Happy Last Friday of the Year!

1. Every year my best friend's fiance throws an ugly Christmas sweater party. We had so much fun! I kind of liked my "ugly" sweater! 

2.  Getting to watch my boyfriend and his teammates play football makes waking up early on a Sunday worth it!

3. I love having a physical planner to write in and I found this fab one at Marshalls! I truly believe 2013 holds the key to some amazing things!

4. I've never been a fan of egg nog but this one has me hooked!

5. Christmas Day was amazing. Spent it with the people that mean the most. We ended it with a game of Wii Bowling, and I won!

It's tea time

Only a year ago, I was off to Dallas for my friend Yesenia's wedding. It was now time to celebrate her baby shower. Crazy how time flies! Since she's living in California now, and most of her friends are on the east coast, we had a baby shower at a friend's house in Connecticut. The theme was Wonderland Tea Party! Themed parties are always fun, and we worked really hard getting everything just right. We wore hats, flowers and white gloves. We woke up early to make some really delicious finger food! I cut all the fresh flowers and placed them along the tables. Throughout the shower we played baby games, opened gifts and talked about the memories we all share. Most of us are college friends and Yesenia is the first one to be married and the first one having a baby so this day was kind of a big deal. Spending the time together really meant a lot to me because we don't get to do this as often as we like. We're busy women who live in different parts of the country, and it's really hard to find the time, so this was really special for me. I probably cried about 8 times, because moments like these remind me that we're "growing up" and things are changing. Yesenia is such a huge part of my life and a huge part of the person I've become. I don't get to tell her that enough, especially because it makes me so emotional! It's hard to find friends who touch your life in such an amazing way. I couldn't be happier for her and I can't wait to share the baby's birth with you!

Friday before Christmas!

1. Came home yesterday to find this Salvatore Ferragamo bag under the tree. Trying really hard not to peek! 4 more days!!

2.  This week my friend Shira graduated from Grad school. I haven't seen her in a while, so we finally had a chance to catch up and celebrate! I'm so proud of her!

3. I had a meeting with Lucky Magazine this week, and they gave us this fab H&M necklace, along with their Ultimate Style Guide and their January issue!

4. This week I also attended OK! & Star Magazine's Holiday Party. It's always fun to get dressed up, and mingle!

5. Power 105.1 (Top Hip Hop station in NY) celebrated their morning show's 2 year anniversary with this yummy cake and a concert featuring TI, Swizz Beatz, A$AP Rocky, and more. It was awesome, and the best part was getting to catch up with some old friends!
