Thanksgiving

This year I spent the holiday with family in Oceanside. We didnt plan on going any where because we usually make it up in Christmas and New Years Eve. Let me tell you, I had so much fun with my family. We started the afternoon chowing down and ended the day playing Charades and Blurt. Here are some pics of the festive day.



Here is the yummy feast we were blessed to eat!







My beautiful cousins and I looking good on Thanksgiving.











These cracker treats have faces, thanks to my uncle Bob lol.











I'm excited that the next holiday to come is the best one CHRISTMAS! I'm starting to make my wish list. I hope you all get into the Christmas spirit, cause I've seen so many houses put up there Christmas lights.

I Love Coats!

Ever since the summer ended I have been searching for coats at great prices. I finally accumulated enough to make me happy and warm for years to come. Below I will show you the great coats I found at unbelievable prices.


This jacket I made, it took me about 2 hours to sew. I got the fabric for $5.99 a yard (only needed 1 1/2 yards) at Yardagetown. It has a blue lining on the inside, from fabric that I had left over. I love the rounded bottom it adds edge to the look.






This coat I bought today from Factory Outlet for $25. I love the houdstooth design and the purple adds a splash of color to a classic design. This is my favorite coat right now.











This coat was an excellent find that I stumbled upon while shopping with my friend. I got it at a store downtown called Fashion Identity for $20 bucks. Its a thick wool peacoat, but its super soft and simple.

This jacket I got at Forever 21 for $15, I love the belt at the waist it is very sophisticated. The color is navy blue and it is a soft knit fabric.


Lastly, this long black knit coat was $25 at Macy's. It also has a belt at the waist, it doesnt have a hood but the collar makes it look more classic and simple.

As you can tell most of them are peacoats, I just love the elegance of peacoats. The scarfs are my favorite, the new trend is bow scarfs so thats what I did with most of them. So that is 5 coats/jackets for around $100 bucks. Which is not bad at all, I just suggest you look around different stores first before buying one coat at $100 bucks. With the weather getting chilly alot of junior stores are putting out coats for a good price.
