Bones & Bondoc

bonadragbox

Once again, the Bonadrag boutique never fails. I remember when I found the site way back when I first started blogging, this snake vertebrae necklace by Erica Weiner was my favorite among the many things that caught my eye in the Flair section:

Birthday Packages


Got most of my birthday presents early this year (the real guy is this coming Tuesday) - the result of a semi-impatient girl and a Boyfriend who just gets too excited when it comes to gift giving. I love surprises, but sometimes waiting a couple extra days to get them is just torture yo. Which is why Christmas and the Anni are both already thought out... no surprises there (for us) but let me just say that I can't wait for the month of December to come. More on that later.

Speaking of boxing... YES PACQUIAO! I woke up this morning to see #cottosface trending on Twitter. LOL

GGG Birthday Guest No. 12: Raymond, 21


My Boyfriend^ turned 21 over the weekend! Now he's allowed to drink, smoke, gamble, and watch strippers legally anywhere and everywhere around the world. Hmmm.. let's go for pho and see who's down to watch a movie tonight? Sounds good, haha. I've been a fan of being a little low-key lately. But man, do I love just being here to hit Life's milestones with you.

Just LiKe New


Last year, Raymond and I purchased for eachother a couple of matching Unearthen charms; if you haven't heard of it yet, you may have seen attempts and imitations of the idea floating around in Etsy shops and the like. Simply put, they consist of beautiful crystals encased in a spent bullet. It's a rather juxtaposing creation and we were all over it. In particular, we had ordered the .22 caliber bullet and Topaz crystal (both of our birthstones) combination from Bona Drag, one of my favorite online shops for flair.

Good With Numbers


She was offered a full-time job at PWC upon graduation, and I couldn't be happier for her!

GGGB 4sks #1: What's On Your Keychain?

I never noticed until now that these were all received as gifts where I didn't even expect to get anything in the first place, and although they are really just keychains... it's the gesture behind them that make these worth more than they are.





Marc Jacobs shiny plastic key loop: Deb brought 4 of these back in different colors for each manager when she went to New York a couple of months ago, what a sweet SM. Love her. Even when she is on vacation she is thinking about us back at the store! This electric blue color is what helps me find/grab my keys in the midst of my dark purse haha.





Coach Special Edition Las Vegas charms: Mom brought me these back from November but I didn't get them until Christmas. While she was there she asked if I wanted anything specific and I honestly said: "Oh just get me a keychain, or something." And she did! She also got me the next one too =)






Coach patent leather reversible letter "A": again, from Mom. It's so cute, it reminds me of Bex in JH when she was obsessed with the Pink and Orange combination of colors. Sometimes I look at it though and forget that my name is actually Amanda, not Mandy.






Louis Vuitton w/ circled Pastilles key ring: This one is from Ms. Gail, she gave these to all her teaching staff at the end of last year. I actually use this one on my work keys because I have more gold keys on that ring so it matches better hehe. This one time I was ringing somebody in and my keys were on the Cash Desk and I accidentally swiped them into her bag along with her clothes, she came back a couple of hours later and returned them (the keys, she kept the clothes obvs). She Sandy is now one of my really good customers, I treat her well haha.
