the holiday air

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…at least in my apartment. The tree(s) are up, along with some ornaments and lights – although there’s many more of each to come. Nightly lit Christmas-tree candles + frequent holiday-esque cocktails (my current go-to is a red wine + sparkling cider + splash of vodka + fresh cranberries + basil cocktail) + the most fancy looking boxed wine I’ve ever found, sets the scene for impromptu holiday parties all season long.



oh i love this: party wear

{1. topshop sequin peplum top  2. deborah lippman glitter polish  3. kate spade sequin skirt  4. topshop dress 5. funtasma glitter flats  6. dorothy perkins faux fur coat  7. diamante box clutch  8. j crew glitter belt

Tis the season for sparkle, sequins, shine, and glitt-ah. While warm weather warms my heart, over-the-top dressing does just as much. Layers of clothing, cold weather accessories, and a sort of more-is-more dressing philosophy is almost necessary to stay warm during chilly days. I like to be comfortable but dressed up most days – this rings true year-round, but with the holiday season in the air no excuse is a perfect excuse to get extra gussied up. Here’s my current lust list of perfectly appropriate {anytime} attire right now.

I am excited to be part of the premiere issue of To and From, a digital magazine of which this entire first issue is devoted to gift guides for every person you could possibly have to buy for this holiday season. Alongside some of my favorite bloggers, I curated a personal gift guide – this one specifically for the girly girl in your life {it’s always easiest to buy for someone that likes the same things you do, no?} The guide also includes ideas for everything from what to buy for the foodie, the parents, the boy…all those hard-to-buy-for’s. You’ll want to take some time enjoying every page – it’s full of beautiful things!
