Mindy Kaling is pretty much my fashion and life icon.  Every episode of The Mindy Project gives me some inspiration for a new outfit.  I knew I wanted to emulate this outfit.  When I saw it on the show, I thought the earrings looks a little Baublebar-esque.  And my fashion intuition was spot on, because The Mindy Project's costume designer teamed up with Baublebar for a line.   I pretty much wanted every thing from the line.  However, I settled for my sparkly studs.  I had to tone down Mindy's outfit a bit for work.  I am not lucky enough to work in an OB/GYN office that also doubles as a J. Crew catalog shoot.  At least I was able to exactly duplicate her earrings.

Stuff I GOT: A Very Merry Christmas

I am a pretty darn lucky lady.  My family and friends got me everything I wanted for Christmas...more stuff than I could have ever imagined.  I have a fistful of gift cards to spend, including enough Dunkin' Donuts cards to feed my caffeine addiction until next Christmas.  My mom, of course, got me tons of little things I didn't even know I wanted.  I don't need to buy toiletries, nail files or decorative travel packs of tissues for quite awhile.  And, I am not even kidding, she got me a gift bag full of cat food.  Yep, that is what my mom thinks of me.  But, because feeding those little mongrels is so expensive, I was secretly excited.  She just bought the dog a new blanket.  I was secretly hoping for a giant 40 lb bag of dog food.  Here are the highlights of my Christmas morning:

I needed a new toaster oven, because mine became a lovely little sparking fire trap.  There are some photos of my fashion gifts and more post-Christmas shopping on their way!
