Happy Xmas

What's your favorite holiday tradition? Each year, my best buddy and I go to Chinatown, eat a ton of food, and throw money away on scratch off lottery tickets. It's a silly way to celebrate our holiday, but we've been doing it for the past five years and I wouldn't trade it for anything else!

Bagged Lunch

Holiday errands and lunch on the go. I'm really living for the comfy paperbag pants this season! I bought these in two colors (and just realized that they're available online in more colors!) and they've been my go-to!

Last Minute Gifts with Sephora inside JCPenney

I love the holidays! The food, the friends, and of course, the gift giving and receiving. This year I finished all of my holiday shopping early with the help of Sephora inside JCPenney. I picked up a few last-minute gifts — you should add them to your list and get wrapping! Click through for more info on a few of my favorite gifts and how Sephora inside JCPenney can help cross names of your list.

You've Got Nail 93 // November Scratch Box

I was really excited to get the November Scratch Box! Last November they also did plaid wraps and I had so much fun creating with them. These red plaid wraps were reminiscent of a manicure I did earlier this year!

Thirty-Two

Today is my 32nd birthday. ♥

You're an All Star

There's nothing quite like a crisp new pair of Converse! I used to buy the All Star High Top sneakers in high school, so getting a new pair this week is a nice change from my typical low tops. Converse sent me over these shoes to review, and I must say that I will always love this classic style and design.

The Yellow Sweater

I've been living in this sweater and am ready to buy it in all the other colors! I posted it on Instagram last week and got a ton of questions — and I'm happy now to share that it is actually from Amazon! When I styled it with these shorts, I sort of folded it and tucked it into my bra for a cropped look. But normally I wear it with jeans ♥  Meanwhile, I'm getting all packed up for my road trip to Ohio for Thanksgiving. Are y'all traveling this year?

You've Got Nail 92 // September Scratch Box

I'm slowwwwwly getting caught up on these old nails posts! The September Scratch set was one of my recent favorites with its colorful florals and versatility. During the late summer, I went through a checkered nail phase and it pulled over into my September manicure. Click through to see the planning process and the sets!
