Buffalo gals won’t you come out tonight, won’t you come out tonight…Can you name that movie classic? I’ll give you a hint… It’s a Wonderful movie. The reason I’m quoting such old time-y classics is because this outfit gives me major vintage vibes. I’ve had this skirt in the back of my closet for years after I wore it one time to a Christmas Eve service. I was recently cleaning out my closet when I found it again! Midi skirts are super flattering on my tall build and pear shape and this color just screams Christmas time. I already know I’m wearing this to a cookie party next week, and I can’t wait!
Black Sweater Dress
It’s finally December and I couldn’t be happier. My schedule is filling up so fast and I wouldn’t have it any other way because I love keeping busy, especially around the holidays. This past weekend was pretty hectic for me, but I got to see so many close friends, so for that I am thankful. I worry I’m on the edge of getting sick at the moment, but hopefully drinking a ton of water and getting some much needed sleep will help fight that off. It certainly doesn’t help that I prefer to take my blog pictures outside in the freezing rain (yes it was raining when I took these pictures) but thankfully this outfit is surprisingly warm. Details below!
“The Jetsetter” Gift Guide
It’s been a few days, but I finally had time to make a new gift guide. This particular guide is for the person in your life who loves to travel. Some of these items are as cheap as $10, while others are much more expensive but last a while and are worth it. Even though Black Friday and Cyber Monday have already passed, some of these items are also on sale! Links are listed below:
And for those who celebrate, Happy Hanukkah!
“Taylor Swift Obsessed” Gift Guide
Highkey super excited for this gift guide! If you haven’t figured out yet what giant Taylor Swift fan I am by this point, then you haven’t been paying attention. So the truth is, I could list probably 1300 more things to get for the super Swiftie (I would personally like anything from this list…if I don’t already have it), but I ran out of room in this collage to add more and I had to cut it off at some point. So here are 20 things you can get for the Swiftie in your life. Some things are pricey, some things are SUPER on sale because Taylor’s online store is currently having a huge sale. Hope my fellow Taylor Swift fans like this one!
Grinch-y Green Dress
You nauseate me… Mr. Grinch. Fun fact: I have already watched ‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas’ (the Jim Carrey version) SEVEN times already….and it’s not even December yet. My friends will call me obsessed but honestly how can you not love such a hilarious classic? I could probably recite the entire movie…so you get the point…big Grinch guy. So my love of the Grinch is the inspiration behind this blog post. I got this dress a few weeks ago from Old Navy and its so soft and flowy. I’ve already worn it to work and church a few times. I really love this green color during the wintery months because this color definitely reminds me of Christmas, especially with a red plaid scarf. I’m also wearing my new DSW booties that make me super, unnecessarily tall. What can I say? I like to intimidate people…just like the Grinch…
“The Fit Girl” Gift Guide
Happy hump day! To help you get through the week, I thought I would share this gift guide for “the fit girl” in your life. I have to admit that a lot of this may be things that a girl who works out a lot already has, but I also think these are good gifts for the girl trying to be super fit in the new year. Hey, we all start somewhere!
My Experience With OrangeTheory Fitness
So for the past 8 weeks I have been working out at Orange Theory. I originally started because I wanted a work out class to give me a little push before my trip to Jamaica. I ended up signing up for one month, and then another month and now I’m hooked. My friend Emily originally told me about it and I am so glad she did. I seriously love these classes. I used to not push myself at the gym and get bored of my normal work outs, but Orange Theory keeps things fun, different and you always walk away feeling accomplished. I’ll try my best to explain the class and why I like it so much.
“The Friend Who Is Always Cold” Gift Guide
Here we have it: my first gift guide! Today I present gifts for ‘the friend who’s always cold’. I know I’m normally this friend and have most of this on my personal wish list or already in my closet. Some things on this gift guide are under $30 and others are little more of a splurge. A lot of these gifts are currently on sale so grab them before they’re gone!
Tan and Red Striped Sweater
Gobble Gobble y’all! It’s Turkey Day! Today my aunts, uncles and cousins are coming over to my house. Both of my brothers also made it home so its a full house! I’m trying out this new butternut squash recipe I hope everyone likes (but I haven’t been able to make it yet since the turkey is still in the oven). My family is loud and messy (in the best way) and I’m so excited to eat all of the food my mom and dad made this morning. Anyone else have sauerkraut on Thanksgiving? Right now my house smells like cabbage and I love it! Anyway, hope you enjoy your Thanksgiving, however you spend it, and here are some pictures of my new sweater that I’m wearing today. I got it from a local boutique downtown but I was able to find the link online! It’s super big and soft which means I can still wear it with a food baby and for my after dinner nap. Sounds like a perfect Thanksgiving to me!
