Outfit Post: Winter White

There is something about a fur vest that can totally dress up a simple outfit. The other day I wore my new favorite oversized long sleeve {from Shein.com} with a pair of black jeans and threw this vest on and I totally felt pulled together even though I was wearing three extremely comfortable pieces. Being "stylish" doesn't mean you need to be in uncomfortable clothes :)

Outfit Post: On The Run

I hope everyone had an amazing holiday! It is always the best being with friends, family and loved ones around this time of year.

This look was on repeat {literally} this past weekend. I got some new Nikes for Christmas and lets just say, these bad boys aren't only going to be for working out. I LOVE the sneakers with jeans look. I never thought I'd be saying it, but I do. If you are nervous about it, try pairing them with all black and layering with a leather jacket.

Also HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my amazing mom and one of my biggest supporters :) I hope you had an amazing day! xoxoxo

GIFT GUIDES// The Entertainer

I am so excited to launch a fun little holiday series on the blog. I know a ton of bloggers are doing this right now but I think it's fun to see everyone's different take on it. Here is the first installment and this one is all for "the entertainer".

Ever since we got our home I have loved to have friends over, cook and make drinks. It's such a fun way to spend a Saturday night {or even a week night #humpday}. Hopefully some of these items will come in handy when shopping for that "hostess with the mostess" this year.
