Happy Thanksgiving! Better late then never :p

Hello dolls!

I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving with lotsa turkey & yummy food, followed by food comas, and seconds! I know i did :p

I think Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, cuz of all the delicious food, the packed grocery stores which excite me, all the giving people do around the holiday, and how the excitement doesnt stop right after the holidays! Its actually just the beginning! Black Friday, packed shopping malls, Christmas music, all the holiday cheer and decor! LOOOOOVE IT!

Here are some random Blackberry shots i got from this years Thanksgiving! Not enough, but it'll do!

This years Thanksgiving dinner consisted of Honey Baked Ham Store oven roasted turkey! Simply thee best i tell you! Ham, stuffed peppers, green bean casserole, rolls, potato salad, mashed potatoes, & corn! 

& i made my first Spinach Dip! I found the recipe on Pinterest, & its a Keebler recipe. It was absolutely delicious! And even better the next day! I was actually in Target yesterday and gawddd everything was on sale! So i stalked up on tons of spinach and cream cheese and i shall be making it again soon! If youd like the recipe i followed, let me know :)

Our day started out with snacking on Spinach Dip with crackers while we girls prepared all the food and table, and the boys watched the football game! Then my sisters boyfriend & my younger cousin arrived and we all sat down to dinner! After dinner we watched Christmas classics like Home Alone & napped before we headed out to do some Black Friday shopping at our local mall, which opened at 11pm. I met my friend Kaitlin there, & shopped till my feet gave out. Unfortunately i didnt score too much, but did get some fabulous deals on what i did actually purchase! 

I got 2 pairs of boots at a small store in our mall called Sheikh Shoes.

They were having a buy 1 get 1 free on all their womans boots! OMG you cannot beat that!

So i got this pair...(Which happens to be superrrr comfy and padded)

& this pair....

for $58!! Unbelievable!!

Im liking the wedge boots this year, cuz theyr more practical! I can wear them for hours, and walk further before my feet start to kill!

I also got a long sleeve grey with black lace trim sweater from Windsor that i couldnt find an image for, sorry!

It was my first time shopping at Windsor and i was very impressed with how affordable it is!

You guys should check it out here.

Did you score any Black Friday deals?

Or do you prefer to catch some Z's on Black Friday?

4. Hair bows!! Who doesnt love hair bows?

5. Ohhhh you know, just gettin ready to get my hurr did.

I got a hair cut this past wknd! My first in the past 3 years!! The long hair was just getting to boring, i wanted something with more shape and texture and ect! And decide dto go back to my old hairstylist and get the cut i used to 3 years ago, which was long with LOTS of short layers everywhere! It curls much better, and TEASES much better! which i awesome cuz i love my Texas hair, even though i dont live near Texas! ha!

Lets talk about the fun crafts ive been up to lately!

3. The green flowers had super cute pearl buttons in the center!

4. Flower hair clips i made for my BFs lil girls!! So cute!

5. One of my Girlfriends in Florida requested a bright yellow one, aswell as Pink!

6. Another request from a FB friend! Love the black with the classy diamond! The diamond is surrounded by little metal groves. If youd like to order one, i and custome make them for you, just shoot me an email! they can be added to basic/baby headbands which makes it easy to switch out according to the outfit! Or they can come attached to the headband, or hat! Let me know if your interested!

My purchases!

Wow, long overdue?

I dropped by Ross and Target 2 wks ago, this is what i came out with...

And please, dont hate on my pasty-ness. I was self tanner-lesss. Ive taken care of it :p 

Annnnnd im not wearing make up. Dont judge. :p

ROSS

Iris Basic Black loose top with pocket & lace detailing at the top that i LOOOOVE. The lace is gorgeous too, not the cheapy kind, annnnd its feathered at the bottom. $9

 I also fell in love with the grey one! Gorgeousss! $9

Derek Hearts Red & White striped boat neck quarter sleeve top. It was on clearance for $5, and i thought itd be cute with the skirt below. Its also super cute with super dark denim trousers, or skinny jeans. Or with light faded baggy distressed denim shorts if you wear it right :)

Paper Tee Floral Crop Top. I am in love with this top! I cant pull of crop tops really, just cuz lets face it, im not tall or thin enough, it just makes me look pregnant. But there are a few different ways i can wear it to pull it off, including with the skirt below :) I love the little detailing at the top, and that its racerback! $12

Espresso Cream Dress with lace top. Im not IN LOVE with this dress, just cuz theres nothing thaaat special about it, but its a great addition to your spring/summer wardrobe! Theres so many ways you could wear this, with belts, cardigans, scarfs, etc! Its a great neutral piece you could play up! I cant wait to wear it with some cute wedges and a belt! Its super comfy too! $9!

