Presents!!

I was very fortunate to get some really AWESOME presents this year. Here they are, and there are a few more to come. My boyfriend and I exchanged late so those pics will be up soon. I hope santa treated everyone well:)

Some items that I opened to late to post are all gifts from my boyfriend - I'll post them later. They are:
-Tiffany's double heart necklace engraved with an "E"
-Missoni scarf
-Photobook
-Sparkly black Toms
-Arm warmers/gloves from Norstrom
-Engraved wooden wine opener
-A one night stay in my favorite hotel in London when he comes to visit in May!


He went WAY overboard.

A gift basket from my boyfriend's mom (she organized it when I thought I was going to study abroad in Paris. I decided on London though). Includes: a canvas purse, silver necklace, London and Paris guides, a Paris-themed notebook, nutella, croissants and a decorative bin.



The two books my sister got me to help prepare myself for my time in NYC!!!



Fun bauble necklace, new makeup brushes, Gap makeup bag and a NARS lip gloss - all from my mom.






Various gloves: black iPhone friendly gloves, blue sequin arm warmers from Nordstrom, gray and magenta arm warmers and army green Ann Taylor Loft gloves.




Gap multi-colored, sparkly flats.

Ann Taylor Loft army green/gray leather coat. My first real leather coat!


Ann Taylor Loft army green wool blazer with fur collar! So excited to wear this in NYC and London!
