ticket bitch

oh hello there Monday, we meet yet again. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving & for those of you who went shopping on Black Friday, I hope you all got your deals! You can read all about my Thanksgiving HERE .
So the Holiday's are in full swing now! I finally brought out my Michael Buble Christmas CD & haven't taken it off. Its funny, I'm not really a Micheal Buble fan at all, but for some reason I love the way he sings Christmas songs. I think its because he sounds a little like Frank Sinatra & I love his classic voice. However, my favorite Christmas song  EVER is defiantly without a doubt 'All I Want for Christmas is You' by Mariah Carey. I am obsessed with that song! What is your favorite Christmas song? 

Linking up with Leanne of Join the Gossip & Dana of Five30Three for Weekend Update! Over the weekend my town has this adorable fun holiday kick off event downtown called 'Bringing on the Glitz'. They close down the street & all the shops & boutiques stay open later. They have booths of food & crafts all along the street as well as food & drinks inside each of the stores. My mom sells vintage pieces, furniture, accessories & clothes at one of the stores on del mar street so I got to help out. I was in charge of food tickets, so I was everybody's best friend. Who doesn't love free food & drinks?!

I look forward to this event every year. They really go all out. Everything is all lit up with Christmas lights & there are carolers singing. Even Santa makes an appearance in the parade!

After I was done being ticket bitch, I had to stop by my favorite boutique - Lincoln Street & say hello! Speaking of Lincoln Street - have you seen all the freaking cute items they're getting in right now?! I am dying over everything! They ship everywhere, so I highly recommend following them on Instagram to keep up with all the new products she gets in daily....plus you might see some pictures of me modeling the goods as well. Their instagram name is - LincolnStreetBoutique...follow them, you can thank me later. 

Left to Right - Mendy, the owner of Lincoln Street & Haley a sales girl, Wendy & I,  Mendy & I...seriously I love her. Not only is she an amazing buyer because everything in the store is fabulous, but she's also a great friend with a huge heart.  & then Haley & I at Lincoln Street.



My sister even came back for the event.We ate, we drank, we shopped! It was the perfect holiday kick off!

Pic on the left is my telling my sister, "ok no more pictures!!" hahaha



I kept my outfit pretty basic - black poncho, black leggings, knit hat & you can't tell from the pictures but it's sparkly & I finished off the look with these fabulous new boots I scored at Target!!!! Fun Fact: Target had their Black Friday deals out a week before actual Black Friday - remember that for next year. So I am super excited about this purchase because to be honest I never find amazing shoe deals at Target. Every time they have something fabulous I am too late, so because I did my black Friday Target shopping BEFORE black Friday I was able to score these babies ----->

Black short boots with a glitter back - yessss please!

I am telling you now, there is going to be a lot of Christmas talk around here so if you're a Grinch, I suggest not coming by my blog for the next month....I'm sorry I can't help it, it's my favorite time of the year! But that's enough holiday talk for today. So instead I have a very fun girl for you all to meet. I love her blog, but what I love even more is how honest & real she is. She's got a feisty vibe to her that I love. Plus she's adorable & has some awesome hair. So without further ado meet 

I'm Mandy from Pretty Little Endeavors. My blog is a lifestyle blog with no rules and absolutely no sugarcoating. I started blogging as a way to document my life as it is and I enjoy keeping it that way and connecting with people who can relate to all of my little endeavors. I'm a sassy girl with a big heart and an extreme shopping addiction. I was born and raised in Michigan but, I was made for Nashville.

Its your last day on earth - what do you do?

I would spend every second with the people I love. I'd take as many risks as I could and face all of my fears.

What is the story behind your blog name?

I wish I had an interesting story behind my blog name. My blog used to be "Barbie Girl" because everyone used to tell me I looked like Barbie. Then I died my hair back dark and decided I needed to change things up and make my blog more about my life and all of the many endeavors along the way.

 Whats one thing we don't know about you that you think we should?

In general, the one thing I wish people knew about me is there is so much more than meets the eye. People often tell me they're shocked at how different I am from who they thought I was because I "look like a mean girl".

Gotta love a girl who tells it as it is & doesn't sugarcoat....& today Mandy is giving away a $15 Amazon Giftcard!!!! It is so great to have all these fun giftcard giveaways right around the Holidays, it can really help when buying gifts, so thank you Mandy & to all my messy girls who have provided my readers with some wonderful giveaways!
