If you’re like me, finding the perfect holiday party outfit can go one of two ways. You either walk out the door feeling cool, calm, and collected – or you are running out the door while still putting in your sparkly earrings and slipping on your strappy pearl heels. Can you guess which category I usually fall into? Ha! I am not the most organized person but I have found that when I actually take time to plan what I am going to wear getting ready for the evening it is a much smoother process. And take it from me, it’s much for fun to get ready when you have a few of the details planned out. That way you can take your time, sip some rosé, and get into party mode.
Gift Guide | Hostess + Home Gift Ideas
Phew! Black Friday and Cyber Monday are now behind us. Did you guys get a lot of shopping done? I honestly didn’t buy too much but the”big” purchase I made was finally getting a convertible car seat for my son. I got the Nuna Rava – it was $100 off so I couldn’t resist! It’s still on sale here too in case anyone is interested!
Anyhow I wanted to get you guys some more gift guides out this week. This one is for that person in your life who loves everything “home”. The person who hosts the holiday parties, who likes to sip their homemade cappucino, and drink wine out of a chic copper wine glass – because why not, right?

Favorite Winter Staples
Apple pie for breakfast…all time high, or all time low? I’m gonna go with all time high to make myself feel better, haha! Still in my sweats and my baby boy just went down for a nap so I wanted to hop online to get this post up for you guys.
This sweater is almost sold out but they have few sizes left here and this one is super similar and really cute too! Also, I wanted to tell you guys about my pant-like-leggings I am wearing! So, this is my 2nd pair of these pants and I literally wear them multiple times a week. When I go to the office I typically pair them with a pair of flats and a cute blouse. And they are the perfect pants to layer under over-the-knee boots. But trust me – this is NOT a sponsored post I just love these pants a ton and wanted to share the love with you guys. They are super thick and suck you in like non-other. You can get them here and looks like they are offering 40% off today! Woo hoo!

How to Wear Velvet This Season
The velvet trend this season is real you guys. Velvet has been one of my favorite fabrics for years now so you can only imagine my happiness right now. One quick walk through Nordstrom and you will see velvet popping up everywhere! I noticed velvet making it’s way into every department – from booties, to dresses, to top & pants, even jumpsuits (perfect NYE idea BTW).
