Sew Cute

For my outfit I kept things pretty simple. I was not having a great hair day, so I threw it up in a cute little low bun. I use this little foldable bun maker I picked up at Target and it is great for pulling back your hair. Whenever my hair is a little eh I through it into a bun. It's just an easy way to fix your hair and it creates a super polished look. 

My outfit consists of a simple black velvet skirt from J. Crew Factory and a fun ruffled turtle neck. I used to hate turtle necks as a kid and now I'm obsessed. This one from J. Crew was only $35 + 40% off! J. Crew has been a hit or miss for me since their new designer has taken over, but I will say I can't complain about some lower prices. I'm always down for a good bargin, well who isn't? For a fun pop of holiday color I wore these Aerie tights. I had an old pair of red tights that I sadly had to throw away a year or so back. So when I found this pair at Aerie I knew I had to snag them! Red is such a fun accent color to use during the holidays. 

For accessories I wore some fun bow stud earrings from Kate Spade, a little inspo from some presents under the Christmas tree! Then of course my trusty Tory Burch black ballet flats, they seriously go with everything. I also wore my Hermes bangle which was for sure my favorite Christmas gift of the year. Then I added two Pandora bracelets, with some new charms that were Christmas gifts!

Who doesn't love pajamas? No one, exactly. So, for today's post I'm sharing my favorite Christmas pajama combo of the season. When I get home from work I almost instantly change into my pjs to get comfy (no shame). This has been my favorite comfy pajama outfit to change into because it is sooooo comfy! 

First off, are these sleep leggings from Aerie. I talked about a similar pair in my cozy outfit look post, but guys these pajama pants are AMAZING! Literally the comfiest thing I have ever worn. They are so soft, warm, and everything you could want from a sleep legging (who knew those existed). I cannot say enough good things about these pants! I have two pairs of old Aerie sweatpants that used to be my go-to sweats. Now I think these are! If you don't like super tight things I would size up in these. I'm wearing an extra small for sizing! 

As for my t-shirt, it was a free gift with purchase from Jadelynn Brooke! Jadelynn Brooke is one of my favorite places to get t-shirts. They have so many adorable designs. This one is perfect for Christmas, obviously. But, they have a ton of different adorable designs no matter what you like! 

Then this beanie..... is so dang cute. I actually wont this in a giveaway! S/O to Pink Pineapple Shop and Belle of the Ball for my giveaway prize! This beanie so super warm and has an adorable pom pom on it. 

My favorite Christmas tradition is changing into our pajamas and opening presents on Christmas Eve. This year we only opened a few so we could open most of them Christmas morning. But, I'm super impatient, so opening a few on Christmas Eve is always fun! I love how everyone does it different, it makes Christmas personalized to your own family traditions. 

We also always watch Christmas Vacation on Christmas Eve. We've been doing it for so long that we have to do it each year! Plus it is our family's all-time favorite Christmas movie. There are way to many great one-liners in that movie for it not to be a favorite!

Pajama pants: Aerie

As for my outfit, I kept things pretty simple. Since we were walking around outside most of the day my Barbour Beadnell Polarquilt was the main attraction. To complete the look I paired it with a matching tartan scarf. Shameless plug: Barbour makes matching scarves to go with your tartan jacket cuff. I love the look it creates!

Underneath my jacket I just wore a simple creme sweater and my go-to pair of Paige denim jeans. Nothing crazy over here, but this is what I wear on a day-to-day basis! Seeing fun blogger outfits is great and all, but sometimes it's unrealistic to be all dolled up all of the time. My normal style is pretty casual now and days! This outfit is a perfect example of my go-to look during the winter.

As for accessories I'm sporting the usual: Alex and Ani bangles, Michele watch, and pearl studs. Something new to the mix is a little Christmas gift from the boyfriend is a Hermes click bracelet. I've been crushing on this bracelet for quite some time, so I was so excited to unwrap a little orange box for Christmas!

Merry Christmas! It's the most wonderful day of the year and I feel so blessed to have spent yesterday and today with family. I hope you had a magical Christmas morning with your loved ones. Hopefully Santa brought you some goodies as well!

