Happy Saturday!
I was Christmas shopping looking for a new watch for TC at the Fossil store, and this vest caught my eye. I love the color, I love the boyfriend fit, and it's no secret.. I LOVE vests. I paired it with a long sleeve shirt from target and dressed it up with my Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac.
This vest ran large, so I got it in an extra small. I'm not sure if it's still available- due to it being on sale when I bought it.. but I know a couple other places that have very similar vests right now.
My boots are so.comfy. the chunky heel makes them so easy to walk in- it doesn't even feel like you're wearing heels! I just told TC today, "uhm.. I may purchase these in every color they offer".
They're that comfy.
Of course I'll link everything below- feel free to email me or comment below if you have any questions!
Hope y'all are enjoying your saturday!
My thermal is an xtra-large. I bought it big so I could also wear it with tights. Purchase it here. I also have this thermal in Blue Diamond and Red.
My jeans can be found here
My crossbody (i'm obsessed.. easily one of the best Christmas gifts I received) is sold out in this color... here. BUT this black mini mac is timeless!
My booties- here
My lipstick is 1995 by Gerard Cosmetics, purchase it here

December always flies by for me. Every year, never fails.
I have a lot going on in December; TC's birthday, his Fathers Birthday, our niece Emma's birthday, the holidays, and of course the shopping.
With that being said, I didn't try out a LOT of new products. I also did not want to include my new favorites I got for Christmas, because I want to use them for a month.. it's only fair!
Now, lets jump into my December Favorites!
Ps. Still working on the best way to shoot/put these posts together. Bare with me.

A couple people have emailed or text me and asked for more personal posts. I try to steer clear of "personal" posts, but I don't see any harm in sharing some wedding stuff here and there. It's super exciting and we have so many great things planned for our big day!
Now, we are not the couple that is comfortable in front of a camera. It's funny, when we had to make our wedding website, we went through the photos we had together.. and it was slim pickin'. We just don't take a lot of photos together; and when we do they're quick, cute, and usually silly. So finding the right photographer was important because we both wanted to feel comfortable, look natural, and get amazing pictures! When we sat down with our photographer Amber from Amber Jaye McCarthy Photography, we knew she was a great fit. We had met with other photographers, but with Amber we felt instantly comfortable! The process was painless and a lot less awkward than we expected! We love Amber and after our session we both said "that wasn't so bad"! So without further a due, here are some shots from our engagement session!

First, this amazing vest from Monica's Closet Essentials is back for pre-order! I have to warn you, it's not tweed. It's just printed to look like tweed. The vest is a "cotton finish" so it's super soft and durable. I was worried about putting this vest on my Christmas list, due to it being "pre-order". I wasn't sure how long it would take to ship. However, it shipped quickly and arrived before Christmas. I would think if you ordered this vest today, it should be here within in a couple weeks. Which is quick for pre-order. Of course I'll link similar non-pre order vests.
Now for the infamous "blanket scarf"... I LOVE THIS SCARF. Dramatic? Nope. It is that amazing.
A lot of boutiques and stores are carrying these blanket scarfs. Of course I'll link a couple sites down below! I want to also warn you that these scarfs are large and in charge. If you're anything like me, this is a plus.. because that just means they're extra cozy! I just didn't want y'all to order this and be surprised when it arrived.
As always, I'll link everything.
I hope y'all are enjoying your week back from Christmas break!
Big Love & New Years Hugs,

PS. I'm working on my December favorites.
PSS. I promise my New Years will be spent putting together outfits for y'all, because you are my people!

Thank you Lupita Nyong'o for Capes! She looked fantastic at the 2014 golden globes! See her look here.
Capes.. easy, effortless, and so cute!
First, the color of this cape. It make a statement and it's perfect for fall and winter. I wish this cape came in multiple colors, I would totally purchase it in every color!
The material is soft wool blend. It is not itchy at all, I could sleep in this cape.
I paired it with J Crew's pixie pant. If you don't own a pair of these, you're missing out. They are like legging material- but structured so they look like pants. The perfect pair of pants for the fall and winter. I wear them non-stop. Jump on it, if you don't have a pair.. or 6 already in your closet.
My riding boots are older, but of course I'll link a similar pair at the bottom of this post.
The cute little cross-body I'm wearing is from forever 21... and it comes in MULTIPLE colors, WIN!

So I was on third day hair and decided to share with you how I disguise it!
I don't know about you, but washing my hair can be a pain, and It's super time consuming.
I love this braided bun because its super quick, super easy, and looks like you put effort into your hair!
Follow these three steps: pony, braid two strands, and wrap.
It's easy as pie!
It's easy as pie!
But... I'll show you how I get this braided bun, Step By Step!

1. Brush out that mane girl!

2. Tease, tease, and more tease (for me, this is a must)
.JPG)
(more tease please!)
3. Now, pull your hair back into a high pony. It's important to use a hair band that's close to the color of your hair. Once up, spilt it in two sections.

4. Braid one side. This doesn't have to be neat, that's what bobby pins are for.. duh!
.JPG)
5. Wrap the first section around the base of your pony tail, stick bobby pins all over to make sure its secure and in place. Then, repeat for the second section.

6. Move your braids around until your hair is in place and you're happy with the look of the bun. *again, bobby pins are your friend!

Ta Da!

Heres what I used!
1. Batiste dry shampoo
2. Elnett Satin Hair Spray (not my favorite)
3. The "Wet Brush"
4. Teasing comb
5. Bobby Pins
6. Hair Tie
Hope y'all enjoyed this quick and easy braided bun! Also,
Let me know if you would like more hair posts?
