I apologize for my inconsistent posts last week as well as this week but the holidays, followed by aforementioned bf surprise, have taken up quite a bit of my time. I did want to give you the last look in this months style series so here it is

I stayed festive since everyone is gearing up for New Year’s and sparkle is a prerequisite. I love the color of this dress and the crisscross layering adds a little something special. You can see the other style series looks from this month looks here, here and here.

I am off to Vegas to ring in this New Year right! (New dresses, check. New Shoes, check. I’m ready to go!)

Happy New Year!

The texture of this top is so unique it reminds me of snow…or whipped cream. It was given to me by a friend and I thought wearing it a few days before Christmas seemed appropriate especially since there was no chance of a white Christmas in LA. But apparently there WAS a chance of an AMAZING Christmas! So let me fill you in on what happened…

There I am in my kitchen doing dishes the day after a very late girls night Holiday Soiree. My front door is open to let some fresh air in the house and my girlfriend is sitting on the couch just hanging out. Suddenly the screen door opens and someone walks in. I turn around and there stands my bf very matter of factly when all along he told me he wouldn’t be back from Iraq until January! I was beyond confused, excited, surprised….it was the best Christmas surprise I could’ve possible imagine! I jumped on him not knowing whether to laugh or cry. (Remember when I said goodbye?)

The next day we got on a plane to surprise his Mom. Christmas morning she rang the bell and we were standing there. You can imagine how happy she was! It has been a really great few days

He also informed me that he is whisking me to Vegas for New Years Eve…you know what that means…I need a new outfit!

I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas! xoxo

Yesterday I got the best Christmas surprise ever! My bf, who has been in Iraq for a year, literally walked through my door! (I thought he was returning in January) There are no words to describe how thrilled I am…This will truly be the best Christmas ever!

Happy Holidays to all of you!

Happy Monday! I had one of the most hectic weekends I’ve had in awhile! It was one of those run from place to place with very little rest in between weekends. I had fun but I am so exhausted! I guess that’s what the holidays are about…speaking of which, Christmas is this week! Usually I am traveling back to Boston for the holiday but this year I decided not to. My bf is still overseas   and I just didn’t feel like taking the trip to the cold. (plus flights are SO expensive!) Are you guys traveling?

This dress reminds me of Santa’s little helper. It’s fun and festive and perfect for Christmas. This is look 3 of this months style series featuring these sparkly shoes

When I saw this asymmetrical top at H&M for 9.95 it was a no brainer…it was coming home. Classic white with a little flare for 10 bucks? Sold! I added a pop of color to with my favorite Heather Belle clutch (which I use every chance I get) to this simple outfit to give it a little something extra.

Is anyone else floored that Christmas is one week away?? It really creeped up pretty quick didn’t it? This weekend is probably going to be a shopping nightmare but I intend to stay far away from the stores… my plan is to celebrate the holiday spirit by sipping champagne at the many holiday soirees I am attending (covered in sequins of course!) Have a great weekend!
