Hello!  How are you doing?  Sorry to get this up so late, but I had taken a little hiatus from the blog during the holidays because I was having fun decorating the gazebo with some of my favorite little elves and celebrating of course (see sip of champagne in a fancy glass above) :)  It took days to set up this gazebo for our Christmas Party.  It was lots of work, but completely worth it.  

What did you do to get ready for the holidays?

Last year, I wore this dress for a Christmas party because I really like emerald green and I really like velvet.  This is my go to Christmas dress.  Last year I wore it with a gold sparkly belt and red blazer, and this year I decided to style it with an emerald and gold crystal vintage necklace.  Burgundy velvet was a nice change to accent this green outfit instead of wearing Christmas Red as well.  I Love these burgundy velvet stiletto heels by Guess. They are old, but I still love wearing them out during the winter season every chance I get.

Hello and Happy Wednesday to you!  How is your week going?  Since spring is here, I decided to pair these berry tones together.  I was thinking of strawberries and raspberries when I styled this look.  When it comes to pie, strawberry is my absolute favorite with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top....mmm.  However, peach, blueberry, raspberry, and olallieberry are very close behind.  What is your favorite kind of pie?

As you can see, I have a thing for ruffles:)  When I think of spring, I think of anything feminine...the color pink, florals, ruffles, and bows.  I'm making a very slow transition to spring clothing this year.  Today, I thought I'd pair a lighter pastel piece with this neutral pair of Paige gray denim (my favorite jeans at the moment) and a few heavier textures left over from winter.  I bought this velvet berry Moschino bag years ago and usually wear it during winter months.  One of my favorite ways to transition into spring attire is by adding different layers of textures to give spring looks more depth and edge.  This is my little style tip for transitioning into spring looks.  How are you transitioning into spring looks this year?  I'd love to hear from you in the comments below.

Stay Stylish!