Trim & Film Cream dress with black detailing. I thought this dress was pretty cute, with a belt added of course! Its flowy and comfortable, and cute with black pumps, or even flat sandals! And you could also throw on a black leather jacket for an edgy fun feel! $12

New York & Company Cream Skirt. I think this is supposed to be kinda like a bandage/bodycon skirt, but its just a lil big on me, but for $6 i thought ahhh what the heck, ill take it, i can pull it off without it being skin tight, im prob doing everyone a favor too! Plus, i can mix and match it with some of the above tops! 

TARGET

Mossimo White Shirt. Everyone needs a plain white shirt, and one thats a lil better quality and cuter than just a plain white cotton v neck you can get anywhere. This ones fantastic! I got it on clearance for $6!

Mossimo Black Tank. And everyone needs a plain black cute tank for layering and mix and matching, one you could dress up, like so! I love this one!

Im so excited! This past weekend i actually got to clean and reorganize my closet!

I really hate it, cuz my closet was built sooo freakin weird and inconvenient! Half of it, is deep, behind a wall, why couldnt they insert a longer door? wtf? ughhh, it makes getting stuff such a pain!

And voila! Much better! The way i organize my stuff is by dresses the furthest from dressy to casual, then jackets to sweaters, so quarter sleeve to tops to tanks. Then my dressier jeans, and scarfs and then my skirts on the right. With the back stuff thats behind the wall, i dont color coordinate, i just go by what i wear most and am gonna reach for first closest, and what i dont wear that often furthest. But the part i can see, i color coordinate. This closet drives me nuts. Its far to small. Ive got a chest of clothes, a roll out bin under my bed, and use 1/4 of my moms walk in closet for stuff i dont wear too often, such as fancy, out of season, or etc.

Ill show you how i store my purses and shoes another day soon. Thats a whole other closet haha.

Have a great day pretties!

xoxo Inna :)

I need to get ma hair did...

I had thee most boring day at work today.

Seriously, i was about to start counting the hairs on my head for entertainment. 

And it doesnt help that recently the hallway at work has been smelling like someone tooted. Multiple times. After eating some chilli.

Gross, i know. I dont get it, i cant figure out where the smells coming from! 

I mean, i work at a senior facility, it alllllways smells funny lol. But this is awkwardly stinky.

I always try to walk extremely fast, cuz i dont want anyone to come by and think i did it. 

Ughhhh, how lovely. 

haha!

Picture of the day:

(Excuse the mess, its laundry day, and the gross roots ha!)

Can you believe i got this scarf for $2?! I got it at a local ghetto discount store. The kind your afraid your gonna get mugged in front of. But i love it, and always get compliments on it! Cute!

Im also loving my new jewelry (bracelets) i got from Forever21 this weekend! I am loving wearing them with my Michael Kors watch! I mix and match the bracelets and bangles and throw em on with the watch.

Silver Bangles $5.80

Gold Bangles $4.80

Turquoise Bead Bracelets $2.80

Pink Rose Bracelets $1.50

White Rose Bracelet $1.50

(better picture)

I also got an over sized loose off the shoulder top at Ross for $7. Its pale pink, but doesnt come off that way in the picture. Its the softest material ive ever felt! So comfy!

Which reminds me, do you guys know where i can get a good strapless bra? mine sucks, slides down, and hurts..and i paid tonsss for it.

And im gonna leave you with tonights dinner:

Mini chicken tacos from Trader Joes. 

mmmmmm.

OH! And stay tuned for a Boyfriend Tag post :) This should be fun! haha.

xoxo Inna!
