hi guys!
:)

Merry Christmas to everyone, first of all, hope you got what you wanted from Santa! :]]

So last night was Christmas eve, and my brother, my mom, and i all cleaned up my house and decorated the tree. (looks beautiful, might i say!) and then we went to pick up our friend, and my old babysitter, Jeanine, from the train station. I also went to my friend Sarah's house, and she gave me presents! then, we got back home. My brother and i always get to open one gift on christmas eve. I opened mine up, and i got a pair of reeeally pretty snowboots. (i would know. i picked them out at dsw. haha) My brother, Mark, opened up the gift i gave him surprisingly! (i got him Saw 2 directors cut with a bonus DVD, he likes scary movies!)

so today, i woke up, but i was too tired so i slept in. But then i woke up again and bolted down the stairs. My mom woke my brother up and we both looked at our gifts!

I got my mom a pair of earrings from Macy's and she LOVED them!

p.s. sorry i couldnt put up a better pic, no others were working!

Helloooo, so today I was walking around my little town with my friend and my brother.

So in the center of town, we have a cute little green with a bunch of shops around it including Subway, Wanda's sugar shack, Dunkin' Donuts, a bike shop, a few restaurants, a pub, an ice cream parlor, a bookstore, clothes shops, a little makeup boutique, a few spas, a Herbert's jewelery store, a wedding place, etc etc.

And so while i was walking around, my friend Sarah was like, let's go to Sweet Annie's! 

Okay i had never heard of this place so of course i go, What??
But she just tugs on my arm and leads me to the shop.
I never knew it existed! The cute little store is nudged in between two larger stores, and i never saw it before.

We walk in, and for me, it's a candystore! I'm a shopaholic, so my mouth drops open and my eyes become wide.

Inside, there were loads of designer purses, hair clips, rings, necklaces, bracelets, watches, scarves, shawls, ohmygosh.. it was FANTASTIC!   
there were all the major brand names.

There were so many kinds of purses:

Ed hardy, juicy couture, dooney and bourke, dolce and gabbana, gucci, coach, etc, and my weakness: VERSACE. 

So at first i was like, woah. so many things, There were clutches, hobo bags, so many to choose from!

AND THEN I SAW IT.

My eyes landed on a beautiful big, red Gucci bag.
I can't even describe it.
When you hold the purse up to the light, it glimmers and sparkles. it is really big with metallic details and the red is amazing. It fades in some places but has more in others.

I fell in love! I didn't want to leave the shop.
 (yes, i have a problem..)

and it's just $60 ! and i mean, i have enough money, and the take amex cards, but i was planning on getting so much stuff and the last thing i said i would do would be blow it all on one thing.

but i have $150 to spend, couldn't be that bad, right?

Should i get more for my money or splurge on a fabulous purse?

What do you think? ;)

thanks a bunch!
