Counting Down the Days

via

I am anxiously awaiting Christmas this year and have found myself counting down the days like I did when I was eight. I have candy canes, hot chocolate and gift giving on my mind and cannot wait for the next week to fly by so I can start my long-awaited holiday at home. I have not been home for Christmas since 2010 and am so excited to see my family over this snowy holiday this year. 

I actually just began my Christmas shopping this past weekend and am still trying to find the perfect gift for everyone on my list. I have two down and the rest to go-- but shopping for others is always so much fun that I tend to drag out the process longer than necessary. Hopefully I can have everything purchased/ ordered before I head home early next week.

Hope you had a great weekend!

It's Party Time

Dress/ Shoes/ Bag/ Cuff/ Rings 1 2 3/ Earrings/ Phone Case/ Nail Polish

It should come as no surprise that one of my favorite combos for the upcoming holiday season is green and gold. I love the way the two colors look together and it so easy to mix this combo up in a variety of ways. If we were having a holiday party at work this year, I would do everything I could to find a dress just like this one and pair it will piles of gold jewelry. Oh, and of course a sparkly phone case similar to the one I use on a daily basis. 

All Wrapped Up

Top: Spy-C no longer available  Skirt: H&M similar here  Scarf: Zara  Tights: Old Navy  Shoes: Nine West  Earrings: gifted  Glasses: c/o Glasses USA  Rings: gifted  Lipstick: Holiday Red c/o BA STAR  Nail polish: Essie Power Clutch

As you know, I can't seem to get enough of this scarf. I am pretty sure I have worn it/ carried it with me every day since it arrived on my doorstep. Today I wanted to bundle up in it like a big blanket in lieu of wearing an extra layer. I think I was extra inspired by Kendi to wear more and more of these blanket scarves as the temperatures continue to drop. It's so nice to leave the house without a big jacket in tow.

Also, I am extremely excited for this afternoon as I impulsively bought a flight to Vegas and am heading out for a long weekend.

Linking up with Tara.
