Christmas Bucket List for 2019

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It’s finally Christmas day! I’m so happy I made it to the end of Blogmas 2018. Well, actually I planned on continuing to post until December 31, but I know things will get busy for me near the end of the year so I decided to post until today, December 25. Since this is the last, or one of the last, posts I write in 2018, I wanted to share my Christmas bucket list for 2019. There are so many things I wanted to do this year that I was unable to. Because of this, I already have a tentative list of things to do and places to see during the Christmas season in 2019. Continue reading “Christmas Bucket List for 2019” →

It’s the day before Christmas eve! I hope everyone is ready or almost ready!

Since I’m winding down the Christmas themed posts for Blogmas, I decided to list my top 5 favorite Christmas songs. I need to admit, my favorite Christmas songs fluctuate depending on the year and the mood I’m in, but I decided to list my favorite Christmas songs for 2018. If I do Blogmas next year, which I hope I’ll have time to do, I plan on making a new list for that year. It will be fun to see if I’m in the same mood for the same Christmas songs!

Anyway, enough talking! Onto the songs! Continue reading “Top 5 Favorite Christmas Songs for 2018” →

I’m so happy I can finally post photos of my holiday home decor for 2018! Due to circumstances beyond my control, I was unable to put my Christmas tree up, but I was able to put up a few decorations around my house. A few of the decorations I have on display are ones I purchased this year and wrote about in previous Blogmas posts. Continue reading “2018 Christmas Holiday House Decor” →

Favorite Christmas Tree Ornament Purchases for 2018

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Christmas is getting closer and, despite my best intentions, I will be unable to put a Christmas tree up. I do have decorations around the house, but no tree. I’m very upset and sad about this, but it’s one of those years when most of my best laid plans went out the door. Even though I cannot put up a tree, I wanted to write a post mentioning my favorite Christmas tree ornaments I purchased in 2018.

2018 Holiday Shop With Me- Dillard’s

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Earlier this week, I wrote a shop with me post about a shopping trip I took last week to JcPenny’s and Dillard’s. Since I had so many photos to post, I decided to split the store into two separate posts. Today’s post is about my trip to Dillard’s

Like with my JcPenny’s shop with me, I will not be including a haul from this shopping trip because of time constraints.

Favorite Runway Looks- Zuhair Murad Fall 2018 Couture

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It’s the last Wednesday of Blogmas and I feel sad that my series of my favorite couture runway looks from fall/winter 2018 is ending. I really enjoyed talking about my favorite runway looks and I would like to continue posting about them in the future… only without ball gowns and Christmas parties in mind!

For the last runway post of Blogmas 2018, I wanted to feature another Lebanese designer I really like: Zuhair Murad. His designs are similar to Elie Saab’s (Rich embroidery, delicate feminine designs) but his style is different. So, for today’s post I wanted to share my favorite looks from Zuhair Murad’s fall 2018 couture collection. Continue reading “Favorite Runway Looks- Zuhair Murad Fall 2018 Couture” →

2018 Holiday Shop With Me- JcPenny’s

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Last week, on a whim and encouragement from a sale, I went shopping at JcPenny’s and Dillard’s. Since this is Blogmas, I decided to take some photos while I shopped to show what I saw in the stores as well as what I found in stores. After I edited the photos and began writing the post, I realized I had so many photos that I could write two posts dedicated to each store. Since JcPenny’s was the first store I stopped at, I’m writing my shopping adventures there first.

I never shopped at Bloomingdale’s before, but while browsing Nordstrom’s Black Friday sale without success finding what I was looking for, I decided to give Bloomingdale’s a try. I did not find what I wanted to buy, but I did find a few ornaments and Christmas cards I liked. Continue reading “Bloomingdale’s 2018 Holiday Decor Haul” →

In the month of November, Bath and Body Works had a large sale on their shower gel.
