Christmas TAG!
I saw this little Christmas questionnaire/TAG on my friend Shannon's blog (The Creation of Beauty is Art) and thought I'd join in the fun. She and I share a great love for Christmas and the holiday season. I wish the feeling I get the month of December could stay with me all year round. I need to work on that. There is just something about the "magic" of this time of year.
1) What is your favorite winter/Christmas scent?
I would have to say any scent of holiday candle sold at Bath & Body Works. I'm obsessed! I do especially love the 'Tis The Season candle which is a mix of apples, cinnamon, cloves and deep green pine. Oh and I also love Marshmallow Fireside which is toasted marshmallows, vanilla cream and rich smoldering woods.
2) What is your favorite winter drink?
This is where I admit that I'm a huge weirdo and I don't drink hot drinks. No hot tea, coffee blends from Starbucks and no hot chocolate. Total weirdo!! Most of you know that I love the bubbly but there's something about it this time of year that makes be crave it even more (in moderation of course!). But I love to have a glass and add either raspberries or pomegranate seeds. It makes it so much more festive!
3) What is your favorite item of clothing to wear in the winter/near Christmas?
Anything cozy! Slippers, jammies, soft sweaters, faux fur, plaid, stocking hats, UGGS, scarves...OK pretty much anything that keeps me warm! And I have a few sweaters that are holiday themed that I do love. I just love fall/winter clothing so much more than spring/summer clothing.
4) Favorite Christmas song?
Well I just love "O Holy Night". If done right, I'll cry. And I love "All I Want For Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey and "This Christmas" by Donny Hathaway.
5) Favorite Christmas movie?
This should be its own post! Confession time...I need a 12-step program when it comes to Christmas movies. I am ridiculous and I just love it! National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is a classic and a must every year! Elf, The Holiday, A Christmas Story, Four Christmas's, Love Actually and so many more! And don't get me started on The Hallmark Channel, Lifetime and ABC Family. I love all of their original movies that are light hearted and fun (not the sad ones!). And yes they can be cheesy but isn't that the point? I like to watch movies that leave a silly grin on my face.
6) Are you on the naughty or nice list this year?
I'd say nice all the way however my husband, Wes, might disagree! HAHA!
7) Where do you usually spend Christmas?
My family always gets together on Christmas Eve. There can be up to 20 of us and it's loud and crazy and totally normal. :-) My mom always hosts and there is never lack of food. She goes all out! And then on Christmas we go to see Wes's family at lunch for a couple of hours. The best part is that we get to be together for most of Christmas day. Just us and our fur babies (Barkley & Jade - my heart!)
8) Where do you wish you could spend Christmas?
I have always thought it would be so cool to spend Christmas someplace where you are guaranteed snow. Or I go in the opposite direction and say a tropical destination. But really I probably couldn't leave my mom. Of course I could get my parents to come with us. :-)
9) What is your favorite part of a Christmas dinner?
Well this year it's going to be Thanksgiving dinner for Christmas. That's my favorite meal and this year my mom had pneumonia so Thanksgiving was postponed. Now I get my mom's turkey dinner at Christmas...doesn't get much better than that!
10) What is your favorite thing about Christmas?
The feeling I get inside...I can't really describe it. Life just seems better, happier, lighter and for one month I try and forget some of life's heavier situations that may be going on. And the lights...the twinkle lights, the holiday music, movies, shopping, getting together with friends. I just love everything there is to do with Christmas!
This was so much fun! If you haven't done this yet on your blog, then I invite you too and please let me know as I'd love to pop over and read yours. And if you don't have a blog, please leave some of your answers in the comments. I'd love to know some about some of your traditions!

Black Friday Shopping: What To Wear
Thanksgiving is almost upon us so you know what that means...BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING! This year so many stores are open on Thanksgiving but we can't even with that. We'll stick to just Black Friday. With the chaos that comes with shopping the day after Thanksgiving, you need to make sure that you dress appropriately. Stores and malls are crowded and parking can be straight up nuts. You need patience and you need to be comfortable.
Zella Live-In Leggings ($58) - We both have these and they are so comfortable. They are more of an athletic legging so they hold you in place. Perfect for a day of all day shopping when you don't want to worry with a button, zipper or belt.
J Crew Popover Plaid Shirt ($90) - Plaid, plaid and more plaid. Just can't get enough. We chose this one not only because it's super cute but because it's a popover style. It's all about ease and if you plan to try on clothes, you can just pull this over your head. No worries about having to unbutton and re-button your shirt. A time saver!
American Eagle Cable Knit Cardigan ($70) - Layering is key! When shopping we say ditch your coat. It's so cumbersome to lug your coat around with you all day. That being said you still might need more that just a long-sleeve shirt depending on where you live. We say add a cozy sweater. It's easier to toss into a bag if you get too warm or you can tie it around your shoulders or waist.
LOFT Faux Fur Infinity Scarf ($40) - Scarves are great because they provide warmth which is a bonus especially if you start the day super early. By mid-day when you warm up it can easily be tossed into a shopping bag or your purse. And of course, adding a scarf just gives your outfit a little something extra!
Tory Burch Livia Studs ($78) - Stud earrings are perfect! No muss no fuss! They add just a touch of shine and who doesn't love a little shine?!
Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac ($295) - Cross body bags all day long! You need both hands free for shopping and crossing off all of those names on your shopping list. And it's better to lighten your load and leave your large handbag behind. Only take the essentials which we think are: money, cards, phone, small mirror, lip balm, lip stick or gloss, hair band, mints and a few advil. Oh and don't forget your coupons!
Classic Tall UGGS ($195) - Comfy, cozy and easy slip on. 'Nuff said! Your feet will thank you!
J Crew Popover Plaid Shirt ($90) - Plaid, plaid and more plaid. Just can't get enough. We chose this one not only because it's super cute but because it's a popover style. It's all about ease and if you plan to try on clothes, you can just pull this over your head. No worries about having to unbutton and re-button your shirt. A time saver!

