We're officially in the season of all things celebration. Whether it's a family shindig, your office Christmas party, or ringing in the New Year I've got you covered. I can't resist all things sparkly, especially this time of year. So bring on all the shiny things and sequins, more is more!
We are officially less than a month away from the big guy making his way down the chimney... craziness! My heart is full after a fun Thanksgiving weekend with the fam, crossing LOTS of my Christmas shopping list, and decking the halls for this weekend's annual Christmas party. Lil' miss helped decorate for the first time which was beyond adorable. I'm just glad she hasn't pulled anything off the tree yet...
*My little fam on Thanksgiving - yes I'm twinning with my girl*
Now that Thanksgiving is over, the house is decorated, and I'm almost done with shopping for family and friends I've started rounding up my list to send to Santa. My wish list ranges from fashion must-haves to beauty items, books, games, entertaining pieces, and even extension cables for my SNES Classic. This girl would like to sit farther from the tv than 3 feet while playing Super Mario...
I think we can all agree that stretchy pants are the champion when it comes to Thanksgiving style, or in the words of Chandler Bing should be worn every day every day every day....
I mean.. it's not Thanksgiving without a Friends reference. Geller Cup anyone? Monica with her head in a turkey? Brad Pitt's cameo? The BEST! But a cozy oversized sweater and stretchy pants are the ultimate win on turkey day, am I right?
I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends, and enjoy every second of the much needed long weekend.

I also rounded up all of my beauty favs here to get your holiday glam on for all the upcoming parties and family gatherings.
As much as I love a good holiday party, and finding the perfect dress I'm terrible at one thing - doing my hair. If it's not blow dried straight or thrown into a ponytail for a workout I've got nothing. I was excited to be invited to a local blogger event at Cherry Blow Dry Bar for a fun girls night, bubbles, snacks, and fabulous hair-dos that made us all ready for the fun parties coming up.
"Before" shot with a mimosa of course
"After" - so fresh and so clean clean
To complete the look, you need to add some glam makeup. The Sephora sale is going on through today, and I rounded up some of my fav products that'll help you achieve the perfect holiday glow for your next event or make great stocking stuffers for others.

I've had my Clarisonic Mia for 7 years now, and it's still going strong. Worth every penny of the $99 investment, just don't forget to replace your brush head regularly.

The past several weeks have been SO crazy between being super busy at work as we wrap up the last of our global events for the year, keeping up with friends, social events, and making sure I'm fully present at home for lil' miss and my husband which is by far the most important. I'm exhausted you guys... no joke. And we're not even into the holiday season yet.
But that doesn't mean it's not fun. I'm still LOVING my job, and couldn't be more blessed and thankful for my little family and amazing friends. I think Thanksgiving is coming at the best time. It'll be time to stop and actually just "be". Sleep in, spend the whole day with my little family, and enjoy a long weekend of decking the halls. My fav!
This weekend, I laid low mostly as I was dealing with a nasty cold which I totally blame on said busyness at the beginning of this post. I'm just maxed out, and my body caught up with me. But, I rallied to celebrate a good friend's birthday at a new to us brunch spot and of course bottomless mimosas.
I rocked this look on our trip to Connecticut a few weeks ago, but it only just cooled off enough for me to enjoy here in the sunshine state too. I love how versatile (and COMFY) the whole outfit is. In CT, I wore my fav Uggs to keep my feet warm but here I'm wearing them with heels to dress it up a little or it could totally be worn with sneakers or flats as well.
My favorite addition to this look is my new wood watch as both my husband and I are watch people and love collecting new pieces to go with different occasions and celebrations. I've been so intrigued by wood watches, and can't get over how pretty this Purpleheart and Plum piece is.I've gotten so many compliments on it already, and people keep talking about the craftsmanship and how stylish it is.
