Home for the Holidays

Whether you’re buying gifts for friends and family, attending Holiday parties, or finalizing your travel plans – the Holidays can be exciting but also a little hectic (and for some reason, this time of year seems to fly by).
If you’re planning on traveling this Holiday season, why not get a bit of head start on your packing (well, at least start brainstorming some wardrobe ideas).
Here are some items that will definitely be making it into my suitcase!
When traveling I like to create outfits ahead of time and be sure that the items I pack in my suitcase can be mixed and matched – that way I know I have multiple outfits and can dress accordingly.
Must haves:
Skinny denim – can be dressed up by pairing with ankle boots and a silk blouse. Or you can go casual with flats and a basic sweater.
Printed skirt – paired with tights, ankle boots and an embellished sweater, this makes a perfect outfit for evening festivities.
Chambray button down – looks great paired with cropped colored trousers and ankle boots. Creates a casual, yet on trend look.
Pointed toe flats – they can be dressed up or dressed down and look great with anything from skinny denim to dresses.
Large sturdy tote – great for carrying all of that extra stuff we tend to lug around with us while traveling!
Travel size perfume – wearing your favorite perfume makes you feel at home and it sure beats wearing the same scent as your mom!
Holiday 2012: The wish list
12 years ago
With the Holiday’s just around the corner, I figured that I should get a head start on my Holiday shopping. While trying to decide what to get my family and friends this year, I got a little side-tracked and created a wish list of my own.
I make several wish lists throughout the year, I use my lists as a reference for when I’m out shopping – that way I have a clear idea of what I need/want.
This Holiday season my list includes: an affordable H&M sweater, a sturdy backpack, custom made scents, a KitchenAid mixer, cozy footwear for those chilly evenings, and dainty jewelry.
With a lot of Holiday shopping to do, you can bet that I’ll visit some of my favorite online stores (for one-stop shopping), like; Amazon, Sephora and Etsy to find a little something for everyone.
What’s on your Holiday wish list this season?
