New Year’s Eve Outfits
I love a good sparkle, sequin, or metallic detail year round, so I really love that New Year's Eve gives everyone permission to really go all out and embrace the shine. Whether you're going out or staying in (or, like me, don't know what your plans are yet!), I'm sharing some inspiration for New Year's Eve outfits.
Gift Guide: Last Minute Gifts
It's my last gift guide of the year! It's wild how quickly December has flown and how close we are to Christmas. This week's gift guide is for any of you who are last-minute shoppers (... like me!). All of these items are available on Amazon, and at least for me, will all arrive in time for Christmas. There's a nice mix in here - some bigger items, some stocking stuffers, some host / hostess gifts, some grab bag gifts, and more.
Holidays This Year
For the past two years, my family has gone to DC for the holidays, and actually spent Christmas there. It started out as a way to be safe during COVID but still make the holiday feel special without all the usual parties and gatherings, but we ended up having a really nice time. Getting to visit the National Christmas Tree by the White House on Christmas Eve is a pretty cool experience, and it's usually at least slightly warmer there than it is here. It was a nice way to do something a little different for holidays, even if we ended up just spending a lot of time in the hotel.
Holiday Pajamas
One of my favorite Christmas traditions is holiday pajamas! It's something little, but it's still something special to look forward to on Christmas. And now that my holidays are a lot more low key than they were when I was a kid, sometimes I'll just... stay in my Christmas pajamas for a few hours on Christmas and have a nice, slow start to the day. I definitely opt for comfort when I'm looking for my pair each year! I rounded up some of this year's favorites.
Holiday Outfits
I love getting dressed up for the holidays. I love sparkle in general, but during the holidays it feels like you're really given permission to go all out if you want, with sparkle and shine in every outfit if you want! So today I pulled together some holiday outfit inspiration that ranges from subtly sparkly to shimmer all the way.
Holiday Traditions
Our tree is up and mostly decorated, it's mid-December, and I'm slowly but surely getting into the holiday mood! So I thought that I'd help myself feel a little more Christmas-y by sharing some of my favorite holiday traditions. Some of these are things I've been doing for years, and some are more recent, but they're all things that make it feel like the holiday season for me.
Holiday Outfits
Dressing for the holidays is one of my favorite things to do - it's the excuse I never need to pull out all my velvet, sequins, and metallics! Not that I don't wear these things year-round, honestly, but there's something extra fun about wearing them to holiday parties and get togethers. So today I'm sharing some inspiration for holiday outfit dressing!
Thanksgiving Outfit Ideas
I still have a very low-key Thanksgiving celebration planned for this year, so the jury is out on whether I go for some sort of festive outfit, or just reach for some comfy lounge wear instead. But if you have plans of some sort - dressy or casual - I've pulled together a few different outfit ideas.
A Different Kind of Christmas
For the first year ever, my family decided to travel for Christmas, and we spent almost a week in Washington, DC at the most gorgeously decorated hotel I've ever been to!
