Well, finally got word on my computer. The new screen came in, but now my laptop won't boot up at all. Which means, I have to take it in somewhere and pay money I don't have to try and get it fixed. Sigh. So much for my Christmas miracle. In happier news, today I am meeting up with a group of my friends to catch up before the holidays. We are going to get our picture taken with Santa and go to dinner. Very exciting. Also exciting? The fact that my friend and I recently hosted a dinner party. I wanted to share a few pictures from the evening. So keep reading to check them out.
It is day 16 of the 30 day beauty challenge! Today's challenge is:
A Celebrity Whose Fashion You Don't Like. I chose Nikki Minaj.
Why Nikki? While I love her unabashed use of colour, everything she wears is so extreme that in my opinion, it stops being about fashion. It appears to have more to do with attention by any means possible. Her style is fun and outrageous, but simply not to my taste. Sometimes, there is just too much going on.
What do you think of Nikki's style? How are your Christmas preparations coming along?
you look so pretty love the red on you! and completely agree with on the nikki style

Great Christmasy dress! Agreed, love her songs hate her clothes xx
ReplyDeleteI would've loved to help out if I were there. I love dinner parties. So sad about your tech problems. I have no clue what to do. Not tech savvy. I think Nicki Minaj is also extreme. It stops being fashionable and starts being just plain ugly. I don't mind if it was for carnival or the stage though.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous red dress, looks lovely on you ;)
ReplyDeleteI agree, not a fan of Nikki's style either.
What a lovely lady in red. Love the simple yet cozy table setting. Holiday preparations gets wackier and busier every passing day. :D