We hope you enjoyed our easy outfit for shopping all of those fabulous Black Friday deals! Do you guys brave Black Friday shopping? Or would you rather just order online and not even get out of your jammies? Let us know!
Happy Shopping!

Love it or Leave it!
It's been so long since we posted a "Love it or Leave it" but we found something that we really wanted to feature. It's new from Benefit Cosmetics and it's called Bling Brow. It's a box of swarovski jewels for the face, body and brows. The box itself is super cute just like all of Benefit's packaging. But to us that's where it ends. This might be really fun if you are a teen though. The model featured looks to be in her teens and it seems like it works for her. We just can't picture ourselves rocking these things.
What Benefit says...
Why we love it!
Bling it on! Light up the room with this sparkling set of Swarovski® crystals. Each set comes with 52 crystals in 2 colors and a pair of mini tweezers. Press the bling onto skin for instant glamour.
How to apply
Peel off black backing sheet. Use tweezers to pick up the self-adhesive crystals then place next to or directly onto brows. Press with finger to secure. Gently pull off crystals to remove. Adhesive on back of crystal is dermatologist tested.
Beauty tip
Bring the bling…a little or a lot.
Tip 1: touch o’ bling. Apply 3 crystals, evenly spaced, along brow bone. Begin under brow arch and finish at end of brow.
Tip 2: big-time bling. Select crystals and press directly onto brow hairs. Follow the shape of brow and place evenly throughout.
Trick 1: For repeat use, apply crystals with a tiny dab of lash glue.
Trick 2: The glitzy tin doubles as a trinket box. Visit a Benefit BrowBar to learn more “BROWtiful” tips and tricks!
Retails: $25.00 USD

Save or Splurge?
I recently came across a post from B Loved Boston blog called Save or Splurge and I wanted to jump in on the fun. Please be sure to go over to Biana's blog and say hi! You'll love her!
You guys know that I'll splurge on cosmetics for sure but what about other things in my life. Below are the categories. If you have a blog, I'd love for you to join in and post and if you don't, please let me know in the comments on what you would Save or Splurge.
Here goes...
1. SAVE! I tend to say save on this one. I do believe that you can find affordable dresses that work for any type of wedding. I would start looking at LOFT and of course wait for those fabulous 40% or 50% off sales. I don't shop there unless they are running a sale. Sometimes Old Navy has the cutest most simple dresses that you can get and then make your own. Add a statement necklace, some fabulous heels and don't forget the lipstick!
2. SAVE! I love ordering anything that sparkles when out to eat. You guys know that I love the bubbly! I tend to stick in the $7 or $8 per glass range or I go for the cheapest split they have on the menu. GASP! I do love the 'spensive stuff from time to time but lets be honest I also love my $5.99 bottle of Andre from the grocery store! What What!!!
3. SPLURGE! I'm definitely known to spend a little more on hotel rooms. I've always been this way about hotels even in my 20's when I really didn't have the money spend on nicer hotels. A nice and clean hotel with decent amenities is where I want to be. The bathroom and the view usually does me in! You will never here me say that when I go on vacation that "the room doesn't matter because I don't plan to be inside much". The room always matters! The upside is that nowadays you can book through so many different travel sites that you can save on nicer hotels. I always go through EBATES when I book hotels (using Hotels.com, Expedia, Travelocity and many more) so that I can get some really good money back in my pocket! It's like double savings when using EBATES!
You guys know that I'll splurge on cosmetics for sure but what about other things in my life. Below are the categories. If you have a blog, I'd love for you to join in and post and if you don't, please let me know in the comments on what you would Save or Splurge.
1. A cocktail dress to wear to a wedding
2. A glass of wine at a restaurant
3. A hotel room
4. A haircut
5. Wild card...you name it!

This dress from LOFT is perfect for a fall/winter wedding. It's currently $98 and on sale for 40% off.

4. SPLURGE! I must first admit that I have had one really terrible haircut/coloring at a "nicer" salon here in town. One that I couldn't believe I actually paid for. However I do truly believe that I get what I'm looking for by spending a little more. I have the cutest stylist right now and her prices are really reasonable compared to what I've spent in the past. I look at getting my hair done as relaxing time for me. It's a way for us girls to take a couple of hours just for ourselves and let someone else make us look and feel beautiful.
5. I've chosen to talk about swimsuits as my WILD CARD option. I say SPLURGE on this one. Now let me explain. I have a shape that requires a little more out of my bathing suits than what I get at Target (and I have gotten suits from Target many times before). For my body the cuts offered on the more expensive ones just work better and I also find that the fabric tends to have the perfect amount of stretch and lift without digging in. I do spend more on my bathing suits and I take care of them so that they last for years. And when I say splurge I don't mean that I'm spending hundreds on each. My last few bathing suits came from Dillard's and were Kenneth Cole. I think I paid about $80-$90 or so for each suit (I believe they tend to mark down their bathing suits after July 4th). If you don't mind spending a little more, I do think La Blanca bathing suits are worth the money too!
It's a bit hard to find swimsuit options this time of year but I did see this one currently available at Macy's.
Also available in Black
