OOTD: Heather and Whipped Cream

Today was totally wacky! Doing your Holiday shopping online is great! You can get some killer deals, especially on shipping fees and you don't have to wait in lines and deal with crowds. On the flip side...you have to wait for packages, and juggle the whole thing where you don't want people in your household to see their gifts arrive on your doorstep. I ordered three things this week....one arrived at the house next door which was INSANE. I looked all over the yard for it and then just figured I'd look on the porch of the next door houses and there it was. I was pretty upset with UPS.

The second incident was my error. Amazon.com saves your previous address in the system and I had neglected to change it to the new, new address. I got an email that my package had arrived...at my previous address...which is across the river about 7 miles away. If you know anything about Boston...you know that 7 miles will take you 30 minutes by car. I scurried over to my old apartment and was thrilled to discover it was still waiting outside on the porch. Crisis averted. I am waiting on more more gift to arrive and I'll pick up one more and then I'll be done! I am STILL in the process of making some homemade gifts which I'll share with you later.

For now, I have my outfit of the day. It was VERY, VERY cold today! I believe it only got up to 25ºF. It was the perfect day to wear my new Tria Sweater Skirt!

 

Sweater: Anthropologie (thrifted!)

Belt: AnthopologieKnotted and Fastened Belt ($9.95)

Skirt: Anthropologie Tria Sweater Skirt ($69.95)

Boots: Payless (worn over H&M legwarmers)

This skirt is so comfortable and cute! If anyone knows any details about the cardi, I would love to know. I think it's Sleeping On Snow, but I got it for a song at Second Time Around. I wore this outfit to rehearsal tonight and I'm glad I did! It was SOOOOOO cold in there! I don't know why they did not heat the room we were singing in. So cold!

So along with store bought gifts, I'm also making homemade body scrubs for the ladies in my life. I am filling up these little 7oz jars with Dead Sea Salt Scrub that I have made with Peppermint and Eucalyptus Essential oils. It is just as nice as the Salt Rub you can buy from Origins, but just not as expensive. Here is the prototype I made tonight...I can't wait to try it!

Anyone else making homemade gifts this year? Hope you ladies are having a good week!!!
