Sequin Everything for NYE!

Hey guys! Can you believe Christmas has come and gone and now we're talking about NYE plans?! I wore these Sequin Joggers from Denver Street Boutique last year and loved them. I mean, loved. I had lots of questions about them last year and started to get some questions about them again for this year!

I thought I would link tons of fab dresses, joggers, tanks, jackets, etc that are perfect for your holiday plans! Who doesn't love sequins?! On New Years they are almost required. Amiright?

If you buy now (PS lots of sales going on!) you'll get your item in time for the NYE party. And no worries if you get the item/s and they don't fit. Easy returns! :)

I am linking tons of items below but these are my top five favorites:

1. Sequin Joggers - These are similar to the ones I am wearing in these pictures from last year. (Hellooooo long, blonde hair!) These are so much fun and the comfort is amazing! I wore these with a basic black top and black heels to keep of the rest of my outfit simple since my pants were so loud.

2. Backless Sequin Dress - Isn't this amazing?! So beautiful. It still looks comfortable enough to wear while dancing the night away!

3. Tulle and Sequin Dress - This is gorgeous. It's a little bit fancier, so it's perfect if you're going to a more formal event or party. Love this deep blue!

4. Sequin Jacket - This is stunning! An easy thing to throw on over anything to spice up your outfit!

5. Chandelier Earrings - These are such a great statement piece. You can wear these over and over again. You guys know I'm a sucker for all things accessories! So I'm also going to mention this Sequin Clutch. Another accessory you can wear over and over again and it just takes your outfit to the next level!

Casual Daytime Outfit

Hey guys! How are you all holding up with the holiday craze? I can't believe it's Christmas week! I better get my butt in gear and start wrapping presents. It always takes longer than I think and love having it all done a couple days before Christmas so I'm not up until 4am wrapping on Christmas Eve! Gah. 

This outfit is super casual for running errands and I love each piece so much! This bag is my current favorite! I'm obsessed. It can be worn as shown here or you can switch the strap and wear it cross body. My jacket is a comfortable version of a warm jacket and I love that it's a mix of sweater/jacket. 

I know I've mentioned these booties before and I love them so much I asked Santa for them in black, too! :) These sunnies are a knock off for $12 and I love them. I'll link both below. I also love a fun pop of color on the lips. 

Wishing you all a wonderful week with family and friends celebrating our Savior! Stay safe and warm! xo

Yes, I know I have lipstick on my teeth. Insert crying emoji. My Instagram husband dropped the ball here. LOL jk jk

Gift Guide for the Family

Hey guys! Today I'm sharing a huge Gift Guide for the men, women and kids in your life! I came up with a top 9 for each category and hope this helps you with the person who has everything. Would love to know what's on your wish list!

Everything below is something we have loved or something we are wishing for this year. Hope you enjoy and happy shopping! xo 
MEN


1. Cologne - I absolutely love this scent! Tim has worn it for years
and I can't get enough of it!
2. Wingtip Oxford - Tim has these shoes and they are his favorite!
He has them in two colors and gets compliments on them every time he wears them.
3. Yeti Tumbler - Ok, Tooth is obsessed with his Yeti Tumbler.
I think he has three now! LOL He takes them everywhere he goes and rants and raves about how cool his Yeti's are. Eye roll. But it's been a hit!
4. Laser Rangefinder - Tooth asked for this from Santa this year.
He's had one for the past 4-5 years and it recently broke.
He's dying for a new one and this might be favorite toy ever!
If your hubby/significant other is a big time golfer, this toy is really fun for them.
5. AG Jeans - Tim is tall and has a hard time finding jeans that fit
just right. He tried these on the other day and fell in love with them.
I told him he'd have to wait to see if Santa puts them under the tree! ;)
6. Miracle Man - I try to get Tim a book each year and this one came
highly recommended!
7. Happy Socks - It took me a couple years to get Tim on the
fun-sock band wagon. But now he loves them! These socks are a fun
addition to a guys outfit. Guys don't get to have nearly as much fun with
accessories as women do!
8. Watch Case - This is a great idea for the watch lover!
I love that you can customize it and keep your watches safe and in one place.
9. Beanie - Everyone needs a beanie! I'm digging this bright
red, but it comes in many color options.

for so long! It's so pretty. And love the red for the holidays.
6. Michael Kors Watch - I have this watch and it is a must-have

love it. It comes in tons of colors and I totally want it in this

Dream big, girl! LOL I think Ryd and Blake will both love this toy.

