Sweater // Similar Scarf here and here // Similar Distressed Jeans // Pom Hat // Rebecca Minkoff Cross Body Bag // Taudrey Necklace  // Payless ShoeSource Booties

I am ALWAYS looking for boots that I can take from work to the weekend! They have to be able to easily be dressed up or down and they MUST be comfortable!  This time of year, I look for cute boots to wear for all of the holiday festivities, whether it's for a laid-back holiday work function, or Christmas shopping with my sister's on the weekend. Like any girl, I also love variety. Who wants to wear the same shoes day after day? That is why I love Payless ShoeSource. I can find all of the latest trends and stock up on a few pairs without breaking the bank! 

 A black shoe is good for SO many occasions...especially during the holidays! I love a classic pair of ankle booties like these zip ankle boots for day to day wear. They look adorable with jeans or black skinnies and can be easily paired with a festive sweater and scarf for a day of shopping or dinner with your bestie who is in town for the holidays! These over the knee boots are super on trend and are the perfect pair to have in your closet over the holidays! They are wonderful for throwing on with leggings and an oversized sweater for a coffee date or pair with a mini skirt and moto jacket for a cool date night look! If it's a little heel you crave, check out these block heel booties. Pair these with a pair of skinny jeans and a soft sweater for a holiday pub crawl or a double date. 

The best thing about all of these fabulous black boots? They are ALL under $40 at Payless! So pick up your favorite pair for the holidays...or maybe even all three. I won't tell!

Over the knee boots and white skinny jeans are one of my favorite winter combos! I've been wearing this sweater non-stop because it is ridiculously cozy and the length is perfect. It was a no-brainer to pair it with my favorite skinnys and boots! I accessorized with a scarf and a hat for an easy weekend look. This is definitely an outfit I will be repeating all winter long!

Guys...it's snowing.

I enjoy snow best when I am snuggled up with a blanket, sipping hot chocolate and watching a Christmas movie.

Although I have to tell you, when my first grade kiddos discovered it was snowing yesterday, it kind of melted my heart. We were lining up for lunch, and one student happened to glance out the window. "IT'S SNOWING," she screamed and I watched 21 first graders flock to the windows. They seemed to lose their minds for about 30 seconds as a few ran around screaming while others jumped up and down. I had to smile. Oh the joys of snow when you are 7 years old. "Okay...okay," I laughed as I tried to get them to calm down. Finally I told them we would celebrate by doing a snow dance. "Dance like a snowflake! But snowflakes don't talk, so shhhhh!" They took this very seriously and it was SO cute. Do you remember the joy you felt when you were little on the first snow fall of the season?

PS this sweater is perfect for snuggling up and watching the snow fall and it's currently on sale! It comes in 5 colors and is perfectly oversized (I'm wearing an XS) and ridiculously cozy! 

Gift's for Her Under $25

Happy Monday! 

I hope you had a wonderful weekend! My weekend went by quickly as I worked on report cards and prepared some posts for this week. My husband and I also picked out a Christmas tree and I am LOVING how my house now officially feels (and smells!) like Christmas! 

Today I am sharing some gifts for her, all $25 and under! These would be perfect for a friend or co-worker but would also make great stocking stuffers. My favorite thing to do for my best friends and sisters is to get a few gifts together, all under $25, and put them together. Think spa night or cozy winter essentials!
