Home for the Holidays with Payless ShoeSource

This time of year, I spend WAY too much time at my parents house. Luckily enough, they live less than 10 minutes away, making it easy to visit. However, during the holidays, I find myself spending whole days there, baking cookies, watching Christmas movies and just hanging out with my parents and siblings. It gets a little crazy with all of our dogs there. My parents have two (Finlee and Bailee) and I ALWAYS bring Stella along, but there really is no place I would rather be! 

Just like at my own home, I am always about comfort when relaxing at my parents home. This time of year, it's always fun to spend the day doing Christmas activities in cozy Christmas PJs. I picked these up for PJ day at school (yes, I wore these to work and my students LOVED it) and have spent a few days lounging in them. 

Of course a MUST have for snuggling up this time of year is a great pair of slippers and Payless ShoeSource has the cutest options! I love these grey moccasins because they are SO cozy and they have a soft sole so if I need to run out to my car to grab something, I can do so without having to mess with taking slippers off or putting on shoes. I'm not going to lie...I may have even ventured to the store this week wearing these cuties! I am obsessing over these bootie moccasins which would be perfect to wear for a night in or for winter travel (hello...SO cozy!). Asking for these cable knit slippers in my stocking because they are easy to slip on and are perfect for year round wear! Cozy feet are a MUST during the holidays (and winter in general), so do your feet a favor and check out Payless!

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!

Happy Monday!

I am officially on winter break and pretty excited about it! Time to sleep in, watch some Christmas movies and finish my shopping! Are you done with your shopping?

It was pretty hard to leave the house this weekend as the temperature never rose about 20 degrees. But not wanting to miss out on some festivities, I bundled up and ventured outside. 

Easy, basic outfits like the one above are perfect for cold days because they are so easy to layer! I wore this last weekend when it wasn't as cold, but could have easily paired this with a scarf and heavy coat to brave the frigid temps this weekend. I am OBSESSED with this crewneck sweater. It's super soft and comfortable and I love the fit. It comes in 4 colors (all fully stocked) and is just $40! I'm wearing an XS.
