Holiday Casual

We all know that playing hostess is a busy job. You never really get to sit and soak, well maybe for the span of about five minutes until someone  needs a refill, or you have to refill the snack dish. Being comfortable while still looking polished is the key, especially if you are hosting in the comforts of your own home.

The fab five festive ensembles that are both cozy + casual. Perfect for all the holiday gatherings and will leave you with plenty of wiggle room for dessert.

I am putting those black + gold oxfords on my wish list as we speak.

1. bow shirt | 2. pearl cuff | 3. bow earrings | 4. velvet clutch | 5. gold loafers | 6. pom beanie | 7. velvet pants | 8. pop fizz purse | 9. glitter oxfords | 10. rhinestone earrings | 11. deco ring | 12. plaid blouse

The Season of the Scottie

Tartan prints, pretty bows, black-white and red, and the of course none other than the cute little Scottie dog, all remind me of the holiday-winter season. Be it in pin or sweater form, or a little touch of decor for the vintage home collector. Scotties have been a popular piece of kitsch collecting since the 1930s. Here are some pretty little images and some cute collectibles that I have complied, for your pretty little eyes to view! You can't have the Scottie without the tartan!
