Stylish athletic wear was a big trend in 2014 and I think will continue to be popular in 2015. Colorblocked baseball tshirts are probably one of my favorite sporty looks. You can feel comfy and casual but still look cute! The key is to make sure the shirt is fitted (you don't want it too baggy). You could definitely dress up the tee with a skirt or heels but I'm more likely to throw on a pair of jeans and wear mine on a lazy Saturday or while watching a game.

NYE Inspiration (From Your Closet!)

If you're like me and tearing apart your closet in search of the perfect New Year's outfit, here's a little inspiration for you. As you may know, I like to find old items in my closet and wear them in a new way. As much as I love dressing up in something brand new for New Year's Eve, my bank account doesn't always allow me to. Plus, "Should old clothes be forgot on Auld Lang Syne?" (Haha, I'm such a dork!)

This is a festive look I wore to a Christmas party that I think is just sparkly enough to ring in the new year! I took my 3 year old J.Crew sequin top and tucked it in with my plum high-waisted midi pencil skit with a fun high slit. Complete the look with a stack of different shimmery bracelets and ankle-strap pointed toe heels and you're ready to watch the ball drop!

A Little New Year's Eve Sparkle!

Looking for a last minute New Year's Eve outfit? Well you're luck! I've put together a few of my favorite shimmery dresses and skirts with sequins and crystal embellishments. Because what's NYE without a little glitz and glam, right?! And the best part is a lot of these pieces are on sale! Woo hoo!

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year! xx

There's No Place Like Home For The Holidays

by Laura Perkins

If you can't tell from the palm trees, I was back home in St.Petersburg/Clearwater Beach, FL for Christmas. :) It was so good to be with family and friends. And of course the warm weather wasn't so bad either!

Here are two festive outfits I wanted to share with you. The first one is a new take on plaid and can easily be worn into the new year. Take any plaid shirt and pair with your favorite black skinny jeans (I love these faux leather coated pants). Button up the collar and throw on a jeweled statement necklace. Finish the look with cute flats (I'm kind of obsessed with these pointy toe ankle strap shoes). This is a great outfit for the office or drinks with friends.

I was definitely in the holiday spirit for this second look that I wore for Christmas Eve. This bow sweater is two years old but I still think it's so perfect for the season. I paired this fitted knit with my black midi skirt (if only I had a tutu skirt...hey, a girl can dream!). Now I know I normally say to wear heels with midi skirts but I couldn't resist pairing this look with my cute red bow heels to "tie it all together" (see what I did there!?)

I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas! Wishing you many blessings and much love from my family to yours.
