Don't you just love jewel tones? I know they really resonate with the holidays, but jewel tones really can be just for everyday... all year long. I wore this Christmas Day when I was still feeling pretty terrible. I didn't feel like getting super dressed up, but wanted to look pulled together all the same. This baseball tee was a recent purchase from Forever 21, kind of a no brainer when it was $8.80. It was super soft... and fit the bill for our "Cozy Christmas" theme this year. I threw on my favorite distressed jeans from Gap, a statement necklace, and my purple heels and was ready to go.

My Christmas "peak" this year? These locks! I am beyond grateful to have received them just in time for Christmas! I feel like I'm back to my old self. A few months ago my hair stylist suggested I do a little cleaning up of my dead ends and let my hair grow healthy in the coming months for the wedding... but I have felt so completely naked without my hair! So, Luxy saved the day... I am obsessed with these... the best part is you really would never know! If you go back to older posts... this really just looks like my old hair. I warmed up the color which I like much better and here we are... Long, healthy, happy hair!

I highly recommend these extensions to anyone! The best part is they truly gear each piece to the right type of hair. I have super fine hair so the 120 g set in 18 was perfect for me. Another perk, the Luxy sisters have a million hair tutorial videos... so the possibilities with these babies are endless! 

I'm finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel with this sickness, thankfully. I had a wonderful holiday and I hope you did as well. 

Enjoy your weekend Lovelies!

Tender Tennessee Christmas...

Pj's: Aerie// Slippers: AE// Lippie: Lady Danger// Watch: MK// Bracelet: J Crew

Remember me talking about PJ necessities for Christmas morning, here? I can't imagine a Christmas morning without a new pair... and these were just too cute to pass up. I love how simple they are, but the little added touches that make them special... We will be spending our Christmas cozy since I'm still not feeling well... but nonetheless are so excited to have the day together as a family. This is our last Christmas as singletons! Next year will be much different so we are relishing in things today that are soon to be changing... not for the better or worse... but just BIG changes. 

Merry Christmas Everyone! Enjoy your day!

Plaid for Christmas

Scarf: Forever 21, in store only, similar// Sweater: Forever 21// Jeans: 7FAM//

 Boots: Hunter// Bag: Michael Kors// Watch: Michael Kors// Bracelet: J Crew

In my opinion, Christmas and plaid go hand in hand. Plaid is such a classic print and can really help to pull together any look. Like everyone else I know, I am obsessed with blanket scarves right now! I have been loving the Zara one that can be seen wherever you turn, but never got around to ordering it... so finding this one over the weekend at our Forever 21 made me one happy girl. The print on this is a little bit more bold, but also came in at half the price ($12.80).

I wore this over the weekend during our annual visit to Dollywood to see the Christmas decorations. It had been super rainy all day so my Hunter boots were a must. It wasn't super chilly since we are having bi-polar weather here in Tennessee... so a cable knit sweater was plenty enough to keep me warm. I've worn this more times than I'd like to admit in the past couple weeks, but I just gravitate towards cozy sweaters right now. 

I hope you have a wonderful Monday and are as excited for Christmas as I am. I am still feeling pretty under the weather and am hoping this all clears up before Wednesday! Prayers appreciated!

Classic Cool...

Vest: Forever 21, similar// Top: Jcrew// Denim: Hudson// Bag: Rebecca Minkoff// 

Heels: Stuart Weitzman// Watch: Michael Kors// Nails: OPI Big Apple Red// Lippie: Saint Germain

There is just something about a simple color combination mixed with some metal... So effortless... yet the look is pulled together and chic. Numero uno... this bag! I decided I needed a new purse when cleaning out my closet a few weeks ago. I had a couple ideas for what I wanted to go for, but hadn't completely decided on anything. One night I went perusing online and started looking again at the amorous satchel on Rebecca Minkoff's site.  I had been eyeing the black for some time, but the rose gold just struck me. I looked at it every couple hours and finally decided I had to have it! I was weary of how the metallic would translate in person... and patiently awaited it's arrival (shipping with them is a dream BTW). When it came I couldn't have been more pleased! Seriously! Best bag! It goes with everything, is saffiano leather which is SO durable, and looks so incredibly expensive... but for this kind of bag... wasn't. I am so happy with this purchase!

I also went searching for another faux fur vest that didn't break the bank.... I looked and looked and finally went with this one from Forever 21. I checked our store several times and was never pleased with the selection I found and came across this one on their website.  It has hidden pockets and is a little longer which I like. I also love the color! It almost has a feather-like effect rather than fur... but I actually am digging that! 

Two great pieces in one week... I'll consider that success! 

Hope you are having a great week prepping for Christmas! I cannot wait!

(I also have been sick this week so sorry for the delay in posting!)

By the Tree...

Sweater: Forever 21 // Denim: Hudson// Flats: Asos, similar// 

Necklace: Jcrew (on sale)// Watch: Michael Kors// 

Bracelet: Jcrew// Coffee Mug: Anthropologie

Christmas is almost here: 9 days and counting! This week each post will feature a look that can be worn for the holidays. I know we all have a packed schedule the next week or so.... and there's no reason to look less than your best. Something we spend lots of time doing is having movie and cocoa nights by the tree. Sometimes Luke and I do this on our own... and sometimes with friends and family. It's not really the time to be wearing PJ's, especially if you have company. So, keeping cozy yet pulled together is a must. 

My go to for these occasions is a pair of comfy jeans and an oversized cable knit sweater. I found this one at Forever 21 for $22.80!!! If you are on the hunt for sweaters to bundle up in this winter RUN over there right now! So many to choose from and all $30 and under!!! 

With the color being so simple I jazzed up the look with a bright lip and statement necklace. This look would work just as well with the red version of the sweater.

I hope your holidays are off to a great start and that you have a wonderful Monday!

Christmas Cheer

Top: Michael Kors// Skirt: Forever 21 old, similar// Shoes: Jcrew, similar // Watch: Michael Kors// Bracelet: J Crew// Tights: Target// Bag: Rebecca Minkoff

The weekend is upon us, and considering we only have 20 days until Christmas (OMG!!!)... I thought I should spread some Christmas Cheer. I have to admit... the holidays bring both good and bad feelings for me. I lost my mother almost four years ago... and our family really hasn't been the same since. So, needless to say the holidays cause me to miss her even more than usual. Bright colors, sequins, and my favorite people seem to keep my spirits high so you can plan on seeing a lot of that around here the next  couple weeks. 

If Christmas cheer isn't your thing, maybe a little giggle will do the trick! Guess where I ended up wearing this get-up yesterday??? Waiting for AAA to come help me fix a flat tire!!!! My first one and I was devastated! To top it off... I was on my way to get these cray cray roots fixed!!! So excuse that for now... will be fixed Friday!

Happy Almost Weekend!!! I hope the week has treated you well and you're out there making the world sparkle!
