We are shining...

How's everyone's holiday shopping?
I'm almost done thank goodness. I've realized during Christmas time, people spend more time hustling and bustling than enjoying the company of others at actual Christmas events.
But anyway, I'm so excited for this week. Exactly one week until Christmas. I also get to sleep over my sister's house and of course we are going to have a jammin' time. Oh and today is the season finale of Dexter. Big smiles all around.

I didn't get to post this earlier but last weekend I went a family event where my sister sang. It was the first time this season where I got to wear a party dress. I had a good time. I ate lots of cupcakes.

I dreamed a dream...

So last night my ultimate bester Kristen had her wonderful senior recital titled Long, Long Road, and I was so happy for her. We had lots of music, laughs, and cries and it seeing her up on that stage made me really sad to think about her leaving for BYU next year. It was definitely a beautiful night and everyone looked beautiful. I got to have many costume changes which made me excited because people don't like to dress up nowadays, but I always do. So I got to sing with the bester and the rest of the lovely people who were part of her cast and we danced to what else? Gaga. You can see the super awesome dance, choreographed by Kristen's older sister Stephanie here. I bought a new black dress just for the finale and I'm in love with it. It reminds me of the American Apparel one that I mentioned before, but it's better because it's black and it's real lace. I still want the one from AA but that can wait now.

My mother and sister took many wonderful pictures so I will share them with you all. Smiles.

Won't you let me...

So for Christmas, one of my gifts was a Starbucks coffee cup for school. It's the one that has a template inside and you can make the cup your own by putting whatever you want inside.

I decided to put what I enjoy and looking at it now, I see the inspirations that guide me through my life. And now I can take my inspiration around with me. I want to share with you what inspires me. Song and dance inspire me, along with fashion sketches, Glee, Gossip Girl, photography, lace, Lady Gaga, Keira Knightley, Emma Watson, vinyl records and cassettes.

Enjoy.
