dress: Elizabeth & James Aneko dress // shoes: Stuart Weitzman Nudist heel
This dress is one of the most magical dresses I’ve ever worn. I’m in love with the delicate soft blush color, the tulle skirt and grosgrain ribbon waist – every aspect feels so magical. If only it came in white – It would be perfect for my rehearsal dinner! (Can you hear me Elizabeth & James?! – make it in white!) 🙂

i love how you can change the way these sequins lay for a different, more shiny look!
dress: line & dot sequin dress (similar here here & here) // shoes: stuart weitzman nudist sandal in ‘platinum’
sequins are 100% out of my comfort zone – but when i saw this dress it felt more ‘me’ because the sequins have the option of being matte or shiny. I obviously chose the matte option, but you can see in one of the images above that if you move your hand in the opposite direction, the sequins will change their shine! Pretty amazing. I love the low detailing of this dress too, it balances out the front being so covered up.
These shoes are my celebratory ‘go-tos’ – I absolutely love the color of them and that they can easily go with silver or gold. The sleek and simple design also makes them easy to pair with just about anything, and although I got the highest heel choice, they come in multiple other heel heights that are shorter!

dress: scuba midi bandeau dress (Under $55 & also in lilac!) // shoes: christian louboutin pigalle follies // earrings: H&M tassel earrings // purse: Chelsea 28 clutch // lipstick: Nars in ‘Bette‘ (the most perfect shade of cranberry!)
I’m such a sucker for ‘scuba’ dresses – dresses made out of that neoprene material made to make scuba suits. I love the stiffness of it, and the way it looks when its worn. However, the fabric on this dress is surprisingly soft and i love the little detailing of the folds at the top. I was so drawn to this gorgeous color (perfect for winter parties!) and couldn’t say no when I saw the incredible price – only $53!? It comes in a beautiful shade of lavender as well that I’m also very tempted by. I paired this dress with my brand new Christian Louboutins (a belated birthday present) and my new favorite lip color – ‘Bette’ from Nars. They go perfectly together.

jumpsuit: Cynthia Rowley draped bow top jumpsuit // shoes: old (almost exact here) // jacket: vintage (similar here)
Christmas Eve at my parent’s house is something I look forward too every year. We have around 50 family members over for a big, festive dinner where we all sit around a big long table and all catch up after too long apart. This year will be especially exciting and fun celebrating my recent engagement, and the fact that my brother and his wife + kids are in town for the first time in 4 years! We are so grateful they could be with us this year 🙂
When I saw this jumpsuit, I thought it would be the perfect thing to wear! Festive, yet comfortable and different. I’m not normally a bow person, but this one felt muted and sophisticated. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season with your loved ones!
