So... I've got the Holiday Blues.... (aka strep)!! When we did these pictures I had a different version of a Blue Christmas on my mind... Tables have turned; however, and I can barely swallow, let alone speak. Christmas Eve service this afternoon should be interesting! I do love blue for Christmas though. I feel like blue is one of the colors that gets lost in the mix of red, green, and all things plaid... and it really is a gorgeous color for the season. I found this sweater when out doing what I do best, buying too much for myself and not enough for everyone else. It was on super sale at the factory when the 50% off with an additional 20% was going on... STEAL! We are staying a little more casual for Christmas Eve with me being sick so I think this look will do just the trick.

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas Eve with family and friends. Let us be grateful for our blessings and not take a moment for granted.

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!)
