Every year for Christmas, my family and I travel to Michigan to visit our relatives! Like I have said in recent posts, our family is very tradition oriented! We arrived yesterday and so far it has been a very relaxing day! Tonight, the cousins are headed out for a night on the town followed by a Christmas movie marathon! For this fun night out, I chose to wear this Gap jean dress with gray tights, boots and a zara scarf! Let me just say, this scarf is fabulous! I have been living in it ever since I bought it in Chicago! It is not only big and comfy, but it also is houndstooth... which I LOVE!
Finals are FINALLY over and the Christmas festivities can now begin! (and when I say finally... I mean finals week was the worst week of the year so far!) I absolutely hate taking tests, let alone the fact that my only exam was the last day before break and it was an accumulative accounting final! UGH! But anyways... I don't know if I have mentioned this, but Christmas is definitely one of my favorite times of the year. It is a time when everyone can be together with their loved ones laughing, sharing memories and making new ones. Every year, to start off the Christmas season, some of our good family friends and us go out to dinner, and lets just say its a GREAT time! Putting four loud families in one small room... how could it not be fun? Here are some photos of the fun night! I can't wait to share more of my holiday extravaganzas! Outfit: ~ Sweater: Polo Ralph Lauren ~ Skirt: Jcrew Factory ~ Heels: Mia Adorable Christmas gift idea for anyone on your list!
Today for class, I decided to wear this JCP polka dot turtleneck. First of all, can I please just say how much I love JC Penney now? They recently have remodeled their store and I am in love. I can not stop shopping there... which is good and bad at the same time! Anyways, I paired this turtleneck with this sparkly dot sweater from Old Navy and boyfriend jeans from Gap.
For the ladies...For the men...For the girls...For the boys...Yesterday, I went home for a winter tradition. If you haven't been able to tell, my family is really into traditions! But anyways... this tradition is about to end and I am more than sad about it :( After 10 years, the Holidazzle parade is shutting down. It is the most magical parade I have ever seen. It is filled with floats decorated full out in lights. After being out in the freezing cold for about an hour, we go to the best restaurant... The Melting Pot. If you have never heard of the Melting Pot it is a fondue restaurant, and it is more than delicious! To work off all of those yummy calories, my mom and I took a stroll through the neighborhood to look at all the fun Christmas decorations~
Outfit: For my walk through the neighborhood, I wore this super casual outfit. This JCrew flannel shirt is PERFECT for layering, along with almost all of JCrews button-ups :) I paired this shirt with a polka dot vest from Gap. And as the boots go, I actually found these in my moms closet! She has had them for MANY years now, but has never decided to wear them... her loss, my gain! :) Today was one of the best days! It finally snowed!! I love winter so much because whenever it snows, everything looks so much prettier!! Walking around campus today was so fun, just because you could tell all the students were excited for the first snow. And what makes snowy days even better?? When class is canceled! For my study day in the library :( I wore this super comfy outfit, which put me in the holiday spirit!
Outfit Details: For my outfit today, I wore this oversized, gray and white, patterned Gap sweater and paired it with my new favorite layering shirt. This flannel-like shirt is from Banana Republic! I got it on sale during all the Thanksgiving sales and absolutely LOVE it! And as the leggings go.... these are my all time favorite leggings! I probably have 5 pairs of them. They are so comfy and the best part about them is that they are thick. So, if you are looking for a high-quality yet comfy legging, I recommend the ones from Loft.
