Happy Monday, friends! It was a chilly and snowy weekend here in Northern Virginia. It’s been a few years since snow has come in December — I am afraid for the rest of winter! I had actually planned to wear this gorgeous navy velvet jacket to a Christmas party on Saturday evening, but I didn’t want the falling snow to ruin the velvet! Regardless, I couldn’t wait to share this perfect winter jacket with you.

What to Wear to a Holiday Party
Happy Friday Eve, friends! I’m back today with another holiday dress. Last week, I shared this velvet bell sleeve dress (you can see the post here). But this week’s holiday party dress is a little different. I spotted this dress a few months ago and knew it would be perfect for the holiday season and even for New Year’s Eve!

Happy Wednesday, friends! How is your holiday shopping going? I say this every year, but my dad and husband are always the hardest for me to buy for. Maybe it’s because they never ask for ANYTHING! This year, I am thankfully finished with my shopping (including the two hardest on my list!) but I wanted to share a gift guide for the guys for this week’s gift guide. Although men are typically difficult to buy for (at least in my experience) it seems like each year I find more and more gift possibilities. I think retailers have upped their game because they know how much women suffer when it comes to finding the perfect gift for all the men in their lives! Anyways, here are this year’s picks for the guys.
The Ultimate Gingerbread Cookies
As I hinted at in last week’s recap of the Best Christmas recipes, I have a serious love for gingerbread. Last year, I made this Gingerbread Cake with Sugared Cranberries. It was so delicious and a fun spin on the traditional cookie. This year, I wanted to go back to the classic and share gingerbread cookies on a new level with the cutest set. They truly are the ultimate gingerbread cookies!
Holiday Outfit | Black Velvet Dress
Since the beginning of fall, I have had it in my head that I needed a velvet dress for the holidays. I have always been a fan of velvet and was so excited to see that it was going to be trendy for fall and winter. There is something about a black velvet dress and the holiday season that I can’t get enough of.

Wednesday Wishes Gift Guide edition is here featuring holiday gifts under $100! Since I typically only share women’s clothing and accessories in Wednesday Wishes, I decided to skip the Gifts for Her this year and focus on a gift guide that is more cost friendly. Although, this particular gift guide could actually be gifts for her under $100! With Black Friday and Cyber Monday, I feel like all I have been doing lately is making collages! As much as I love finding the products and putting these posts together, I am ready for a break…and for stores to re-stock! Without further ado, here is this year’s holiday gifts under $100!
The Best Recipes of Christmas
After a weekend full of holiday cooking, I have a few holiday recipes to share with you in the coming weeks. Tis the season, right?! But before we jump into those, I wanted to recap a few of my favorite recipes of Christmas past. From the most delicious gingerbread cake and classic sugar cookies to a fun holiday cranberry cocktail and yummy hot cocoa cookies, these are just a few of the best recipes of Christmas.
It’s Cyber Monday!
Happy Cyber Monday, friends! Have you started your holiday shopping yet? I am happy to say that I have just one more thing to buy and it’s not even December yet. That’s definitely a new record for me! I took advantage of a lot of the Black Friday and Small Business Saturday sales, but there is still one day of sales left: Cyber Monday!
