Holiday Haul!

Whew--Christmas can be exhausting!
Luckily, though, I got essentially a whole new wardrobe, which is great and exciting!
So, below the break are the pieces I'm most excited about.

First, I obviously got a ton of things from Gap a few days ago, just for fun. The first on that list is this lovely cream, cable-knit sweater. It's full-price online, but in stores I bought mine for about $40, then a discount off of sale, I think. And, actually, two weeks ago, I bought the teal version of this sweater as well--they're incredibly comfortable.

I also picked up this sparkly tee!

The next thing I bought from Gap was this beautiful puffy vest! I actually bought this one online, and I got it for... wait for it... THIRTEEN DOLLARS. Crazy, right? I had all the right coupons, it seemed.

Most of the other things from Gap that I bought were underwear and bras, so we needn't go into that. Onto my presents!

The first thing I received was this beautiful scarf from my younger sister. It's from a store called Handpicked, which is a small boutique near my house, and though I don't go in there often, this scarf is beautiful--it's washed-out orange and navy plaid, and I think I'll wear it all the time!

Now, I went shopping with my mom only two weeks or so ago, so I knew most of my presents from her. They were mostly from J. Crew, so we'll start there.

This first tee is one I'd had my eyes on for some time now, and I'm so glad that I finally have it! Just as a forewarning, I own probably every French tee J. Crew has made. Seriously. This one means 'live the dream'.

vivez le reve tee, $25.

The next thing I got from J. Crew is this gorgeous Tilly sweater! I love the new style--it's a bit shorter than the Tippy, which gives it a lovely modern silhouette!
