I am so ashamed of my lack of presence here on the blog... and polyvore... and all the other social websites I've signed on for. Work has just been kicking my ass lately, for reals. Today however, I am taking the day to fully refresh my internet persona. Yesterday was so nice, I got to relax for the first time in weeks. Between house plans, wedding plans and work... time has been very limited. Today. I. Have. No. Appointments! As you can probably tell, I'm jazzed. If it makes you guys feel better, until yesterday, I didn't even have time to shop the latest Pre-Spring line from Orla Kiely which hit their web-store weeks ago. Shocking I know. So I thought, since I don't have an outfit post planned for today yet (and probably wont since I'm planning on staying pyjama clad all day), I am gonna chronicle the purchases that I made yesterday. I am also taking this opportunity to tell you all that my holiday vacation starts soon, thank God! I sorta, kinda hate Christmas holiday because I always go off with my family and Ben always goes off with his, but I get it. I'm not willing to sacrifice my time with my family either. Mom and Dad have insisted that we stay in New York this year, whereas we usually go abroad for Christmas. I'm cool with that, I love New York at Christmas. Willa is flying in from England and Kae and the kids are probably already there. Since I've been working I haven't been able to make my usual visits down to San Diego to see my brother and I miss him so much. I bet the kids look so different now... I'm making myself sad, so I'll stop right there. Below is my shopping adventures from yesterday and as soon as I'm done here, I'm gonna get to work on a Christmas gift list for you guys to see. I love you all! Thanks for your patience.

(Ps. Before I even start I will say, yes I am totally aware of my Orla Kiely obsession, I've just never found clothes that express who I am more than theirs. I should be banned from their store... no! I was kidding!)
