Being sporty spice at the National Harbor for happy hour with my girls proved to be one of the highlights on my Christmas Break thus far. We exchanged Christmas gifts and enjoyed Mccormick and Schmitt’s Happy Hour specials, cosmopolitans anyone? I also payed $8 for a Ben and Jerry’s ice cream cone *side eye* but the experience was well worth it.

I kept it comfy casual with a basic white tee and my new favorite Spanx leggings that give me a little extra tuck for my holiday food generated bulges.

Let’s take a moment to bask in the beauty of these suede navy Adidas…….ok these shoes are everything. They are comforatble and super versatile. I was gifted these kicks in this navy color, burgundy as well as an olive green. I have not seen these shoes anywhere in mens or women’s sizes so I have no idea how they were purchased for me. Shoutout to my plug lol. Threw on an Adidas bomber to finish off the look. I wasn’t sure if my friends would be dressy so I brought along my velvet steve madden booties to up the amp just in case. Turned out needing the booties lol

Merry Christmas

Dress: JLUXLABLE| Shoes: Steve Madden

Merry Christmas!! So excited to be starting new traditions this holiday season with my family. One including an annual formal dinner on Christmas Eve. For our first annual Christmas Eve dinner we gathered at my grandparents suburban residence. On the menu: Root Vegetable Gratin, Maple Roasted Carrot Salad, Skillet-Roasted Lemon Chicken, and Apple Pie Bars 😋 The decor matched the food, simply fabulous. For the special occasion we were instructed to come dressed in formal attire so I sprung for this JLuxLable Dress that I found for $29 over the summer. JLuxLable is an Instagram boutique that typically has inexpensive party attire. Check them out here.

*Another freezing cold shoot 😩

Happy Holidays

Dress: JCrew| Shirt: Unknown similar here| Tights: Berkshire| Shoes: BP similar here|Bracelets: Alex and Ani| Watch: Michael Kors| Lips: MAC Ruby Woo| Bag: Kate Spade similar here|

Taking a serious risk and mixing stripes with leopard print and I love it! I had my eye on this JCrew dress since the summer and scored it on Black Friday on sale with an extra 40% off! Glad I waited…I can pair this dress with a shirt underneath for colder months and just wear it sleeveless in warmer weather. I’ve been loving Nars Cruella as my go to red lip but I came across my old faithful, Ruby Woo just in time for the holidays.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to blog in these colder months so bare with me! I froze my tootsies off for these optics 😉

I was so excited to go to the annual Nordstrom Holiday Party, it’s pretty much an exclusive event to those who are Nordstrom card holders where you are able to Christmas shop with the help of a stylist. Hors d’oeuvres, champagne, and coffee are provided as you browse through their holiday collections.  As a rewards member you earn 10 points for each dollar you spend. 2000 points=$20 of Nordstrom Cash. So basically, every $200 you spend you get $20 back and as we all know $200 in Nordstrom is easily spent. The beauty of the “Nordstrom Bank” is that you do not have to have a credit line to reap the rewards benefits. You can sign up for a Nordstrom debit card that is connected to your personal checking account. You still earn points per dollar you spend in store and online but it comes directly from your account! Yes to debt freedom! If you are interested in a Nordstrom debit card more info here…because they literally have EVERYTHING. Anyone who knows me knows that I am definitely a Nordy’s girl. Hands down favorite store and not just because they always have what I’m looking for but also because they have outstanding customer service. Can you STAN for a store? I definitely do.

So about the outfit…very simple staple black denim and white button down top. Jazzed up the look with this statement green jacket much like my statement suede jacket here. I’m really feeling the Chanel inspired footwear that added something extra to the look along with my YSL fringe bag that I’ve been carrying religiously. Voila!
