What I’m Wearing for Christmas Eve 2018
Oh the holiday season! Arguably one of my favorite times of the year! Why? Well, there is just something so magical in the air. Maybe it is the twinkling lights? Or the snow that sometimes covers the ground? Or maybe it is just because people seem to be a little more kind to one another this time of year? Whatever the reasoning is, one thing I do know for sure is that winter fashion has always been one of my favorites seasons to dress for! The addition of more layers makes the mixing and matching of closet staples with trendy accessories even more exciting than it normally is! I also…

Movie Monday: White Christmas (1954)
Arguably one of the greatest holiday films of all time, White Christmas is still enjoyed by audiences everywhere. You don’t have to celebrate Christmas in order to enjoy the talented actors/actresses who brought to life the characters in this film.

All of the actors in the starring positions were greatly benefitted from the success of this movie. Crosby and Kaye were ranked high on the…

The Steve Madden Puffer Jacket
As a college student (who is thankfully on winter break until the new year – woohoo!) who walks a lot on a large campus, it is so important to find a warm jacket. It was essential for me to also find one that has a hood on it in case it gets extra freezing outside. One of my favorite places to shop is Kohl’s, and that is where I found this pretty warm jacket! Steve Madden has scored again with this piece! It is not only a beautiful shade of purple, but it is also the warmest jacket I have ever owned. I love that fact that it has a…

The Electric Blue Cowl Neck Sweater
The winter season is creeping upon us as we all prepare for the holidays. Along with the changing season is much colder weather, but I am not afraid of being cold this year! This cowl neck sweater will be keeping me warm without having to wear a scarf. Normally I don’t love having tight or bulky things up around my neck, but with this cowl neck styled sweater I don’t have to worry about tying a tight scarf around my neck! At the same time, I also don’t have to worry about feeling constrained by the material. A cowl sweater is such a wintertime essential, in my opinion, and can…
