Holiday Shopping: The Cozy Gift Guide

December 2015

As we near winter (next week!) and start thinking about lounging around the house during the holiday break, there’s one thing that comes to mind: getting cozy! ‘Tis the season to cuddle up on the couch and watch Love Actually or The Holiday or Sleepless in Seattle…okay okay, you get it…I like romantic comedies! 😉 Needless to say, you can never go wrong giving the gift of comfort – and each of these items above just screams “let’s get cozy!” ..And I’m all about that!

The Best Gift Ideas for Mom

December 2015

If there’s one person who deserves to be treated to an extra special gift this holiday season, it’s most definitely the moms in our lives! Not only is my mom my confidant, number one fan and rock in life, she’s also super-grandma to six grandbabies, super-mom to five kids (who all still call her daily!), the best holiday host around and the most selfless and giving person I know! I’d say if anyone deserves some serious spoiling this Christmas, it’s 100% her! My mom’s name is Kim, hence the “K” monogram tote above. 😉

Shift Dress & Cozy Vest

December 2015

Hi gals! First off, it’s finally getting a tad colder in Austin – it’s a Christmas miracle! Second, this means one thing that I loooove when it comes to styling an outfit…layering up and accessorizing accordingly! So what does that mean exactly? Vests over dresses, sparkly jewelry (which I especially love around the holidays) and a pretty new iPhone 6 case by STIL to match! I’m a sucker for fashionable tech, and this case definitely fits my simple style perfectly.

Holiday Party Style: Little Red Dress

December 2015

Hello, cutest little red dress I ever did see! Complete with a sweetheart neckline and off the shoulder details (are those not precious?), I’d say this dress just about takes the cake when it comes to an adorable holiday party pick!

This is actually the exact outfit I wore to my work Christmas party last Saturday evening and it was a huge hit! Blake and I had just finished shooting a blog post for Style Me Pretty while at Villa Del Lago in Austin (umm, is this place not stunning?!), and we were short on time so I quickly changed into this look before we jetted to the party.

Faux Fur Vest & Buffalo Plaid Top

December 2015

This vest = a magical, soft pillow that you wear around your body…aka, it’s fabulous and you guessed it – SO comfy. My faux fur (not that I could afford real fur #letsbehonest, but Blake is a vegetarian and would be soo proud that it’s faux 😉 ) is by bb Dakota and I wear this thing ALL the time! No seriously, if you follow me on Instagram, I reaaaally do wear it all the time..ha! It elevates an otherwise much more casual look and adds that practical thing we like to call warmth…as in, dressing for these colder temps…because, ya know, we’re nearly to winter and all. (Also..what the what?! Y’all, it’s December 7th…how the heck did that happen?!).

Adorable Gifts for Her!

December 2015

Y’all…can you believe we’re just 19 days away from Christmas?! The holidays are in full swing which means that gift list could use a few check marks here & there! 😉 We did some gift shopping over the weekend and scooped up some Christmas-y decor for our abode (it was in desperate need!), it was so nice to get things done early…feeling somewhat ahead of the game (which is a rarity given that I am SO disorganized and definitely not the “planner” type..!). Anyhoo, I know on Sunday nights I like to grab my glass of vino and get online, so I thought I’d round up some of my favorite gift ideas for your galpals/mama/sister/bff tonight on LL. Hope you enjoy my picks! Ps. I totally already snagged myself one of those pineapple tumblers…Blake uses it all the time, they’re adorable!

Plaid Poncho at Springdale Farm

December 2015

Ohh Austin, how I love this city! There are hidden gems and activities all over this place, like the beautiful Springdale Farm. As you can see it’s a precious little farmhouse with stunning grounds filled with fresh vegetables (chicken coop not pictured, ha!) and the sweetest owners. One of my photographer friends had been wanting to shoot at Springdale Farm for a while, so finally we were able to make it happen! Every Wednesday and Saturday morning, the farm hosts a farmers market where you can shop for fresh veggies and fruits – super cool concept and just an overall wonderful atmosphere at the farm…sooo peaceful, relaxing and inviting – my kinda place!
