Welcome to another Things I Love Thursday post.  Every week I take time to write about the things I’ve been grateful for and those awesome happenings which have put a smile onto my face.

This week I love:

– Catching up with friends.  I went to visit Natalie and we ate pancakes and shopped.  It was so much fun and I’m so excited that this gorgeous lass now lives so close to me.

– Staying up until 3am chatting with cute boys.  I haven’t done that since…well, ever actually.

– Fleetwood Mac.  I’ve been watching American Horror Story 3: Coven and it’s been influencing my listening habits dramatically.  I’ve been spinning a lot of Stevie this week.

-Rocking strong eyeliner and red lips for dinner with my parents.

– Counting down to Christmas.  There’s only one week to go!

– Finding a gorgeous rose pink vintage slip at the op shop for just $2.  It’s going to be perfect for sleeping in once the really hot weather hits.

– Glittery gold nails for the festive season.

– Gingerbread frappacinos from Starbucks.  I ordered one, and as I was about to take a sip thought to myself, “This could either be really delicious or truly disgusting”.  And it was amazing.  I only regret that there’s no Starbucks in Benalla so I can’t get another one.

– Taking crazy leaps of faith.  Sometimes you just need to take a risk.

– Sending Christmas cards.

– Introducing friends to the wonder that is Elf.

– Bing Crosby.
