Holiday Party Must Haves

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...
in the malls...



Don't worry, I got your back girl! 
Put on those comfy sweats, grab yourself some hot chocolate, and hit play on that Pandora Christmas station and lets do some ONLINE shopping!

Whether you have a work holiday party, family Christmas dinner, going out for New Years, or attending a winter wedding, everyone has an event this season that they want to look FABULOUS for! 



For the work party -

The hubs or yours, I definitely suggest going a little more modest! 
This dress is perfect! Or a pop of color, this bow dress is super cute!

If you want to go pants and a sweater, this is your look! Those sleeves! 
I think I'm going to have to get this whole outfit to be honest!

This skirt is everything too!! 

Christmas dinner or friends party or New Yeas eve -



I think you can show a little more skin at those events! 
{okay not that much, but you get the idea}

You guys this shirt is magic! Or this one! Either with some skinny black pants, and boom, cue the song Confident by Demi Lovato!

BUT, this dress is life! SO pretty! and sexy!
Looking for a winter white? I would definitely pick this! Flirty and fun!

And to stay on trend, I am loving everything velvet, like this dress! 
Plus, wrap dresses look good on any body shape!

Looking for that perfect New Years Eve dress....look no more! This is epic!



Alright, if you are looking for something a little bit more casual, maybe for that in-laws Christmas dinner, go for the skinny jeans {I am currently living in Old Navy's rockstar jeans} and an oversized sweater! 
Either with heels or boots depending on the occasion -its a hit every time and bonus you can hide all that yummy food you eat!

I actually have this sweater in the mauve AND black! It is so soft and super flattering! And again, statement sleeves is where its at right now!

Winter wedding -

Okay guys, this is me this year, Ben and I have a wedding at the end of the month and 
I have been wanting a black jumpsuit FOREVER! 

So I finally found one after searching the internet for weeks! 


Don't worry I'll show a complete look the day of the wedding!
Jumpsuit not your thing? Not a problem, so many amazing dresses this season to choose from! 
Sticking with black, I love this cut out and long sleeves are perfect for an evening wedding.
Or this is a show stopper! 
More formal wedding? I love a good navy and a lace! Win win!

shoes and MORE shoes

Now I tend to lean more towards a thicker heel, like these, but if you can do the skinny heel, I am loving these. That detail, SO pretty! 

Dying over these! And they come in three different colors! Told ya I like a chunky heel if this mama is going to be on her feet all night! 

As for color, red all the way this time of year! And mother may I, these are gorgeous!

Let's not forget a good nude! I also found this little gem! 

Need to go flat? Winner right here for a dramatic shoe!
Too much flash? I'm loving these ruffles! Dressy, yet, not too much.
And these for a more casual look! 

And speaking of casual, I love a skinny jean with a cute bootie!

Just like the jumpsuit, also on my fashion bucket list is a pair of thigh high boots.
 I can't even with these! LOVE! Super sexy for that New Years Eve dinner with the boo!

May have gone a little shoe crazy, wait, what am I saying, NO such thing!


Can NOT forget your accessories!

Unfortunately, this style earring does not go with my jumpsuit for the wedding, but I love them with a plain sweater and jeans to dress it up! Totally a conversation starter too! 

If you are going for simple. Always classic. Forever timeless

I have been looking for a good statement necklace. I found this one on the more pricey side. But then came across this for a more inexpensive option and just as powerful!

I've been dying to try out this 90's choker look and this one may have won me over!

I'm a sucker for ANYTHING shiny! So when I found this clutch, I had to have it!
If you are going for black, or across the body, or pop of color!

Then if you want inexpensive, I found this cream fold over I'm in love with! I mean who doesn't love a good tassel!

Hostess Gift Ideas!

I hate showing up to someone's house empty handed! I feel like we are to that age where we really should bring something to a dinner party / get together!

Now I always think wine is a great option {and have you seen recent wine bags, SO cute} but if some hostess are not a fan {hey, I hear people like that exist} or you just want to go another way, I listed a few inexpensive BUT thoughtful goodies to help say thank you!



candle is always a go to for me! I am loving Bath and Body Works, it's a wonderful life 3-wick candle and right now they are on sale!

For that fashion friend, a beautiful scarf or a pair of slippers, I wear these every day around the house, but I also like these in the rose gold! SO cute! Def just put those on my wish list!

I love a good monogram item -- these drinking glasses would be a win for a couple host gift and only at $5/glass!  

Sticking for in the kitchen, I don't know about you but I'm obsessed with a cute kitchen towel hanging on my stove! Adds a little holiday touch and they come in handy {ha, get it??}.


Okay ladies thats all I got and whew am I exhausted! 
Shopping takes a lot out of you! 

Hope you found that perfect something for your holiday event! 
I know you are going to knock em' dead!
And don't forget ... 


xoxo
