Christmas Market 2017

So my phone gave me the black screen of death this morning, but the cellular gods were on my side and granted me a second chance after trying to boot it up several times (also tearing open the back to check the internal battery-- umm i got desperate-- also because important memories such as vacation, birthdays and wedding pics).

What better time to dump some photos from the christmas market:

So I know what year it is.. 

(I have a habit of taking pics in portrait. Also my friend's camera phone is way superior quality.)

Staying out the shops

Instead of getting wrapped up in the Black Friday sales, I'll be relaxing and pampering myself this weekend. I have a cozy pajama set and face regime waiting for me (and also recently purchased Sims 4 (good bye real life)).

Ngl, it was hard not to browse and I did cave and buy a turtleneck from Kotn, but! 100% proceeds will go towards funding an education for children in Egypt.

Edit:

Matt & Nat Review: Gloria SM

Birthday month means Christmas gets to come early.

It's my first time ordering from Matt & Nat. I'm always happy to support Canadian businesses and I love that their products are vegan. 

I was stuck between getting the full size or small, but I settled for the small, Gloria SM because I figured I'd get more casual use out of it. I ordered on a Sunday and the order took two days to process and shipped out by Wednesday. Behold my new beloved~

I absolutely love it. The quality is great and it looks super chic. The zipper passed the smooth zip test. It comes with an adjustable shoulder strap as pictured above. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase. The only 'complaint' I would have is the fact that it was shipped in a plastic bag. You can see some bending in the handle due to this but it's a small detail that can be fixed. I'll try to take some outfit posts to show the true size of the purse. You can basically fit a water bottle horizontally or a tablet.
