Son of a Nutcracker, can you believe we’ve already reached Christmas weekend? Just two more sleeps before the holly jolly holiday, and I’mΒ so unprepared still! Β Time for me to turn up some tunes, make some hot cocoa, and get down to business when it comes to wrapping my gifts. Β Man, and I used to be so on top of things when I was younger. Β I’d have my shopping finished a month in advance, and my wrapping would be done before the 15th. Β Guess that’s what happens when you have to adult and your time is sucked up by everything else, huh? Β Anyone with me on this? Β If only I could have my own Santa’s work-shop with a slew of elves to help me out!
Β On a completely separate note, at least I have my outfit put together for Christmas dinner! Β This simply beautiful LBD was a lifesaver that I found on supersale atΒ Express. Β Originally $60, marked down to $40, and on the clearance rack for 50% off, I was able to score it forΒ only $20! Β Can you say “major steal”? Β I’m wrecked to say that it’s sold out online, but you can shop some of my favorite holiday LBDs at the bottom of this post! Β The second I put it on, I had styled an entire outfit in my head, and when I wore the completed look to visit Quirk Hotel’s new pink Christmas tree, I felt like an absolute princess!
There’s something so classically elegant about lace and pearls, so I knew I had to accessorize this lace, bell-sleeved dress with my pearl cluster necklace. Β I kept to a black theme with opaque black tights and my all time favorite black, pointed-toe booties. Β I’ll tell you what, these heels receive more compliments than any other piece in my wardrobe. Β They’re comfortable, cute, and match with literally everything,Β plus they’re less than $30! Β Definitely a must-have for your shoe collection!
Alright, before my cocoa gets cold, I’m going to sign off for the weekend and celebrateΒ the true reason for the season. Β I hope that everybody has a wonderful holiday, spent with family and loved ones, curled up by the fireside, relishing in the joy brought into our homes onΒ this gloriousΒ day! Β Merry Christmas, babes!

This black dress from Express is such a steal for $40! You look beautiful in it and I think it’s just perfect for the holidays. Although you’re wearing an all black ensemble, I think the statement necklace really brings the outfit together with the white contrasting color. Definitely looking so classy here babe.