Today, in honor of Christmas, I'm sharing my Christmas Eve outfit of the night for our Christmas Eve celebration. This year we mixed things up and dinner at home. Usually we go to a Brazilian Steakhouse, but we changed it up and made my favorite dinner for Christmas Eve. AKA a roast beef, twice baked potatoes, and Yorkshire pudding. 

As for my outfit, I knew I wanted to wear this adorable Lauren James plaid skirt for Christmas Eve or Day. It is the perfect festive plaid with hints of green and red. Plus this adorable wrap design features the cutest bow on the side! Just like a perfectly wrapped present, it really doesn't get much better then that. I paired a simple black turtle neck to complete the look. This turtle neck is actually from Target! If you go towards the end of the season you can get Target clothes for super cheap. This turtle neck was under $10 when I got it last year. 

For accessories, I paired the look with my uber-festive KJP velvet bow bracelet. I love this bracelet for the holidays! It compliments any Christmas look perfectly. Then I also wore my shiny new gift from my boyfriend, a white Hermes click bracelet. I've been eyeing this bracelet for a while so I was so excited he gifted it to me this year. I also can't forget my trusty Alex and Ani bangles. This year I snagged a few new ones that I am very excited about. 

Where it's from: 

Shirt: Target 

Skirt: Lauren James 

Shoes: Tory Burch 

Bracelets: KJP, Alex and Ani, Hermes

On my Instagram stories I asked if you wanted to see some of my favorite Disney ornaments! I got a really great response so here they are! Most of these ornaments are from the Disney Parks from a span of many years. Our family is super into ornaments. I have bins and bins of ornaments I have been gifted over the past 22 years. Every year we pick out ornaments and exchange them, so they all have added up over the years! I love looking back at all of my ornaments and remember who gave them to me or what trip we picked them up on. 

In today's post, I'm going over my favorite Disney ornaments. This year we decided to create a whole Disney tree as a family. As of right now the tree is basically completely filled with just my mom and I's Disney ornaments! I know we are crazy, but we just love Christmas and ornaments, and of course Disney. 

First up, are some of my favorite Beauty & the Beast ornaments. Belle is one of my favorite Princesses and I loveeeee the movie Beauty and the Beast. So I have quite the little collection of Belle and BATB ornaments. I love this little Belle in her yellow dress and this enchanted rose. The enchanted rose is a Lennox ornament, which is also a huge tradition for my family. My mom loves Lennox so every year we almost always get a Lennox ornament to add to the collection. They always have the best Disney ornaments as well! 

Here are some of my favorite Lennox ornaments you can shop now! Most of them are on sale too.....

I love this collection of hat ornaments from the Disney Parks. I have a few different characters but I love this Belle one! The best part of these little collections Disney has is that you can get all of your favorite characters, but in a cool different way!

Here are some other super cute hat ornaments..... 

Snow White | Steam Boat Willie | Jasmine

Then there is the shoe collection..... aka the best collection EVER! I love these ornaments! I also have to pick up new one when I go to the parks. These three are my favorite. I love the three good fairies from Sleeping Beauty so this one was a must. Then of course I have Belle and Elsa. 

Here are some other cute shoe ornaments.... 

Anna | Tinkerbell | Mary Poppins | Jack Skellington 

I danced my whole life so I love anything ballerina related! I have a few Minnie Mouse ballerina ornaments, but this one is my favorite. The best part of picking our ornaments at Disney World is that some of them can be customized. This ornament is customized with my name and the date of our trip! 

Tinkerbell plays a pretty big role in my collection as well. This one on the right is from 1999! The greatest thing about collecting all of these ornaments is that I can look back on all of our trips and memories. The Cath Kidston ornament on the left is a new addition from their recent Peter Pan collection. 

Dopey is also one of my favorite characters! I have a few Dopey ornaments, but this one is for sure the cutest! Then of course there is my Monsters Inc. Mike & Sulley ornament. Monsters Inc. is my favorite Pixar movie, and also one of my all time favorites. I think this one is just too adorable!

Belle: Disney Parks 

Enchanted Rose: Lennox
