
You already know how much I love Barbie. So can I live here, please?
WARNING: Not A Flying Toy!
I ended up seeing Toy Story 3 in 3D Imax and it is absolutely BRILLIANT.
SO true to the series, and I laughed all the way through.
Be warned, you might need some tissues though as I was bauling my eyes out at the end.
On the steps of the Cosby house.
With a classic Black & White Cookie. Nom.
WHO YOU GONNA CALL?!
And now for my cheeky hauls:
Geeky t-shirts from the NBC Store. 3 for $65.
The "Pivot! PIVOT! PIVOT!" scene is my favourite ever Friends moment.
The blooper is amazing too:
My geekier still purchase from the NBC Store.
My Andy Bernard mug from Kelly's 'America's Got Talent Season Finale Party!' - $12.
Good God, I LOVE The Office.
JIM: Make the face?
ANDY: *GRINNNS*
From Forever 21.
CARDIGAN: $26.
SKIRT (Faith 21 range): $15.80.
HAIRBAND: $3.80.
Close up of the fabric on the cardigan! So beautiful!
From Sephora.
SmashBox Primer: $32ish.
Stila Lipgloss: $10ish.
From Patricia Field.
PURSE: $64 (Down from $195!!)
SUNGLASSES: $15ish.
When I showed Daniel the purse, he commented that it looks like something Samantha Jones would carry! Teehee.
(Link/video NSFW, obviously)
It's so pretty!
Oh God, that's me spent up for a while.
But saying that I'm going to the Cluny Craft Market on Sunday with Rachel from Mon Polkadot Cheri (previously known as Polkadot Stripes!), and already have a few items on my shopping list.
Check out the Facebook event page for full listings of who's gonna be there - including the darling Little Miss Delicious.
Please consider going if you're local - it's completely free, and it's always wonderful to support your local, independent designers.
Hope you've all been keeping well since I've been away.
I've now got over 400 followers - thank you, thank you so much!
Muchos love,
MessyCarla.
OMG I want The Office stuff!
