Get Your Holiday On

Nordstrom may be combating the "christmas creep", but that doesn't mean we can't start to get a little excited for the holidays! (BTdubs, Nordstrom gets major props for taking this stand!)

I won't be sending out holiday cards this year, but these are just too fun not to share. The holidays are quickly approaching, which means it's time to start thinking about what to send! 

I particularly love these cards from Wild Ink Press because they stay true to what Christmas is about - faith, joy, and above all - God. The classic gold + silver color scheme doesn't hurt either. 

The Smock cards have a slight vintagey vibe to them, which is great. I love love love all of their products, and actually used some of their cards as my graduation thank-you's. And as if the cards weren't great by themselves, they come with the cutest coordinating envelopes. Seriously, check them out.



And, of course, the always fabulous Inslee has some of the chicest cards EVER! Perfect for the glamourista that we know we all are.

Are you sending out holiday cards? I want to hear about them!

Take Me to Paris

Every now and then, I start to get the itch... not that kind, but the kind where I'm dying to return to France.

The entire country, and Paris especially, is truly magical - the kind of life-changing experience you can only experience through travel.

A Sad Day for Bridal

I shed a tear today as I learned that Priscilla of Boston is closing their doors. I'm not engaged, or even close to being engaged, but every time I've ever been bored and browsed wedding dresses online with my roommates, it was always always always the Priscilla of Boston dresses that caught my attention.

Le sigh. Goodbye, dream dresses. 

Bright Lights, Big City

The neon/bright colors are everywhere. They're on the runways, on the streets, in the stores, and... not in my closet.

I have a few items that I like to wear every now and then as "pop of color", but as a whole my wardrobe is pretty neutral. Not bland, just neutral. Classic. I am drawn to the chic-ness (not a word, I know) of creams, whites, browns, and blacks. Imagine the colors in a Burberry plaid - that's my closet. 

These images have been really catching my eye lately.. How could you not love the color in these outfits?? So fun. 

And I'll leave you with some Man Repeller.. because she's awesome and she makes me giggle.

Particularly Plaid

It's a Monday. One of those Mondays. It's cold and rainy outside, and I'd really like to be at home asleep. Ugh.

Plaid is such a comforting pattern in the autumn and winter months.

I'm particularly obsessed with this new button-down I bought from J.Crew a few weeks ago. It is SO SOFT and I've been wearing it with everything. My favorite go-to look is wearing this top with black leggings and brown boots (I know.. leggings aren't pants. Whatevs). Plans are in the works to buy this top in every color offered. I love it that much.

My newest J.Crew obsession

Neutral colors with a touch of pattern

Bright at funky. J.Crew. Just what I like.

A hint of plaid through a scarf 

Country shabby - if that's your style

I'd like to be tangled up in one of these now, plzkthx

The pillows

And, of course, the most iconic plaid of all...
