What She Wore: Christmas Edition

HER
 I always feel like I don't know what to wear and during this time of year I feel like the pressure is on.  Between Christmas and New Years I could lose it.  They are so close together you have to plan for both at the same time.  And if you are like me, I get tired of my clothes every once in a while.  Well this year I made sure to have options!
So what did I decided to wear for Christmas?  
When shopping on Black Friday I found the perfect top at J.Crew. I knew right then and there I was going to wear it for Christmas. Check that off the list!
Here is what I wore. 


  This top was perfect for the day.  J.Crew saves the day once again.

My family and I had a wonderful Christmas. I hope you all did as well. 
Now all I have to worry about is New Years because lets face it, I still am not sure what I'm going to do or wear this year.

What He Wore: Christmas Edition

HIM

Well Christmas is the time of year for cords with embroidered trees, or Santa hats, or even candy canes.  It is that time of year for plaids and bow ties. It is the time of year to go all out on your outfit because it is the holidays.
You can't go wrong with the simple sweater, cords, tie and button down.  And for this year that is what I decided to go with for Christmas.


 Classic green cords for the holiday festive side, followed up with a crisp white button down and plaid tie, topped off with a Polo sweater.


 It all comes together with a Makers and Ginger.

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday.

For the Holiday Hostess

HER

During this time of year people invite friends and family over to celebrate the holidays.  I find myself running around thinking what to get as a hostess gift.  You know a little something nice.  Now sometimes I feel I over think these little gifts, making it so much harder.  But this year I have some good go to items.

1. Popsations Popcorn 

I have just recently blogged about this great find here in Maryland.  I have to say the Chocolate Drizzle is so delicious it will bring you back for more.  


This is an easy go to gift and the best part about it for this time of year is the White Chocolate Peppermint.  

 
You will be well greeted when walking in with one of these gourmet popcorn bags.  You can find my post about this great popcorn here.

2. Mouth Party Caramels 

These are the best caramels.  Absolutely fantastic, melt in your mouth, perfection are just some of the words that come to mind. 


 I had them as my wedding favors and I was receiving phone calls about them and where to find them.  The answer is right here in Baltimore! People will rave about them.

3. Candles

You can't go wrong with a nice smelling candle.


The Volcano candle is one of my favorites.  Paired with a cute set of matches and you are done.
So when invited over to someone's house don't panic about the hostess gift.  Don't over think what to get.  Simple is always best.
