Calendar Gem

i came across the coolest calendar while playing on playwho! its a vertical calendar by Make Collaboration, i'm really excited about the way the calendar is displayed and the space for making notes.

from their site:

HANG IT UP 
For those who only prefer to display art, the Vertical was designed with you in mind. We treat our calendar like a fine painting, mounting it with a magnet+tack hang up set that avoids puncturing and allows for easy month-to-month transition. Display months individually or as a group, either way the Vertical will be a fine addition to your home, office or both.

I have to admit, their pictures are not the best...but I can imagine this looking uber cool in my place! 

in the year 2012....

well, the world didn't end. that means that i still need to pay my bills, balance the insanity i feel around my family, do laundry, and continue to be fabulous. duh. in 2013 i made new friends, CT got a new looks thanks to Amanda, i got older, attended some delicious dinners and fun weddings, got some awesome shoes, started dating someone who promptly moved away when we started dating, sold and acquired some sweet furniture, and i continue to believe my nephew is the best thing, err..person, ever. i think 2013 will be pretty great. fabulous actually.
happy merry holidays and a brilliant new years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Matthew (my nephew) and his mom and dad (my sweet baby brother)

seeing them together makes me sssooooo happy 

 friends, reunited and it feels so good

 badass 2013, i'm going to try wearing all black! I purchased my first black tshirt, jeans, and a cardigan without a print in foreveerrrr. (side note, I got AMAZING Frye boots on sale topped with a 15% off birthday coupon, the total *drum roll please* was $127.46!!! i only shop at anthropolgie in Dec. and only feel a lil guilt. a weeee bit)

 my mom never let me believe in Santa (begin sad violin music), so i try to get a pic with Santa whenever I see him! he stopped by my job this year :) 

i had a birthday! and wrapped things around my head. so predictable. 

my brother Riva and his gf Sara came, yay! (i found the lovely Calvin Klein dress im wearing at TJ Max on clearance for $19.99! its a few sizes too big so i belted it, as you can see...i look good)
