Secret Santa 2011 Revealed!

This is the 2nd year Jessy (The Little Dust Princess) has organized a "petite" Secret Santa.  See my post on last year's Secret Santa. I've mentioned it before but my personal experience with the the blogging community - especially the petite blogging community has been one of support and friendship.  I was really excited to participate again and this year my Secret Santa was none other than my famous friend Jean of Extra Petite.  My very first venture into the blogging world was through Jean's blog where I entered a photo contest :)

Here is the gift I received from Jean:

Jeans: Gap Jean Leggings
Belt: Banana Republic (gift from ML)

Bracelet also from Jean (Ann Taylor)



Jean is so sweet, she saw me tweet about this blouse after I saw it on Michelle who looks AMAZING in it, the colour suits her so well!

I absolutely love this blouse.  Really loving pieces that can be worn casually or as business attire too.

See who I drew here.

Thank you again to Jessy for hosting!
