thankful.

2012 was very good to me. These are some pictures from my December, Christmas, and New Years Eve. 
1) My friends and I on NYE. 2) One of my favorite light displays at the Symphony of Lights (SoL) in Columbia, MD. If you aren't familiar with this place, its a drive-through lights display. And, it's absolutely perfect. 3) My chocolate advent calendar. Because I definitely still do this. 4) This wonderful breakfast my Mom made a few days after Christmas. Can't tell in the photo but snow was coming down, too! 5) First real snow of the season! 6) SoL 7) New Superman shirt I got for Christmas! 8) A wall of thankfulness at my church. 9) Sprinkles on my Christmas donut that my friend Jacqueline got me. Yum! 10) My cat and my dog being friendly...weird. 11) SoL 12) My friends and I dancing in unison on NYE because we like to get down. 13) Our Christmas tree :) 14) My Aunt and I before leaving to see White Christmas at the Kennedy Center. 15) My adorable kitty, Milo. 16) SoL...yeah I love it a lot. 17) My favorite house on 34th street in Baltimore. Another great place to go during the Holidays. The whole street is completely lit up! 18) Me all dolled up for NYE. RED LIPSTICK! 19) This last panoramic shot was actually just taken this morning. One of the best New Years Eve's that I have ever had. It consisted of lots and lots of dancing, lots of yummy cocktails, a massive slumber party, and a morning filled with dunkin donuts, homemade egg and cheese muffins, coffee, and...a marathon of The Magic School Bus. So epic.
A huge thank you to all my readers and followers. Without you I, well, would probably keep on blogging, but it wouldn't be nearly as much fun :P I'm so excited for 2013 and all the craziness that undoubtedly with ensue! -allie P.S. check out my new superman shirt. love.

I'm in Love // Christmas Edition

Hey guys! This week I'm posting some links to items that were on my Christmas list this year. Yes, I really do still make a Christmas list. Every year my parents request one, so ya know, yeah, I do it. Plus it's fun! :D

This watch from Fossil. Rose gold is just gorgeous. I love how masculine it is with the large face while still being so delicate and feminine.

These studded bracelets from Threads. They are so edgy and fun. Plus, they are made by at risk youth. The proceeds go towards their college fund.

These Hunter rainboot socks. They basically turn your rainboots into snowboots. Genius.

This tumbler from Starbucks. It's pretty.

This book on the history of fashion. The perfect coffee table book for the coffee table I do not own.

And, these boots. They look so freakin comfortable and yet still adorable. I feel like I'd probably wear them non-stop.

*This obligatory picture of my cat has nothing to with anything other than to display the level of cuteness of which he possesses. Also, it's kinda Christmasy?

Good Tunes Tuesday // Snow

This time next week is Christmas day!! I am so excited to see most of my family and get all gussied up. Speaking of getting gussied up...this past Sunday my Aunt took me to see White Christmas at the Kennedy Center in D.C.! It was so much fun getting all dressed up, eating delicious food at The Rumor Mill in Old Ellicott City, and watching a wonderful performance at one of the most beautiful theaters I've ever been to! 

 

White Christmas is arguably my favorite Christmas movie. The music, the actors, and dancing-it's magic. Here is one of my favorite songs from the move:

Hope you are having a wonderful holiday season so far :) Enjoy the last week before Christmas!
