It’s been awhile since I did a true outfit inspiration post with all the gift guides, so I wanted to share this New Year’s Eve outfit idea with you today! New Year’s Eve is the perfect excuse to wear sequins and sparkly accessories. How gorgeous are these statement earrings?! Can you believe they are only $16?? These are definitely on my wish list. And although the lace detailing on this jumpsuit is the perfect detail, if it is a bit chilly, this sequin jacket would be so fabulous over your shoulders! Lastly, I have mentioned this nail polish before, but it is my absolute favorite! I’ve been wearing this every week since Thanksgiving and I have yet to get sick of it! It’s the perfect Christmas red, stays on about a week and dries within 10 minutes! I can’t get enough of it! And it comes in other fabulous colors too! It’s definitely something to check out 馃檪
I will be sharing one last post for the week tomorrow and then I’ll be back on Saturday for some post-Christmas sales. See you tomorrow and have a wonderful Tuesday!
Happy Monday! With Christmas only a few days away, it’s time to perfect your holiday look. Whether it is adding a little sparkle to your wardrobe, accessorizing with festive holiday pieces or adding red lipstick to complete your look, the holidays are the ideal opportunity to amp up your look!
There is no doubt I love wearing red lipstick and if you haven’t taken the red lip plunge yet, this is the perfect time of year to give it a try! To achieve this holiday look, I started with Lanc么me’s Color Design Matte Lip Crayon in Partner in Crime {#320}. I also added the L’Absolu Rouge Definition in Le Carmin {#195} for a deeper red color. I normally like more pinky/red shades, but I have to say that I love this darker red because it compliments any holiday party look.
Speaking of holiday parties, we just had our Christmas party on Saturday evening. The day before the party, I ran out of my all-time favorite perfume. With all the party preparations that needed to happen Saturday morning and afternoon, there was no time to run to the store to buy more perfume! I was so happy to have Lanc么me’s La Vie Est Belle Eau de Parfum on hand and thought I would give it a try for the evening. And I absolutely love it! With notes of blossoms a little bit of spice, not only is it a scent for the colder months, but it’s truly a scent of the season!
How do you create the perfect holiday look? Hope you all have a wonderful short week!
Happy Thursday, friends! And happy one week until Christmas Eve! How is that even possible?! Today, I am getting in the Christmas spirit with this festive tweed jacket from Shein. I love tweed, no matter what time of the year, but this jacket, with it’s sparkling gold and silver tones, makes for the perfect jacket for Christmastime! I love adding a little sparkle to my wardrobe this time of the year, and this jacket allows for just the right amount!
For those of you who have been following along for awhile now, you know that I have worn Shein pieces before {last seen here}. In my experience, I find that the items have been running small, so I always suggest sizing up. But with this jacket, I would definitely say it’s more true to size. I ended up ordering a size up and I could have probably worn my regular size. But, at least with the larger size, I can easily wear a thicker sweater underneath to keep warm with the colder temperatures rolling in 馃檪
There is no doubt I have a serious obsession with sunglasses — and I seem to always have new pairs on my wish list! When putting an outfit together, I love to match the sunglasses with my look, it’s one of my favorite ways to accessorize! But having multiple pairs of sunglasses can be costly, especially if they happen to be designer frames! Enter DITTO Endless Eyewear. For $24 a month, you will receive an endless rotation of your favorite designer sunglasses! The process is super easy: just pick out the sunglasses and DITTO will send them to you {shipping was pretty quick too!} Keep them for an unlimited amount of time, and when you are ready for your next pair, send DITTO back the last pair when you receive the new! You can use the code ABLONDESMOMENT for your first month free! This is the perfect way to test out frames that you’ve seen online and just don’t know how they will look on you! I’m looking forward to the arrival of my next pair — I am especially loving these Miu Miu and these Karen Walker frames {you know how much I love my Karen Walker sunglasses!}
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! If you haven’t already, be sure to subscribe to my mailing list for exclusive content. A new holiday newsletter will be coming out tomorrow and you don’t want to miss it! Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
Since we are just about a week out from Christmas, I wanted to share with you some last minute gift ideas that are currently on sale along with some shipping deadlines. It’s hard to believe we are at the cut off point for shipping, but after hearing about all the backups companies are facing on the news yesterday, it’s probably a good idea to pick up those last minute gifts now!
While browsing the endless gift guides every store seems to have this year, I came across these pointy toe booties and was absolutely obsessed! Not only do I love the chain details on the back, but how amazing is that heel?! I know, it’s not something that totally fits me, but I’m all for incorporating some funky pieces into your look every now and then 馃檪 Also, can you believe the Clarisonic cleansing system is on sale?! When I was searching for it last year for myself, I could never find it on sale! So if it’s on someone’s wish list or even your own, you should definitely think about taking advantage of this sale!
I also found some amazing pieces that are currently on sale at Tory Burch! Not only do I love these boots but doesn’t this chunky turtleneck sweater look so cozy?! Tory Burch is also offering free shipping and returns on all orders until 12/20!

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Can you believe we have only one more weekend until Christmas?! Crazy how quickly this month {and this year} is flying!
