Thank you to Jess from TheLittleDustPrincess for setting up the first Petite Secret Santa! I thought it was such a fun and great idea for the petite blogging community to be apart of. Continue reading to see who I drew and who my petite secret santa was!
Top: LOFT Portrait Collar Blouse- size XXSP (buy HERE)
Skirt: H & M grey pencil skirt- size 2
Belt: Ann Taylor Perfect Patent Skinny Belt in granite- size XS (buy HERE)
Shoes: Cole Haan Talia Pumps- size 5 (buy HERE)
So my petite secret santa ended up to be Erin from TheLifeofAnnJames! She got me the Ann Taylor Perfect Patent Skinny belt (in granite) in XS!!!! I have been longing for this XS belt but it was never avail online. And the funny thing is that on Black Friday, I found the same belt at the Ann Taylor Outlet for 50% off in XS so I had no choice but to pick that one up (not knowing Erin had gotten this for me).
And I was naughty because I was supposed to stop buying myself the items that I put on my wishlist…heheheh *oopsie*! The best part is the AT belt she gave me is way better quality and is about 1″ shorter than the AT outlet belt I bought! So I will keep the one I bought as a back-up! I love this belt so much- look how many outfits
Do you see a purple/pink and grey pattern? I was laughing when I put all these outfits together! Obsess much? LOL And I am wearing my Cole Haan grey suede pumps with each outfit! I get a bit crazy with a new item and tend to wear it to death! I will try to wear diff colors in 2011- I promise! At least I like my belt right?
She also got me a pink pearl necklace which you all know I love pearls and a cute card!!! I am sure I will get a lot of use out of both my belt (clearly) and my pink pearl necklace! So thank you Erin!!! Now who did I get to buy for? *Drum Roll*……I got Kelly from AlterationsNeeded!!! I started to panic at first because we all know she has amazing style and taste and how was I going to possibly shop for someone like her? 🙂 And plus, she is like the reason why most of us started blogging in the first place! So I was super nervous because I had to make sure that my gifts were well thought out and carefully picked! But luckily, I was able to come up with some ideas for her and I pray she likes her gifts!!
*fingers crossed*
I am super excited to see who everyone else got and their goodies! Thanks Jess again for coordinating everything! It was super fun!
As always you look amazing! The petite secret santa sounds really fun. XS belts are really hard to find and so cool that she gave u one 🙂
Great gifts! I love how the belt she gave you can go with so many different outfits. Thank you for participating and hope you have a happy holiday!!!

Wow such great items. Love seeing the belt in so many different pictures! 🙂
Very classy outfits…love the colors and how you put them together.
Your Loft blouse is so pretty and you look so chic. Very cute belt too, it can go with so many outfits.
Great gifts. It was so nice of Erin to get you something from your wish list. Ann Tay belt and pearl necklace? She can't never go wrong with those items 🙂
Great gifts! I love your color combos so I wouldn't change a thing, but I bet your new color combos will be super cute too 🙂
AHH so so so happy you love the belt and necklace! It's such a relief that the one you got in the store wasn't as good – whew! I have been thinking about getting this belt for myself… even more so now that I have my fashion plate friend to model outfit ideas!!
What classy gifts to receive! I'm sure you'll get a lot of wear from them. Erin as great taste! =)
Love the belt and necklace you received, Erin did a terrific job picking out gifts for you. Pearls and leather belts are essentials for you. 🙂
Great gifts! Both the belt and pearls are totally you, Annie 🙂 Would you say the AT belt runs similar to H&M ones? I remember you said H&M ones run super small.
@Cee Good memory Cee 🙂 The skinny H & M XS belts are still too big, bought one thinking it was going to work but it didn't. All the thicker, stretchy belts leather and non/leather in XS fits tiny. So I would say AT skinny belts are smaller but the thicker H & M XS fit better:)
amazing gifts!! that belt is super versatile and it looks like you've put it to such great use already. and the pink pearl necklace is so pretty and classy. can't wait to see you rock it in your outfits!
