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.

Happy Holidays

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 😉
