holy tomatoes

So you may have noticed I've been completely absent from the blog the past week or so. My xmas was pure craziness and I really wanted to spend as much time as I could with my family, especially with my sweet grandma. I've also been working strange horrible hours at work so bear with me. Besides the excuses already mentioned, and in addition to now catching the most horrible stomach flu, I've been literally hooked on this...
That's not my cat, unfortunately, but it's a lot cuter than me. I lurrrve my new wii. I managed to score pretty much everything on my Christmas list, including the Kors boots I was drooling over, Influence, and this rad photo umbrella thing that I'll probably feature once it looks more polished. I actually didn't really get too many fashion-related items, mostly because I'm really picky, and for some reason, people always tend to think I'm into things like patent belts and Victoria's Secret's pink line apparel. Go figure.

So instead of asking for stuff, I saved my money and used it towards a few major scores in the sale department of asos. Among my purchases were
A shearling biker jacket, which I've wanted foreeevvvver. I love shearling, and I love the twist on the classic biker jacket. We shall see. May be horrendous in person.

A minor tu-tu. I don't think I can graduate to the full out poofiness of a regular tu-tu just yet, so this is a start. I love the colour.

leave it to me to find the one thing not on sale during a 75% off event. But seriously, jumpsuits are just the loveliest things ever. Especially ones that will keep me warm during this chilly season. Public washrooms may get complicated though, I haven't quite figured that one out yet...
and this is what I wore today:

Hey girl, love your blog. Great new look. You have inspired me to shop at asos... thanks a lot, I want to buy the whole site. Anyway how are the sizes on the asos brand things? I am from US so I'm not familiar with UK sizes.

jacquieshambles, purfect lol. Makes me want a kitty cat. I tried to make a photo with my golden retriever....didn't really work out lol.

suzanne, I love the colin stuarts, wish I could walk in them though, wah.

bambola, happy new year!! I know, I'm not really into long length jumpsuits but this just looks too comfy to pass up!!

ashleigh, oh gosh, the wii is insanely fun. I lost at least a week of vacay because of it though lol. I'm so super excited for the shearling jacket, I've wanted it for so long, and the circle skirt is one of my favourite AA pieces. Goes with everything, is super sturdy, and is still comfy. Can't be beat.

monikapolitan, I had the WORST new year, but these shoes are so lovely nonetheless:)

bianca, tutus are just irresistable! thanks so much!!

B, sorry it's taken me so long to get back to ya. the size chart they have on the website is pretty bang on. I try to avoid getting dresses because it's always a risk, and go for sweaters and hoodies that I prefer oversized. But ya, the chart is pretty bang on.

kirke, aww thanks!!

mangopeachapple, thanks so much:)
