Cozy Front Porch For Christmas Eve 2015

I can’t believe Christmas Eve 2015 is tonight and just one more sleep until Christmas day! Although, you can’t even tell over here considering that it pretty much feels like summer outside at 75 degrees plus buckets and buckets of rain! I can’t complain too much though because if hot, rainy weather and terrible traffic are the only two things putting a damper on my holiday, then I’d consider myself pretty lucky! I feel so blessed for the amazing year I’ve experienced so far and I can’t wait to see what 2016 brings. I’m especially grateful for this guy in the photos below! The fact that he puts up with me and my ridiculousness makes me love him even more! For example, he loathes taking photos, but I made him take these pictures with me for the holidays and he was very cooperative, well, for the most part at least. Anyway, after we took the photos I realized that the christmas lights looked prettier at a different time in the day so I insisted that we go for round two the next day. Blake was less than thrilled about the idea, but he still did it anyway and even managed to crack a smile for a few pictures too.

How To Wear The Cape Blazer

December 20, 2015

I’m sure that by now you’ve all seen the new cape blazer/coat trend and if you saw my last post featuring the cape blazer, then you know that I refer to it as the “new tailored blazer” with a hint of edgy, chic. The last time I styled the cape blazer it was for a much dressier occasion so today I’m showing how to wear the cape blazer in a more casual-chic way. If you’re going for sophisticated-chic with legging jeans, over the knee boots paired with a satchel is always a good route to take. The over the knee boots complement the sleek vibe of the jeans and allows the cape blazer to do all the talking! Also, when it comes to capes, I find that I prefer bare arms over long sleeves, because I think it looks more slimming that way, but that’s just my personal preference. I’ve seen people style long sleeves beneath capes and it turn out amazing so it’s totally up to how the overall look makes you feel.

Good Morning everyone and Happy Weekend! Is this not the most stunning, rich, red Christmas Eve Dress you’ve ever seen? And I must say the winter white, faux fur coat adds the perfect finishing touch! To style the dress, I stacked on plenty of Julie Vos statement jewels and a simple pyrite stone necklace along with two different Gigi New York clutch options. However, even without all of the accessories, the dress alone is guaranteed to turn heads!

P.S. I’m 5 ft and I was able to get away with wearing dress without getting it hemmed first. Just wear tall heels!
