Hey babes! I’ve been off the blogging grid for the last few days as we’ve been enjoying all 7 (yes, 7) Christmas gatherings with our families. I hope you all had as wonderful of a Christmas as we did! As the year is drawing to a close, I am so looking forward to all the new beginnings in 2017. I am so thankful for each and every one of you who have helped my little blog to grow. I am so appreciative of all your sweet comments and support over the last few months.

Has anyone else been taking advantage of all the post-Christmas sales? If you haven’t already, check out my picks from my favorite retailer’s Half Yearly Sale under the “Shop My Instagram” tab. This cowl neck tunic is one of my favorite pieces from the sale, and it is constantly out of stock (for good reason). It is the softest, stretchiest material and so easy to just throw on with leggings, and go! I’m also wearing my new favorite leggings today, and I can finally say that I see what all the fuss is about with these. I have heard so many bloggers raving about these leggings, but the price tag had always scared me off. However, the last time they went on sale, I finally snagged a pair and… I’m in love. They are super comfortable, not at all see through, AND have a wide waistband! I can honestly say that they are worth the investment!

What is everyone’s New Year’s Eve plans?

Good morning babes! The countdown to Christmas is on! What have you been doing to enjoy these special days leading up to it? Adam and I have been busy finishing up our shopping and wrapping gifts. I have also been soaking up the days at home with lots of coffee and Hallmark movies!

Yesterday, I braved the cold to shoot this adorable Buffalo Plaid Coat from SheIn. You all know that I’m obsessed with anything plaid, and this coat is no exception! I knew it was going to be cute, but when it came in the mail I literally let out a squeal. This is the perfect statement piece. As you can see, I wore all black underneath and let my coat and scarf be the focus of this look. I’m also a big pattern mixer, so I added this fun scarf to bring out the red on my lips. [Side note: If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a hundred times, ColourPop’s Creeper is the perfect shade of red. It’s my go-to.] As far as sizing for this coat goes, I ordered the small and the fit is great, but it was slightly snug in the sleeves. So, if you plan on wearing sweaters underneath, I would suggest sizing up. Did I mention this coat is only $24?! It also comes in red & black and I’m pretty sure that I will be adding that piece to my closet ASAP. I’ve linked the rest of my outfit below. I think it goes without saying that the BP mock neck sweater is still my absolute favorite sweater this season, and I always recommend Hue leggings! These leatherette leggings add the perfect touch of sass to any Winter look.

Hi loves! Can you believe it’s only 5 more sleeps until Christmas? It seems so crazy to me! This is my favorite time of year, and I’m already feeling a little sad that it’s almost over.

Bungalow 123 has the cutest pieces, and all at great prices! This faux fur vest would be an excellent addition to your Winter wardrobe. It also comes in tan! A furry vest can make any outfit look chic. Pair it with a colorful sweater like I did here, or dress it up with an all black look underneath.

Hey babes! I hope your week has been great so far. It has been a very busy week in 1st grade! We have been wrapping up all of our holiday activities before the last day on Friday. We have made ornaments, Christmas presents, and even had a pajama and movie day! I am so tired, but it’s been a lot of fun. Today, I wanted to share a more casual look for the holidays. And let me just say, this teacher is ALL about the casual this week! This sequin pocket and elbow patch dress from RaeLynn’s Boutique has just the right amount of sparkle. It’s a great dress to throw on for a casual holiday dinner, shopping trip, or get together with friends. If you like the idea of sequins, but aren’t ready to fully commit, this is the perfect in-between choice! It’s also the perfect length to wear with your leggings… which is always a win in my book! You can shop my sequin pocket dress here.

Hi loves! I am so excited to share JORD Wood Watches with all of you! If you’re like me, you’ve probably seen JORD’s Wood Watches all over social media and Pinterest. I had always been curious as to what was so special about these watches, and now, I finally know. First, the wood comes from all over the world, making this watch the most unique accessory I own. Second, the sleek design and smooth finish made me instantly fall in love. I am wearing the Frankie series in Zebrawood & Navy. I love the large face on the Frankie watch. I have gotten so many compliments on this watch, most of which were directed toward the uniqueness of the band and the size of the face. Adam even keeps trying to sneak it on to wear to work. (We are currently picking him out one of his own!) I highly recommend this watch, and I think it would make a great gift. Especially for that person who is hard to buy for!  Shop my exact watch here. But that’s not all… You can also enter this giveaway to win a JORD Wood Watch of your own! AND, just for entering, you’ll receive a $25 JORD gift card! Merry Christmas!!!
