Christmas 2009

It was an absolutely fabulous first Christmas for our little princess. She got to strut her stylish self all over the South Bay and Bay Areas this year, showing babies all over California that you can look great at any budget! One would expect that a fashionista should be swimming through a sea of designer clothes for Christmas, but I sniff out the bargain trail wherever it may lead. And for Kylie's very first Christmas, all signs led me to Toys R Us. We traded in her Juicy Couture for Leap Frog, Burberry for V-tec. Of course, I could not COMPLETELY bypass making a few fashion forward purchases, after all, my baby still has to look good while getting her intellectual juices flowing.

Kylie with just a few of her gifts, there were too many to fit on the sofa without them falling all over her!

Daddy had to make sure his little girl is a little bit punk rock and not all girly girl.
She's also a little bit rastafarian.

I never imagined that there could be any feeling better than the euphoric rush I get when I find the last pair of Juicy sweat pants in just my size at 75% off, in a "normal" color and requires no alterations! Shopping has always been my drug of choice, my pint of Haagen Daaz after a bad day, or the reward I gave myself for a job well done. No matter the situation, bargain hunting always made me smile in a way which nothing else ever could. That is until that fateful afternoon on 3-6-09 when our sweet Kylie set foot into the world. When I look at her precious little face, my smile starts from the inner core of my being and radiates throughout my whole body. She is not only the inspiration for my blog, but for my life in and of itself. I want to give her the world so she can continue to make me smile, and am starting with one pretty outfit (okay, more like 2 or 3) at a time. 2009 has brought our family many blessings, especially my princess Kylie for which this blog would mean nothing without. Here's to fabulous new adventures and more fantastic bargains in 2010!
