Doesn’t this color make you think of Bordeux, France? I definitely see it and who isn’t always prepared for a trip to this country?
As always, thank you for stopping by! Happy New Years!

It’s just a little under two weeks and Christmas will have arrived. This year has definitely gone by quick and to keep up with the holiday spirits, I brought out this little cape coat from two seasons ago. It definitely is a staple for many Fall/Winter seasons to come.
But what I am really excited about is this weekend! It will be filled with some early present openings and a Family Christmas dinner. Christmas always brings the best feeling (right after my birthday of course 🙂 )
I hope your weekend will be filled with just as much joy! Thanks so much for reading. Click the links below and get to shopping for this holiday outfit!

It’s been awhile since my last post. I’ve been caught in a whirlwind of personal things but now it’s catch up time.
I have been drawn to this color palette since fall because it’s so easy and fresh in a sea of dark tones. But it was really cold out during this shoot and I  just wanted to run back inside. Although that would’ve been a waste of a beautiful snowfall.
Now that Christmas is just around the corner and New Year’s is right behind, I’m excited for all the festive outfits. Thanks so much for stopping by and you can shop this look below!

Alas, the snow has come. And here the sweaters will all come to shine.

This color scheme has been my go to lately because it’s such refreshing colors in a sea of dark for this season. And I, of course, couldn’t go without dressing up the handbag with some fur for a luxe look. I’m quite sad that most leaves have now gone. They weren’t here for very long and now winter is coming.
Nonetheless, I hope everyone had a good weekend. It’s been a long one for me. But I’m most excited for the weather to get a little colder so I can start pulling out more sweaters and cute cozy coats. Thanks so much for stopping by!

This year I participated in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (with just about every fashion lover under the sun) and bought these Halogen over the knee boots (one of the few purchases I made). And here I am wearing them for the first time since the purchase. I was waiting on a great piece to start it off with and this body skimming dress did wonders.
I love over the knee boots and the fact that they conceal more leg and let a sweater dress (or any mini skirt/dress) sit a little higher, giving you the feel of sexy without over revealing.
