Friday's Fancies: Plaid Season

Plaid is a staple this time of year and there are many, many ways that you can work it into your wardrobe...from handbags and scarves to flannel shirts and jackets. Our outfit for today's Friday's Fancies is perfect for a holiday night out with friends or a date with your man. Don't be afraid to mix another pattern in with your plaid...our tip is just to make sure that your prints are on similar scales. Top it all off with a glamorous red lipstick and nails for a "tis the season" stylish look.

Holiday Ornament Swap

About a month ago we decided to participate in Dreaming of Dimples and Living in Yellow's Holiday Ornament Swap. We were each paired up with two amazing bloggers who we would send ornaments to and we'd also have another two bloggers who would send ornaments to us. (Fun, right?!?)  It was a wonderful way to meet some new blogger friends and we thoroughly enjoyed getting to know them, which made shopping for their ornaments so much more personal!! Today is the link-up party, so it's finally time to share the details with you guys...

Jayme received her ornament from Jessah at Dreaming of Dimples:

Anyone who knows Jayme, knows that she loves anything that sparkles and the girl has a love affair with shoes and nail polish, so Jessah nailed it with her ornament and extra goodies!

Mendi received her ornament from Lori at A Crazy Walk on the Safe Side:

Lori and I chatted a few times over e-mail, so I slipped her a few hints that my tree "theme" is rustic outdoorsy chic (yes, I think I just made that a "style"). This gorgeous pinecone ornament will fit in perfectly with my red berry twigs and burlap garland.

If you want to see the ornaments that Jayme & I sent to our gift recipients, then you'll have to visit their blogs, so be sure to hop on over to see what Jenn from Perfectly Imperfect received from Jayme and what Sami from Sami's Shenanigans received from Mendi.

Jayme and her mom are spending the weekend in NYC doing lots of Christmas shopping and enjoying all of the holiday sights...

I don't know about you guys, but I can't wait to hear all about it!! 

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!

Mendi
