First, a thank you for all the support on the LLL Holiday Giveaway. Most of you know that I don’t really do giveaways, so when I got an itch to do a special one for the holidays I knew it needed to be really amazing. Your response has been even better than I hoped for, so thank you! We have until Friday at noon for all entries to be submitted (and by submitted I mean you just leave a comment, couldn’t be simpler) so keep them coming!

 

And today is no shortage of pretty either. It’s such a great time of year for new arrivals popping up and I’m especially feeling all the holiday party dresses :)

denim dress, stripe dress, flamingo earrings, tulle dress, slippers, ruffle top,

black top, taffeta bow dress, gold earrings, boy shorts set, sandals,

red dress, tote, black lace dress, metallic flats, white blouse, black pumps

 

Much to say…. so that black bell sleeve dress – the lace is tonal so it’s not see through like it appears. And the red lace dress is about as holiday as it gets, with the blue taffeta dress and the black tulle dress close behind. And speaking of the black tulle dress, can you see that gift box clutch she’s carrying? So cute! That flared sleeve white blouse is my type of top, and that whole outfit is exactly how I’d wear it. Aren’t those black pumps extraordinarily beautiful?

 

By the way those Hanky Pankys are not the thongs, those are their boy shorts! Great holiday idea.

Gift guide for the guys today! Happy Friday!

gingham shirts, smartphone projector kit,

yeti cooler bag, pocket square, nylon coat,

southerner’s cookbook, patch sweater, grey sweater,

bluetooth speaker, knitted hat, yeti cooler, wine opener

 

Those non-iron gingham shirts are only $49 and come in many colors – load up! And that grey mock sweater is the perfect thing to throw over them this winter. Yeti coolers are pretty much on every guy I knows’ wishlist this year so it’s a safe bet! Any size. We have Garden & Gun’s Southerner’s cookbook and about a third of the recipes (I’m guessing) begin with bacon grease so it, too, is a good bet :) And for the guys who love sharing funny clips and streaming games – the smartphone projector kit would be awesome to have!

 

And by the way, that Coravin wine opener is not your average wine opener. Maybe you’ve noticed it at your favorite wine bar – it actually allows you to pour from your wine bottle without ever pulling the cork! This keeps your wine good for close to a year!! Great for those nicer wines you never want to open because you only want a glass :) Check it out!

All everyday favorites for me! PS, I’m wearing this Spanx bra to smash down my boobs. Feels like too much info, but a girlfriend of mine recently told me how glad she was that I told her about some of the bras I wear for this. If you’re looking to appear smaller, give it a try. I also regularly wear and love these!

 

Wearing:

free people swing sweater, madewell skinny jeans,

j.crew blue suede pumps, j. mclaughlin nylon tote

 

Beauty:

bareMinerals mineral veil

bareMinerals lip color (candy pop)

That blue one actually lends itself to an ethnic coastal look which I’m kinda into. And I’d love to put this one in Lilly’s room (or any room for that matter).
