Clearly, I've Been Nice This Year!

On Sunday, a few of my friends and I had a little holiday gathering at Hannah's. We baked, played hours of "Celebrity" [honestly so much fun], and swapped gifts! It was actually so nice to hang out with the girls, relax and be all christmassy! I was also so proud of all of the gifts I gave people [I am proud of my gifting skills], and so happy with everything I received!

Gifts I received:

[Once again, sorry for the shit photo quality. I'll have my new camera on Sunday, woot woot!]

Once of my favorite shows!

I love dinosaurs [only the cute fake ones though!!]

Designer tea bags... could anything possibly scream Ava more.

Everyone knows I just love Hello Kitty!

This photo does not do this Batman oven mitt justice!

Missing: The most beautiful white and dark purple lampshade that Sage made me out of paper flowers, and the Dinosaur shaped cookie cutters from Courtney <3

Thank you my beautiful friends, xo.

Dani Stahl

I hardly ever write or talk about other celebrities/major fashion icon's styles, as I believe that each of us must coin our style. However, I can no longer ignore just how fabulous Dani Stahl is. I feel like all of a sudden I've been seeing her everywhere, on Scouted, on The Fashion Hunters, and of course writing ever-fabulous pieces in Nylon. She's pretty renowned for being a total accessories guru, and I completely understand why. I am always lusting over having more bracelets, and I don't know where this girl is getting her plethora of fantastically colored and designed bracelets from, but they are to die for. Similarly she always knows what boot, what ring, what bag, what bracelet, what pair of glasses to pair with anything and everything. And beyond that, just look at her clothes! I would kill for her closet; So eclectic (in the best of ways) and full of pieces of all different styles (a little like my own... but worth more).
