Thanksgiving/Black Friday

Published November 30, 2008 Fashion , Miscellaneous 1 Comment

As previously stated, the boyfriend and I spent Thanksgiving with my family @ my grandparents’, south of Atlanta. Of course, amateur photography had to follow the yummy food.

Lovely 65 degree weather. Interesting cause we’re expecting snow on December 1st.

My friend and I battled the herd of shoppers on Black Friday and found some decent deals. Victoria’s Secret, for example, was insane. But I managed to snag some adorable pants & 5 for $25 unmentionables. Total of $60 + got a free tote bag ($70 value) filled with goodies (lotion, perfume, body spray, lip gloss & mascara) along with coupons and a card worth anywhere between $10 – $500 off any purchase made in December.

Forever21 had $5 compact mirrors with fun designs.

& Target had movies for $4.

God bless holiday sales.

Give me sexy.

It’s just not Christmas if Victoria’s Secret isn’t involved.

Give a little.

The boyfriend and I are venturing south of Atlanta to my grandmother’s for Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday. We usually spend Thanksgiving with my family and Christmas with his either here or in D.C. I can’t wait for delicious food. If it isn’t Mission Impossible, I’m going to attempt to pick up some yummy honey baked ham tomorrow afternoon. But I have yet to put together an outfit. I really like these dresses for Thanksgiving dinner attire:

2. $495 3.1 Phillip Lim dress www.pinkmascara.com
3. $22.80 @ www.forever21.com

I picked my favorite looks from the Fashion Police files on www.eonline.com.

Blake Lively’s underrated Gucci dress for a UNICEF event is gorgeous, in my opinion. And it looks amazing on her.

Kristen Stewart’s Twilight premiere Balenciaga dress has received a lot of negative comments, but I love the whole look. I think it’s very fitting for the movie.

Miley Cyrus looks fabulous in her Marchesa dress @ the AMA’s.

Ashley Tisdale’s Alberta Ferretti dress @ the AMA’s is beautifully unique.

Sarah Jessica Parker’s controversial Chanel ensemble @ a Chanel party is a hot mess. Very Carrie Bradshaw.

Last, but not least…Christina Aguilera looks gorgeous in this stunning Roberto Cavalli dress @ the VMA’s.

I fell in love with this Leiber cupcake clutch the second I saw it in Katy Perry’s hand. It’s also an item of Carrie Bradshaw’s in the Sex and the City movie. I’ll have to pop it in and watch it again to remember. But at $4,295, it’s quite an expensive dessert.
