Holiday Happenings: Christmas Party

Joining up with my girlfriends to show you how we dress for Holiday parties!

It seemed that everyone was having parties last weekend (if the time I had to wait for an Uber was any reflection), & I was right there with them! We celebrated the (almost!!!) end of the first semester. This first semester of teaching has been trying in just about every way possible, some that I didn't even know existed, & we are so close to the half way point (3. More. Days.)

Nothing like celebrating teaching the next generation like wearing a ballerina tutu & toasting to funny stories from the trenches - kids DO say the darndest things!

This skirt really does make me feel like a princess! I have worn it before more casually, & then for Christmas last year as well, but I think this is my favorite way yet!

The edgier accessories & these stunning earrings really seal the deal for me.

What are you wearing to your holiday parties this year?

The best part about the holiday season? The buzz. For me, it is all about the prep. The cooking. Wrapping. Shopping. Writing letters. Drinking hot cocoa like it is your job (<-- just me??). The general anticipation of good tidings & great joy.

Another fabulous part? Wearing day time sequins!

This season I'm upping my holiday glam factor with new products I've discovered thanks to Glossybox.

I've said it before, but I'll say it again… going out searching for new beauty products scares the bajesus out of me… too. many. options!

I need the already hand picked selections to find their way to my doorstep all on their own!

Currently loving (& wearing in this post): "Crimson Wonderland" lipstick from The Lip Bar (my new favorite red), Cargo cosmetics liquid eyeliner (the easiest cat eye ever, and I am cat eye incompetent!), Korres mascara (so smooth!), Calvin Klein "Reveal" scent, NCLA nail polish in "Satin Sheets, Velvet Ropes" (5 free… so none of the bad stuff!)… all found in my last Glossybox!

The new Holiday box just arrived on my doorstep last night, & it is another fully loaded delivery! I have been getting boxes for 4 months now, & I must say, if you are still looking for a gift to get your girlfriends, a Glossybox subscription should be topping your shopping list! 

Get your 6 month subscription for $115 now!

I received a complimentary subscription to Glossybox, but as with all brands/products that I promote, I truly love this service, and all opions & reviews are my own! If you have any questions, shoot me an email!

Bring Classic Back

I have built my closet around a collection of versatile basics, but I don't always want to stick to the predictable combo. For holiday parties, I love the unexpected mix of a faux fur vest + sleek leggings + statement heels, all grounded by the classiest of classics, the white button down. 

And I'm not the only one with a love for reinventing yesterday’s fashions & making them relevant for today. The Dodge Charger is celebrating its 100 year anniversary as an iconic, classic car—known for its power and sleek design. 

This holiday season, I challenge you to take a classic piece from your wardrobe & style a fun look that is modern & current!

How do you bring classic back?
