Merry & Bright

With less than a week to go before Christmas, every radio station is playing Christmas music, the kitchens are all stocked with Christmas cookies, and the trees are covered in ornaments and ribbon. It's a time to reconnect with family, and friends you haven't seen all semester. A time to read that book you've been wanting to read in front of a blazing fire while drinking a mug of hot cocoa. Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, you can't escape the feeling. It's infectious. 

 

To celebrate the season, I decided to make a wallpaper inspired by Bing Crosby's White Christmas. One of my all time favorite Christmas songs. Check out my Pinterest for some holiday inspiration!

 

May your days be merry and bright...

{Holiday} Looks for Less

I'm back! I'm finally finished with finals and the semester is officially over. Cue deep sigh of relief. Now that I'm not busy with school work, I have more time to devote to this blog (which I am super excited about!). I've decided that I am going to post three times a week: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. This way the posts will be more scheduled, I won't be stressed tying to get a post up each day, and you (my readers) can know when to expect a new post. As usual, Wednesdays will be devoted to my Looks for Less series.

With the holidays upon us, I thought it would be appropriate to do a {Holiday} Looks for Less inspired by J. Crew! I took the cute cream sweater, A-line skirt, and metallic heals and added two of my favorite things: polka dots & gold. Plus, it's about a quarter of the price of the J. crew alternative. This outfit is perfect for any semi-formal holiday party. See below the picture for links to the outfit pieces.
