AH. I squealed when I saw this top. Not only was it ridiculously cheap, but the print was almost an exact replica of the Stella McCartney I have been lusting over ... remember Amber Valletta's editorial ? hotness.
I could not resist buying it, even though I fly out to snow-land on Monday.
SO I am feverishly soaking up all the hot weather as I can.
We are headed to a friends beach house tomorrow for the night (LOVE mini road trips!)
Then to the BF's family Christmas circus, on Sunday (HUGE family!)

by the beauties thestylishwanderer & billiejean
but instead of doing 6 unimportant things. i thought i would just do 8 (MY all time favorite number!) things on my mind...
- the ability to travel home for the holidays. Because what is life without family & besties?
-volunteering this holiday season.
-how i will be wrapping all my Christmas gifts with old magazines & recycled ribbon
-the sound of snow beneath my boots. snowflakes. fireplaces. long baths. reading for hours. layers. roasted veggies/soups. catching up with my amazing girlfriends. and giving my family the BIGGEST hug when i see them in the airport... ( Love Actually's airport scenes ALWAYS leave me teary eyed. i am constantly saying goodbye to the people closest to me...)
-listening to- the new STARS - Sad Robots
-the Zimbabwe crisis.
-nyc in february.
-Joe Fresh @ superstore.
very random!
***EDIT- i am off to the beach house ( it is +37 at the moment...ah!!!) so will be MIA from everything until Sunday night. Have a GORGEOUS weekend.***

As soon as I saw your top I thought of the Stella dress with a very similar print. Have a wonderful time over the Christmas period with your friends and family. You really do have the best of both worlds: sun and snow! Lucky you ... Kisses from London

The print of the shirt is absolutely lovely! And i LOVE "Love Actually" even though my friends call me a cheeseball for it.

Oh Mr. Price! Haha, I used to shop there ever so often. Lovely top.

I love wrapping my presents in old newspapers and adding stencil designs to it.

Ah, I'm happy for you being able to see your familia this December. Lovely, lovely stuff. And NYC in Feb, go you!

The Zim crisis always leaves me teary-eyed. Rob Mugabe has brought so much sadness to a once promising nation.

Great post hun.
