    • Shop the Look Above: Dress: Krisa Surplice Midi Dress from Lyon + Post // Gold Clutch: Tory Burch // Sunglasses: Tory Burch // Leopard Pumps: Nine West // Earrings: Perry Street Crystal Studs from Rocksbox // Photos: Siddharth Somani

    It’s almost Christmas!  It’s that time of the year for holiday parties, holiday festivities and holiday events to spend with coworkers, friends and family!  Finding the perfect holiday outfit to wear to each of these holiday events is important!  If you’re like me, I get sick of all the clothes in my closet.  Luckily, I received this beautiful Krisa Surplice Midi dress in a dark red “port” color in my first Lyon + Post shipment.  The Krisa Surplice Midi dress is the perfect dress to wear to any holiday occasion!  The dress is simple but extremely flattering with a snap button front closure, a key-hole back and a sexy slit on the side.  I paired the Krisa Surplice Midi dress with my Nine West leopard pumps, Tory Burch rimless polarized sunglasses, Tory Burch Britten gold clutch and Perry Street crystal studs from Rocksbox.

    Island Life

    • Shop the Look Above: Blouse: Banana Republic // White Skinny Jeans: Ann Taylor // Sunglasses: Coach // Sandals: Aerosoles

    I wish I could live on Hilton Head Island permanently.  Island life is the best.  My fiancé’s mom and step-dad live in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood.  It is a private, coastal neighborhood, so most of the houses are oceanfront or bayside.  Their house is on the water.  I love sitting out on their dock and watching the boats go by, or a dolphin or two, if I’m lucky.  All the houses in their neighborhood have distinct architecture and the trees are lined with Spanish moss.  During my visit, I felt like I was starring in a Nicholas Sparks’ romantic novel or film.

    Hilton Head

    • Shop the Look Above: Blouse: Ann Taylor // Shorts: Jolt from Nordstrom Rack // Wedges: Aerosoles // Sunglasses: Coach // Necklace: Sophie Harper from Rocksbox

    Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving holiday weekend with loved ones!  I spent Thanksgiving in Hilton Head, South Carolina with my fiancé’s family.  Before I moved to Atlanta, I’d spend Thanksgiving with my family and extended family in Virginia.  My fiancé’s mom and step-dad used to live in Virginia, but they retired and moved to Hilton Head last winter.  My grandfather used to have a house in Hilton Head, but sold it when I was little, so I hadn’t been to Hilton Head since I was baby.
