Snow Day

Sweatshirt/ Sweatpants/ Slippers/ Nail Polish/ Movies/ Mug/ Hot Cocoa/ Jacket/ Throw

Today we are preparing for round two of our snow here in DC so I decided to focus today's post on the highlights of snow days: cuddling up in comfy clothes on the couch while catching up on movies and your DVR that's been filling up for weeks. One of my favorite things to do this time of year is throw on my warmest sweats, lay on the couch with a mug of hot chocolate (and tons of marshmallows) while watching snowflakes fall outside my large living room window. There is something about watching the large flakes that is so peaceful and puts me in holiday spirit instantly. And for those moments when you have to step outside (ahem, maybe the delivery guy has brought dinner) I highly suggest a puffy down coat to brave the weather. Above are some of my favorite things for a day home in the snow.

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.
