Holiday flats

If your holiday celebrations are more on the casual side like mine - as in festive but informal gatherings with family and friends where jeans will suffice, but you still want to add a little glamour to your wardrobe, these lovely flats that I recently found on Asos fit the bill.

Blouses with bows

You know I'm obsessed with all things with a bow.  One of my co-workers paired hers perfectly with a black, tight skirt and it looked so chic that I could scream.  Unfortunately, I can't pull that look off the way she does, but I was inspired by all the different ways one can wear a bow blouse - with wide leg trousers, a long graphic skirt, shorts a la Olivia Palermo down below, skinnies, or denim.

Holiday lace

It's 'tis the season to shop and hopefully score some great sales and I've been scoping my favorite online retailers to see what's new.  I love the romantic look of lace and this lovely wool sweater with lace by J. Crew caught my eye.  It would be great to wear to work with trousers or crisp blue jeans for the winter months.  

Glamorous Fireplaces

Ah, is it Thanksgiving yet?  I am so excited for the upcoming holidays.  It's my favorite time of year and I cannot wait to start putting up the Christmas tree, do some fun experimental baking in the kitchen, catch up with family over delicious dinner and of course scour online Black Friday sales.  It doesn't help that these photos just make my heart melt and only make me more anxious for the holidays to begin...
