SEVENTY-TWO/ instagram four

A lot has happened within the past month. I chopped off all my hair, I turned twenty-two, Christmas and New Years came and went and my brother returned home for a week long visit. A lot of boring things happened within this past month too. I went for coffees, I read some books, I got some new lipsticks and I hung out with my best friend (aka my cat). Of course all of these exciting moments - and more! - were documented on my Instagram. (rosiexwaugh - if you wish to follow!)

SEVENTY/ wrapped up in plaid

This past little while has been extremely low key for me. When it wasn't storming outside or when I had the energy to actually get my sick self out of bed - I spent my time roaming around the city buying gifts for my loved ones, visiting friends I haven't seen in awhile or wrapping gifts. Everything is coming together for the holiday season and my energy is (almost) back at 100%. I can't wait for the holidays to be in full swing; it's always my favourite time of the year!

I bought this plaid blazer at the thrift store not too long ago. Admittedly, it is a bit big for me but I am in love with the pattern and colours. I paired the blazer with a faux fur stole and my Louis Vuitton to that extra bit of class to the look. The red and green in this plaid are absolutely stunning and I think it'll be the perfect piece to wear on Christmas Day.

Merry Christmas to all of my friends, followers and family that celebrate it and I hope everyone has a safe and happy New Year! xo

TWENTY-ONE/ birthday wishlist

Christmas is a huge deal at my house.  I'm sure my mother likes to think of herself as Mrs. Claus and when I say she goes all out, you have to believe me. Today is November 18th and we currently have not one but two Christmas trees up and fully decorated - and it doesn't stop there, we have another tree and more decorations to be put up. But, before Christmas comes the real holiday, my birthday! (December 16th, mark your calenders!!)

I've decided to compile a bit of a fantasy wish-list for both occasions. I say fantasy because all I truly want from my parents is a bit of money to go towards tuition for when I (hopefully) start college (again) in September, and for the rest of the people I'm close with to be happy and healthy. I know, lame right? I'm usually a lot more materialistic than this. Well, I guess this is growing up.

What are some items on your holiday wish lists? Or are you like me and have absolutely no idea? If you don't celebrate Christmas, what are some items you're dying to get your hands on within the next couple of months?