A Little Holiday Elegance - Denver Style Magazine

Hey guys! It's December which means faux fur everything! This vest is from Denver Street Boutique and I can't get enough of it. This vest is easy to dress up or down and definitely adds a layer of interest and elegance to any outfit. This faux fur vest with a beautiful dress for a holiday party/New Years Eve? Yes, please! (Loving this dress so much. And this one!) 

My gold clutch is also from Denver Street Boutique. I love this pop of gold. Again this just adds a sleek style to spice up an otherwise casual outfit. I got this clutch from DSB's truck last year and always gravitate towards it when I'm getting dressed up for a special occasion or going to holiday parties! 

My thin gray sweater is from Fabrik and I love it. Seriously can't get enough of it! I wear this top when I'm in leggings with my kids all day and have also worn it tucked in with a skirt. I love having basic tops in my closet that make sense dressed down and/or dressed up. This three layered white and gold necklace is from Evereve in Aspen Grove. I love everything in that place! Evereve is my jam. They take very reasonable and comfortable pieces and make them look put together and beautiful for everyday. 

These jeans are a recent purchase from Nordstrom. You can't beat the price point and they are very comfortable. Which is a must for me! I love the dark wash with a little distressed detailing. These Halogen heels are a few years old but will link similar styles below. I love this fun pop of color in the heel and the gold studded detail here just adds more elegance and style to complete the look.

My cute coffee tumbler is from Francesas. I love fun and graphic tumblers! They are so fun and great gift ideas for the person who has everything! Because everyone could use a fun tumbler in their life. I will link all my stacked bracelets below. These are all go-to pieces for me. The silver and blue bracelet is from Details Boutique in Downtown Littleton. (When you purchase items made by Bops you are supporting women entrepreneurs across the globe.)

Pink Bomber Jacket and Lace Up Heels

Hey guys! We went down to Denver one afternoon (big adventure for this suburb mom!) and OMG the cold. It was so, so cold. And windy! We were not expecting it so we weren't dressed warm enough and holy smokes I was trying so hard to look normal-ish in these pics but I was freezing! lol

Anyway, I recently got these jeans and you can't beat the price! They are stretchy and comfy and everything wonderful. I love that they are a little distressed, but not too much. These lace up heels are a go-to for me. I can't get enough of them. 

I am just wearing a basic black tee under this adorable pink bomber jacket. This jacket is so darling! I love bombers but haven't gotten one until recently because I really don't like the big puffy ones. Not my thing. So this light, soft bomber was perfect! 

I've already mentioned this personalized rose gold necklace. But I love it so much! It's a great gift idea for the women in your life this Christmas (new moms, sisters, mom, mother-in-law, etc). I have my kiddies initials engraved on it and it makes me oh, so happy! Also, this stack of bracelets is a must! I always get asked about it and I love that it's already put together for me so I don't have to spend time standing in my closet wondering what random combo goes together. I have a major crush on this stack and wear them almost every day. 

There are way too many pics here but we kept finding fun walls! :) Side note: I can't explain how much happiness a little red cup from Starbucks full of hot chocolate brings me. It's the little things, right? 

 
And another wall...
And another... ;)

Basic Layers for Winter

Hey guys! These pics were taken the last time we had a little snow. I'm really craving snow right now. This time of year just requires snow. Makes it feel like the holidays are coming. Since there hasn't been a ton of snow I think it's led me to believe there is more time until Christmas than there really is!! Yikes. I just realized there are only THREE weekends left until Christmas! 

I struggle this time of year. It is so easy for me to get really overwhelmed with my to-do list and balance all the things I'm juggling. I'm sure all moms/humans feel this way this time of year, right?! I find it helps me stay calm and feel less cluttered in my mind when the house is organized. My hubby is really helpful and is so sweet when it comes to this. He knows that this makes a huge difference with my anxiety. We try hard to keep up on the home, which is tough with lots of little humans running around making messes. Honestly, it's like these toddlers of mine don't even care about my need for perfectly straightened toys and organized drawers of clothes. Eye roll. 

I currently have four to-do lists with errands to run, groceries and dinner to buy and make, presents to buy. Laundry. Wash my car. Fold the laundry (after I wash it for the 5th time because I keep forgetting to hang it!). The list goes on. How do you guys manage to stay organized this year and not totally loose your shit?!

I absolutely love the simple, basic layers worn here. If the weather doesn't absolutely require a big, puffy (or stiff) jacket, I always skip it! It just easier to carry babies and bags and snacks all at once when I don't also feel like I'm really restricted by a giant jacket! This sweater is perfect for layering. 

I will link everything below. This hat is from last season but I will link similar ones! I love little pops of red (and leopard!). The red just gives me an extra pep in my step this time of year. SANTA!!! I KNOW HIM!!

I promise she loves me. ;)
