Hello everyone! 

Today I'm enjoying the few hours left of my Holiday break... tomorrow it's back to work :( but today I'm so happy because of my outfit! if you go and check my Pinterest Wardrobe Inspiration board, you'll see that -since last winter- I have an obsession with faux leather leggings outfits. The problem here is, for a very tall girl like me (5'11) there are not plenty of options out there. Normally, I buy my regular/skinny jeans at Old Navy - Tall Girl section (only sold online so it's a huge bummer you can't try anything on in-store), but I never find specific pants that are from a special fabric or something like that so it's kind of a quest each time I want one because I have to try a lot of them in-stores and most of the time just deal with an "ankle-looking" pant that was not meant to be ankle height. 

Anyway... I had one pair of faux leather leggings I got as a gift on my birthday ♥, but I still can't decide on how to wear them since they're short... not even ankle short... they're shorter, and it's winter and it's cold! I felt defeated, I felt this was going to be another winter without those special leggings and then, a miracle! Last weekend I was over T.J. Maxx and I found them!!! Yes, they fit my height and all!!! They were on the clearance rack along with this sweater I'm also wearing... they were meant for each other!

First of all, I'd like to explain why I changed the name of my blog from My Vanilla Tiara to Love Type Thing; when I first started this blog on 2008, I was a little bit obsessed with the scent of vanilla and all my parfums, body lotions, etc. had a strong hint of vanilla in them. I'm already over that obsession and I've been thinking about changing the name for a while and thought of an obsession that I've had for years and years and it will unlikely go anywhere: Tegan and Sara. 

After shuffling and shuffling through their songs, this one came up and I just knew this was it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I am now, and let's hope it lasts at least 7 years as My Vanilla Tiara did. 

This is me, resting after a loooong day!


For wrapping the gifts, I used mostly FRAMSTALLA paper from Ikea. It was hard to manipulate since it's thick, and even being thick it's a bit see-through (weird). Last year I used a huge roll I bought at Costco and it had much better quality,  it even had the guidelines for you to cut evenly. The solid colors were delicate, a bit of rubbing against the table made the color fade, so after the first gift I had to be very careful with it.

Still, I was very much pleased with the results :).
