WHAT SANTA BROUGHT ME



Since we are spending the holidays up north at the Greer Lodge we decided to exchange our gifts early.  I have already scored this year, I told my hubby that I must have been a good girl and he laughed (not sure what he meant by that)! 
I got one of my favorite perfumes, Ray-Bans, a day at the Camelback Inn Spa, a laser facial to keep me young....I will be 30 in January (not pictured), a beverage dispenser, Philosophy body wash, Nordstrom & Starbucks gift cards, Christmas PJ's (picked out by my hubby) I told him to focus on the pj's and not the models wearing them haha, & lastly I found Kai body butter in my stocking along with my favorite candy lemonheads!!

Hope everyone gets what they want this year!

CHRISTMAS AT OUR HOME

MERRY CHRISTMAS! 

MY LATEST PURCHASE

I have not bought Kate Spade since college but I couldn't resist this cream quilted handbag that I spotted at Last Chance (Nordstrom discount store here in Arizona). The purse is called Gold Coast Maryanne & it retails for $445.... I picked it up for $80 and it is in perfect condition.  I think quilted bags like this are timeless, hopefully my next one will be a Chanel!
Here is where you can purchase this beauty....
