Holiday Haul

[It’s the most beautiful time of the year. Style in the streets spreading so much cheer] Ah, my first fashion haul. It feels good. Here are some Christmas gifts I got.

PLEASE NOTE: The ratings aren’t based on how great a gift they were (if it was they’d all be 10/10). They’re based on how much they fit my taste. I greatly appreciate that people went out of their way to get me presents. The gift of giving can’t be rated.

Love Spell (Cherry Blossom and Peach)- Victoria’s Secret

 

 

This was the perfect gift to get me. I love anything with the scent of cherry blossoms (I prefer calling it the Sakura) in it. I think the cherry blossom smell heavily outweighs the peach smell, but I’m perfectly fine with that. Rating: 10/10

Purple Purse- Pink by Victoria’s Secret

 

 

 

I love the look of this purse, the only issue is I have no idea where I’d take it or what to wear it with! Probably with a mostly black outfit; I’d use it to be the focal point. I really admire out-there accessories like this, but I’m just not brave enough to take it for a spin! Rating: 7/10 {Lost points for lack of practicality.}

Teal Purse- (I don’t know the brand; can guarantee it’s thrifted)

 

 

 

This purse is more something I’ll use. I do wish it had more detailing with the brown, but everytime I look at it I imagine all the different outfits I can use it with. My only issue is the distastefulness of the clashing pink covered mirror on the inside, but nobody’s seeing that (thank goodness). Rating: 8/10 {Lost points for pink mirror and lack of detail}

Leather Purse- Genuine Leather (I think)

 

 

 

The label says genuine leather, but I’m suspicious because it only cost 4 bucks (the gift-giver forgot to take off the price). I think the brand might actually be called Genuine Leather; I have no idea. Either way, this purse is stunning and even though glammy, is subtle enough that I can use it with ease. Rating: 9/10

Seahorse Necklace- (Again, don’t know brand)

 

 

 

I love this necklace! I have a thing for rustic-looking jewelry, and even better- it has an animal! Like it was made for me. Rating: 9/10 {Lost points for type of neclace body}

Guardian Angel and St. Michael Necklace- (Don’t know brand)

 

 

 

I’ve been wanting a religious necklace for a little while now, and I’m happy I finally got one. I’m happy I got this Guardian Angel and St. Michael necklace (it says “Guardian Angel” on one side with a matching image; same with St. Michael) rather than a stereotypical cross necklace that some people wear just because it looks cool, and I especially like the unique chain. WARNING: The person who gave me this isn’t necessarily the closest person to me, and lucky for them I happened to be Christian. Religion-oriented gifts are a big no-no. Rating: 10/10

Pearl Ring- (Don’t know brand)

 

 

 

I’m all for pearl rings, but this pearl was just a little too big for my taste. I’m not a ring-wearer to begin with, but I’m an appreciater. The ring itself is too large to fit any of my fingers beside my thumb, and pearl rings on thumbs is a fashion faux pas in my opinion. Rating: 5/10 {Lost points on so many areas…}

 

Bejeweled Hair Clip- (Don’t know brand and wishing I did)

 

 

This was probably my favourite out of the hall. This bejeweled hair clip is gorgeous and was even featured in my previoua fashion post: https://singsimple.wordpress.com/2011/12/30/fashion-friendships/ It’s so sleek yet has a touch of formality and can be worn anywhere. Rating: 11/10 ^_^

What did you guys haul this season?
