Advent: Day 10

I'm beginning to feel the strain of trying to stay on top of Advent every day - it's day 10! - but it's definitely still a blast to get a pile of awesome prezzies and pretty things to try on. In the spirit of the season this is an entirely positive Advent Show Off - as always there is a mix of quality and style in the gifts, but I'm focusing on what I like and appreciate the most. Frequently, a store that didn't quite hit my sweet spot one day will give me something awesome the next, so there really isn't a loss for me here.You might notice I paired yesterday's Advent from Loordes of London with today's gift - she often does matching pieces over a couple of days, which makes for a fun build up to a complete look if you can hit all the notes correctly. Don't worry too much if things don't change over for her right on the dot, too - her Advent is a manual one and I believe she's having some personal issues, so it's important to be understanding and generous of spirit toward her!

I know you're all feeling the holiday strain, too. What's challenging you the most this holiday season?