There is no doubt I am a sucker for a good sweater. Typically, J.Crew is my go-to when I’m searching for sweaters — no matter what the occasion. I would definitely file this pink number in the cozy category, which was exactly what I was looking for! Although I love all seven colors that this sweater is available in, I of course had to go with the pink 馃檪
Not only do I love this sweater with black for a slightly more dressed up look, this versatile sweater could also be paired with a puffer vest and UGG boots! You know how I love my versatile pieces 馃槈 As for sizing, I went with my regular size, but if you are looking for a looser look, I would definitely size up. I might order this sweater in a different color {especially since it’s now on sale!} and I will probably go with the larger size.
Hope you all have a great start to the week and see you tomorrow for a yummy Christmas post!
Happy Thursday, friends! Wow, I cannot believe this week is almost over and we are just two weeks away from Christmas! Speaking of Christmas, I am so excited to be sharing a special post and giveaway with you today, just in time for the holidays.
There is no denying my obsession with phone cases. I am of the mindset that you change phone cases when you change seasons…does anyone else follow this logic?! Although I love my leopard case from J.Crew, when Caseapp reached out to me to share their custom iPhone cases and laptop skins with you, I was thrilled to create my own, personalized case. With all the phone cases I have collected over the years, I don’t have one that has been personalized! Hard to believe! For the past few years, I have been making custom phone cases for my parents with cute pictures of Ella, but I never made one for myself! That all changed thanks to Caseapp. Now, I can see Ella’s cute face all day while I am at work! I think I will finally give up my seasonal phone case buying now that I have this cutie to look at 馃檪
Caseapp’s website is super user-friendly and directs you step by step through the designing process. Start by choosing what type of case or skin you would like to design: iPhone, iPad, Macbook or Samsung.
You can either create your own design or browse through Caseapp’s creations, it’s up to you! If you have decided to create your own design, you will be taken to this page to begin your masterpiece!
Start with a blank slate! On the left toolbar you can see all the options available for creating your design: upload pictures, make collages, add text and background colors and even insert clipart. The possibilities are truly endless!
I added the cute heart clipart to Ella’s picture, but you could also choose to add quotes, handwritten words or even seasonal graphics! I wanted to keep things simple so Ella was the center of attention 馃槈
And that’s it! Head to the checkout and wait for your custom case or skin to arrive. Considering the personalization, my case came quickly in packaging to ensure the case would not crack. I love the idea of giving personalized cases as gifts, it’s something that most people could use and it truly comes from the heart, no matter what occasion! Although, I could definitely see this as a great gift idea for a stocking stuffer or even for the person on your list that has everything, we all have at least one of those!
And it gets better! Caseapp is also giving away a $40 credit for one lucky winner to design their very own case or skin! See entry details below and good luck!
Happy Wednesday! I’m taking a break from the gift guides today to talk about some of my favorite festive pieces for the month of December. As soon as Thanksgiving is over, I find myself incorporating more red, plaid, sparkle and festive holiday accents into my wardrobe. Does anyone else do that?! Exhibit A: rarely do I wear red nail polish, but for the last three weeks, I’ve been rocking the red nails!
{P.S. For those of you that are looking for a fabulous red for the holidays, I have been using the CND weekly polish in “wildfire” and I absolutely love it! Not only does it dry in less than 10 minutes without the LED or UV lights, but mine has been lasting just about a week! I have it in a few other colors as well and highly recommend it!}
There is no doubt I love faux fur on pretty much anything, but how gorgeous is this wool and faux fur blend coat?! I especially love the mix of the navy wool and the black faux fur. And this clutch! It’s quite the steal. And since December is the perfect month to break out the plaid — how cute would these slippers be on Christmas morning?! Last but not least, a red dress is an essential piece to have in your closet for this time of the year and I love the texture of this v-neck dress!
What are some of the ways you incorporate holiday cheer into your wardrobe leading up to Christmas? Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful Wednesday!
Happy Monday! Last year at Christmas, I was searching for a red midi skirt. After what seemed like an endless amount time searching for a skirt, I found this Chicwish midi and was so thrilled with it! Over the past year, I have found so many ways to wear this skirt, from Christmas to Valentine’s Day — it’s the perfect red! Chicwish has the most beautiful skirts — I especially love this Christmas floral number! Be sure to check out their website if you haven’t yet, you will not be disappointed!
There is no question this midi skirt has “party” written all over it, so it’s most definitely a skirt that is ideal for your holiday party! Below, I’ve included some of my favorite pieces that will have you ready for all your holiday parties in no time!
Thanks for dropping by and have a great start to the week!
This week’s Wednesday Wishes is all about the beauty queen on your gift list. It seems like there are always so many choices when it comes to beauty products, it can almost be overwhelming! But today, I’ve compiled a list of a few items that are perfect for even the pickiest of beauty queens!
I have been searching for a curling wand that actually holds the curl in my hair for awhile now, and this may just be it! With three interchangeable barrels and the ability to self-regulate the temperature to prevent over or under-heating, this wand truly seems amazing! Have you ever tried any of the T3 curling wands? I would love to know about your experience!
Another item that is on my wish list for Christmas is this makeup brush set. I have needed new brushes for awhile now {I seem to have a hodgepodge of brushes currently!} and I love that this set includes each and every brush you could possibly need! The pretty gold accents are just a bonus 馃檪
Do you have any beauty queens on your holiday gift list? I would love to hear if you have any ideas for them in the comments section below!
