Velvet Off the Shoulder Top

I told you yesterday that you would be seeing more velvet around here...and I'm back at it again today! Is there anything better than an off the shoulder velvet top? The moment I saw this cutie from Antique Garden, I envisioned wearing it all December long. It's the perfect party top! Pair with some skinny jeans and booties and accessorize with some sparkly earrings and you've got a cute and festive look that's perfect for a holiday party or NYE!

Velvet Swing Dress

One trend I am loving this season is velvet...so be prepared to see more of it soon! There are so many cute velvet pieces out there that would be perfect for the holidays. This is one of my NYE contenders. I love the swing fit and the burnout floral print. I also love that it would be easy to dress up or down. Pair it with some tights and a cardigan and this could easily be worn on a weekend or a dinner date night! This cutie is currently on sale, and I've linked up a few more I wouldn't mind adding to my closet this season!

The holidays are here and it's time to don your holiday best and celebrate in all of the holiday festivities! I always get excited to pick up a few new party dresses this time of year. I look for classic items that can be worn multiple ways throughout the season. This velvet cutie by J.O.A.was a clear winner. A LBD is a closet must have that can be worn time and time again! It's easy to mix and match and can be paired with any color! I've actually already styled this mini 3 times! I can't wait to share a few more looks with you in the next few weeks! 

The most important part of your holiday party attire? The shoes! Wearing a LBD to a holiday party ensures that what's on your feet will be the shining star of your ensemble! The moment I saw these red lace-up heels, I knew they would be perfect for the holiday season. On trend and ridiculously comfortable, these are perfect for mingling at your work Christmas party or dancing the night away on NYE! If your looking for something a little more classic, check out these gold ankle strap sandals. These cuties have a sleek design and minimal straps. You could pair these with just about anything and the smaller heel ensures you will stay comfortable on your feet through the evening! Looking for something a little more daring? How about these lace up sandals? These look great year round (I have a similar pair that I wore to many weddings this summer), and also make your legs look fantastic! 

Whatever your style, Payless ShoeSource has your holiday shoes covered! With a variety of styles from classic to on trend, there is something for everyone! The best part? They are all reasonably priced! All of my picks? $20 and under!

Little Red Valentine Dress

 Dress: c/o SheIn // Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mab Mini // Shoes: Nordstrom //

Happy Tuesday!

I hope everyone had a great 3 day weekend! My 3 days was spent relaxing, eating good food and spending quality time with my loved ones! E and I tried fondue for the first time (using this SUPER easy recipe found off Pinterest). It turned out delicious and we used minimal ingredients...something I recommend when you are Fondue'ing for the first time! 

Our first married Valentine's was perfect. We made a late brunch of delicious waffles, watched a rom-com, took a nap, took our puppy for a walk and then went out to dinner. This dress was absolutely perfect for the occasion! I love that it is simple, but the lace and open back spice it up a bit! I styled it very simply, with lace up flats and a white bag. I could have easily paired it with heels and a sparkly necklace to dress it up a bit more, but wanted a more low-key romantic look!

 Merry Christmas Eve!

I can't believe it's already here! This year has really flown by! I decided to take some time off from blogging this week to focus on catching up on some things and spending time with family. I know you guys understand how hectic things can get and sometimes you just need to take a step back to refresh and recharge! I'm heading out of town next week and have a few posts pre-scheduled, but will hopefully be back to my regular blogging schedule the first full week of January! 

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas spent with the ones you love! 

This weeks look of the week from last weeks linkup is Kacie of Regally Soled! Kacie's red plaid scarf and green dress are such a perfect holiday combo! I love that she added a leather jacket and OTK boots to make this outfit so cute and cool!
