Holiday Outfit Ideas!!

Merry 3 days until Christmas!!

Having trouble deciding what to wear?! I have had a few ideas for holiday outfits for quite some time now and am really excited to finally share them with you!

Let's get started!

Look One: 
The first outfit is great for a dressy occasion! I personally will be wearing this on Christmas Eve, with neutral eyes, a matte red lip, and loose curls!

 My dress is from Forever 21 and would actually work for  New Year's as well! It has a chiffon top, with gold sequins along the bottom. One of my favorite details of the dress is the thin black belt with a little, elegant bow!

I decided to pair it with opaque black tights and plain black, heeled booties to keep it simple since the dress itself is quite busy.

Look Two: 

The next look is a great balance between dressy and casual. The top half is a burgundy polka dot top made from a material similar to silk from Forever 21 , which adds some formality to the outfit. 

I decided to pair this outfit with a gray, cotton circle skirt from Target and cozy knee high sweater socks from Urban Outfitters. I also added a beige and gold belt for a feminine touch. 

Here is the outfit laid out, shoes included. The shoes were actually given to me by my aunt, they are adorable and have a 1960's vibe, which goes perfectly with the polka dots.

 Option two is actually quite versatile, to dress it up I would just add a chunky gold necklace, opaque black tights, and the same black booties from the first outfit.

 Or swap the necklace out for a scarf and a pea coat to make the outfit super cozy!

 Look Three: 
 This outfit is similar to the second in the sense that it can either be dressy or casual. The ruffled black dress paired with black tights and high brown boots is formal and classic. The dress itself is from H&M and I actually purchased it on sale for $5, I just love a good bargain! 

I love the classic pattern on this scarf, it is a gorgeous blend of cream, black and burgundy and is perfect for the holidays!

Look 4: 

The final look is what I will be wearing on Christmas morning! I spend the morning and afternoon having a delicious brunch with my cousins at my grandmothers house so I like to keep my outfit cozy and casual! 

My sweater and scarf are both from H&M. I had my eye on the scarf for quite some time and just recently gave in and purchased it; it was too cozy and beautiful to resist. Also,  I have been such a sucker for this classic snowflake Christmas pattern this year! 

I am so excited that it is finally time for all of my Christmas parties and today I get to wear one of these outfits! Hope you all are having a lovely holiday!

Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed!! :)

Have a lovely day!! xoxo

My Room at Christmas!

Hey lovelies!

This is a super short and sweet post about how I have decorated my room for Christmas, I quite like how it turned out. I honestly have spent most of my time cuddled up, Christmas lights glowing, with my blanket and a yummy Christmas scented candle burning...does it get any better than that?

I apologize for the terrible quality of these photos, they were taken on my phone, but the good news is, I picked myself up a little Cannon point and shoot, so I will have much better quality photos soon! Yay! :) 

Since my walls are a very summery blue, I decided to accent with red and gold and found a decent amount of decorations that actually had the color of my room in them to tie all of the colors together. 
This is before I decorated my little tree that my mom surprised me with and before I moved it to a different location, but isn't it just the cutest? 

Here is a close up of my little bookshelf, most of this stuff cost about a dollar, can't beat that! 

As you can tell from the glow of this picture, my room is quite magical during this time! The first thing I do when I get home is plug in my lights and light some of my amazing candles! 

 I searched high and low for a Christmas colored tartan throw and finally found one from JCPenny on sale for 60% off! 

 Finally, this might just be my favorite part, I have had this set of three trees since I was young and they have consistently been one of my favorite decorations! I also love the addition of the light up polar bear from my sister Nicole!

I also wanted to include a few of the decorations that my mom has placed so elegantly around our house! First up, my lovely Christmas stocking, already filled to the brim with goodies for Christmas morning! 

My mom and I spent one evening decorating the Christmas tree and I love the way that it turned out! It's filled with red and gold ornaments and a few personal ones to add a special touch. 

 Happy 6 days until Christmas!! 

Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed!! :) 

Have a lovely day!! xoxo

The Christmas Tag!!

While I wasn't necessarily tagged by anyone, I loved the questions and wanted to begin December with a fun and festive Christmas theme! 

Lets Get Started: 

1. Do you prefer a real Christmas tree or synthetic?

Real, I have had one every year of my life and hope to every year to come! 

2. You're in a coffee shop, it's December, what do you pick up? 

Something warm & cozy. I'd have to go with either a nutty soy latte or a sweet caramel latte, like the Caramle Brulee from Starbucks.

3. What's your favorite color scheme for decorating the Christmas tree? 

Definitely the traditional colors! I love red, green, and gold with a lot of sparkle and personalized ornaments! 

4. Giving or Recieving?

Giving! I love a good gift, but giving someone something I know they will love is unbeatable! 

5. To mince pie or not to?

I have never had one...so not?

6. What's your traditional Christmas lunch?

A delicious brunch made by my grandma! 

7. Christmas day fashion.

Christmas eve is when I get all dressed up, so for Christmas I keep it casual with a sweater, leggings, boots, and a scarf! 

8. What is your favorite Christmas Song?

I love them all, but "The Christmas Song" by Nat King Cole always stands out above the rest. It instantly makes me feel like I'm by the fire, warm drink in my hand, Christmas tree lit, and that warm, cozy feeling of Christmas. Does it get better than that?

9.What is your favorite Christmas film?

Again there are so many great options, but I will choose my favorite three. I love How the Grinch Stole Christmas with Jim Carrey, Annabelle's Wish, and last but not least, The Year Without Santa Clause! 

10. Open presents before or after lunch?

FIRST THING! I love opening presents bright and early, despite the fact that I am not a morning person on any other day! 

I tag my friend Joy, from http://blog.joymichellephotography.com/ to do this tag as well! :)

This tag has made me more excited for Christmas, if that is even possible! I hope you are having a great holiday so far. Happy 22 days until CHRISTMAS!!

Hope you enjoyed reading!! :)

Have a lovely day!! xoxo
