So I’m certainly a little late in saying it on my blog, but Happy New Year to you all!

Definitely a lot has happened since I last blogged. And I’ve also done some shopping since then, too.

At Guess, for 50% off I got Felidia ankle boots, in black. They’re sort of angled really awkwardly so I don’t suggest walking anywhere in these. If you’re going to walk a few steps and then sit down and look pretty, these are the shoes for you! Of course I wear a size 5 so wearing heels is harder for me than it is for Tyra Banks and her size 11 feet. They sure do look fierce though! 3.5 inch heels.

A new favorite online store of mine, Lulus.com, has some fabulous purses and really cute clothing! I fell in love with two handbags immediately, but to get free shipping I needed to spend a little bit more so I also got this dress called the “Dinner and a Movie Mini Dress”. Being as short as I am (5 ft) I seriously doubt the dress will look that short on me. I love V-neck and square cut tops/dresses and this just seems perfect!

This item is no longer available! ($21.50)

Flying Solo Handbag in Ash Grey ($35.00)

Stephanie Cable Knitted Sweater Bag in Cream ($39.50) This item is no longer available!

It seems Lulus only stocks a relatively small quantity of an item and then they replace it with newer items all the time so if you see something you like I suggest buy it as soon as possible! (:

Then as I was looking around online I also stumbled across Asos.com, which is definitely a bit pricier, but still really amazing! They’re based in the UK so shipping takes a while but their selection is really great! You can always look around to see what’s on sale (which is what I did!)

ASOS Twist Lock Mary Jane Shoes ($36.71)

ASOS Satin Pleated Peep Toe Platform Shoe ($15.00)

ASOS ‘Velvet Feel’ 80 Denier Opaque Black Tights ($7.35) Tights are really in right now, to wear with dresses, shorts, skirts! I can’t wait to wear them… I’m sure I’ll feel warmer, too! I want to try these on with my wardrobe first before I go buying bright colors.

ASOS PETITE Sweat Dress ($36.71) I just thought this was the cutest thing!! I am really excited to wear this (with my new black tights, too~)

To update on the Kira Plastinina things I ordered… the shoes, which only come in half sizes was labeled 5.5 but ugh… they fit more like a 6 or even a 6.5 and so I gave them to my aunt. So perhaps order a size smaller if you want to get her shoes but despite them being too big they were the CUTEST most comfy 4 inch high heeled shoes everrr~

I’ve also done some shopping at Forever 21 and American Eagle recently but it’s too much to look online and get all the items here. I’ve already gone picture crazy!!

My family celebrated on New Year’s Eve by waiting until midnight and then we all watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (thanks to “TomFlix”) and unfortunately we didn’t know it was nearly 3 hrs long! But we endured until about 4am to watch. Oh and my Aunt Elvia gave us all money, too! (: I got $1000~! Haaay! But I have to save it for rent money… ugh, what a drag.

Then when we woke up on the 1st my mother, brother, aunt, and I went to Las Vegas! So we spent our New Year celebrating there and we stayed until Saturday morning, by which time we had to go back to celebrate my little cousin’s 12th birthday. (:

On Sunday, Sandy and I got back to Santa Barbara. School starts tomorrow technically, but I only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays!!! (: Yay for the bomb schedule!!! And lol… I’m going back on Thursday night because I’ll be going to see Wicked on Saturday. Ahhh traveling is so hectic and not fun.

Oh yes…! And I surpassed my goal of watching 150 Movies in 2008 by watching 179 movies! It was part of a challenge at Pour-soi.net and I got this nice little gift:

I’m thinking of doing the challenge again this year and also the 12 books in 2009 challenge. I’m very dedicated to reading right now so I’m going to take that motivation and run with it!!! ^_^ My goals for tomorrow are to finish reading Eclipse and purchase all my school textbooks for Winter Quarter.

2 am?! Goodnight all!
