HOLIDAY GLAM

Happy holidays everyone! I'm not sure about you but every year I feel as if there is an event every weekend. Between family gatherings and holiday events, I feel like there is something to do all the time. It's a good thing I love collecting dresses. Just because. I feel like you can't go wrong with having a dress for every occasion. Sounds excessive, I know, but hey. I don't feel bad when I have backup dresses literally at any given time lol. I stay ready! HAHA. Anyhow. My girlfriend Malisa literally introduced me to a new line I had no idea existed and I'm so glad she did. It's called THEE GIRL. Totally not getting paid to write these words right now. It was just a nice brand that had dresses I totally like so I want to let you guys know. I have a few dresses from them so you'll see what I mean. Trust. You'd blog these dresses just because if you had them.

First look is a nice holiday glam look. Hope you guys like it!

What I Wore: Dress: Thee Girl | Faux Fur Coat: GUESS | Necklace: Vyn Jewelry | Watch: Bradford Watch

Fashion Tip: Winter style. Add a [faux] fur coat to any outfit for an insta-glam look.

The cute dainty necklace I'm wearing is from Vyn Jewelry - another line I just discovered. A great collection that is tied with an amazing cause. With every piece of VYN Jewelry sold, a portion of the proceeds go toward fighting hunger in Los Angeles, CA. It never hurts to help others just by shopping. They have a lot of really nice pieces so if you're looking for something to buy for friends or family, definitely check this site out.

Tis the season to give. Bradford Watch Co. is partnering with March of Dimes to to support research and programs that promote healthier pregnancies for all moms. Now through the season of giving, Bradford Watch Co. will proudly be donating a portion of our proceeds to help make every moment count for all the families and children supported by March of Dimes. You can learn more here.

I have a couple more looks to share with you from Thee Girl and with Christmas and New Year's right around the corner, I hope I can help you find options for your upcoming parties.

Good luck finishing your shopping. Stay safe out there. Be happy and stay merry. I love this holiday season!

HOLIDAY STYLE WITH BANANA REPUBLIC

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my favorite holidays for many reasons. I love all the lights, decorations and holiday music. Most of all, I love that it brings friends and families together. The holiday season puts most people in a positive mood and joyful spirit. You can't help but love this time of year. I'm partnering with Banana Republic to show you a couple of holiday looks. Because "no matter where you’re going for the holidays, arrive in style.

What I Wore (First Outfit): Blazer: Banana Republic | Pants: Style: SLOAN FIT - Banana Republic | Belt: Hermes: Stole from the BOYFRIEND's closet | Heels: Banana Republic | Bag: Saint Laurent | Sunnies: Zero UV

What I Wore (Second Outfit): Coat: Forever 21 | Silk Blouse: Banana Republic | Sunnies: Zero UV | Heels: Valentino | Bag: Saint Laurent

Fashion Tip: Tip for outfit #1 - Don't be afraid to mix textures and prints. It took me a long time to try velvet again because it's not always flattering on me but when I tried on this velvet blazer, it was so well fitted that the velvet didn't impact how it looked on me. Tip for outfit #2 - I loveeeee matching whites and tans. It is such a clean and crisp look. This season is all about layering so it is important to find great pieces that you can layer. My silk blouse is so comfortable and I love that the material is so light that it doesn't feel bulky when I add layers to it.

Velvet and burgundy are both great trends this season. I like to shop velvet dresses and burgundy blouses lately so I can have a good mix of both. I love burgundy for this season because it's the more muted cousin of red which can sometimes be too bold for some people. The neutral minimalist look is a timeless style that can be worn throughout the year. I love a good camel coat and clean white pants. Both are also great items to have in your closet. Both the velvet blazer and silk blouse are easily paired with other outfits, so I've had such an easy and fun time styling them. I hope you enjoyed both looks that I styled for Banana Republic.

Whatever you guys are doing for the holidays, I hope you all have a wonderful and amazing time with friends and family! Be safe and enjoy.

Happy Holidays everyone!
