Happy New Year’s Eve! Spoiler Alert: I’m getting drunk tonight. I’m also gonna wear a dress and some heels and ringing in 2019 with some of my best friends. Currently I’m watching the Reputation Tour on Netflix and crying my eyes out. Thankfully I can still see my keyboard so I can share these pictures I took with one of my best friends, Ashley, the other night when we were bored and wanted to play dress up. I hope you get some mad NYE vibes from this post. I got the inspiration for these pictures when I was on Pinterest looking up NYE photos and a lot of 60s disco pics kept coming up. I also want to add a disclaimer that while I am holding a drink in these pictures, I am not intoxicated. But I will be tonight. Thanks for understanding that.

Can you believe Christmas is on Tuesday? I’ve been working all week so it honestly feels so far away! I need to really sink into the holly-jolly spirit, which isn’t hard when I’ve worn an ugly Christmas sweater everyday this week. The sweater I’m wearing in this post is not one of those (obviously) but it is my first cropped sweater and I’m a big fan. It’s from Vici and the link is below!

New Years Eve is less than 2 weeks away, which is just enough time to order a brand new outfit for whatever exciting New Years plans you have! I am currently deciding between two dresses I have (which are actually featured in one of these collages below). I love dressing up for NYE so I had so much fun putting together these guides! Hope you find something you love!
Read More >>Emerald Sequin Dress
New Years Eve is one of my favorite holidays just based on the notion that it is the most socially acceptable holiday to wear glitter. Most years I don’t even have decisive plans before I buy an outfit. That was the case this year when I bought this dress from Lulu’s on Black Friday. You can probably already tell how much I love this green color this season so I really couldn’t resist buying this shimmery, sparkly dress. I’m so glad this dress matches up with the plans that I made after I bought it!

So I’ve been living off of nothing buy Christmas cookies for the past week and a half, but I’ve also been drinking a lot of Kombucha and green tea so I’m pretty sure it evens out…right?
Remember my super talented photographer best friend Kayla? Well the other day we made these delicious cookies after a long day of taking photos. Her family just redid their kitchen and their house is mega decorated for Christmas so it was a magical time. Kayla and I grew up in the same neighborhood and even though my family doesn’t live their anymore, Kayla’s house feels like a second home. Details for the cookies we made are below!

As someone who works 40 hours a week and is required to wear business casual 80% of the time (shout out to Yoga Monday where I get to wear yoga pants to work), I’m always on the hunt for versatile clothes that I can wear to work and on the weekends when I’m adventuring with friends. So when I find dresses like this, I snatch them up as quickly as possible. I’ve been able to wear this dress to work with some loafers and to a holiday party with these over-the-knee boots. I also wore this exact outfit to see Anastasia at the Hippodrome in Baltimore the other day with Allison (and the show was spectacular btw). I can already tell this dress is going to get a lot of wear in the next few weeks before Christmas!

I am loving the whole jumpsuit trend thats going on and I keep finding more and more dresses that would be perfect for a holiday party..but alas, I lack any sort of invitation to such a soiree. Here are some of my top picks (that you may also want to get express shipping on if your holiday party you need it for is before Christmas).

In this case, this gift guide applies to me buying gifts for my brothers and my closest guy friends. But for you, it may be for your boyfriend or husband or that “guy that you just started talking to because its cuffing season and you don’t even know if you’re doing the whole ‘gift thing’ but you need to have something prepared just in case“. Yeah…that’s this gift guide. I called up a few of my best guy friends and double checked my brother’s Christmas lists and this is what I came up with. Hope you like it!
Green A-Line Dress
Do you have an article of clothing that hangs in your closet for 364 days, just waiting for that one day when you can finally wear it? For me, that is this dress. I bought this dress when I was a sophomore in college when I was still figuring out my personal style and felt like I needed to switch up what I was gonna wear to something I have gone to every year since I was born: Christmas Eve church service. Ever since that, I’ve worn this every year without fail. What can I say? We love a reoccurring classic.
Read More >>Christmas Eve Service Dress Guide
One of the earliest Christmas memories is my family and I have is going to Christmas Eve service at my church. For years we have helped out with the service and I always look forward to seeing familiar faces and all the adorable little babies dressed up. I myself love dressing to the nines for any occasion, but I think dressing up for Christmas Eve and going to church requires a certain kind of dress that is both conservative and classy. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be fashionable and festive! Here are a few dresses I like (and if you like them too, you may wanna pay a little extra for 3 day shipping, because Christmas Eve is only 2 weeks away!)
