holiday look + winter jackets under $100

Aside from my men’s gift guide today, I wanted to bring you this simple holiday look I wore last week. It was the one chilly day we’ve had in Florida all December (or year for that matter) and I took full advantage to throw on this fur wrap too.

This adorable swing dress (c/o*) is on sale and so comfortable (linked below!) – it’s quite fitting for the holidays and hosting. Additionally, for those of you that are in colder climates, I love how it’s long sleeved and can be paired with tights too.

The wrap (c/o* – also linked below!) comes in various colors and I plan to pair it with jeans and turtlenecks too for a more casual look.

Might I add that this wrap would also be a great gift? Plus it’s one size fits all, duh.

And finally, while I do not need any new winter jackets for the Florida season this year, I am headed to Nashville in a few days and the forecast says COLD so I could not resist picking up the long version of the quilted faux fur jacket below.

It’s 55% OFF, under $100 and every color and style is also on sale. It’s also water repellent so I thought I would share for those of you that may get more wear out of it in 2017 than me.

Stay warm and tuned for more gift guides and giveaways (on Instagram/Snapchat)!

gift guide: holiday pajama picks

If you’ve been following me along on Snapchat (bannc), you know that I have been wearing my Christmas PJs and slippers – both new and old – already as soon as we hit December 1st.

I pretty much have an obsession with PJs in general – so the holiday season brings this out even more. I’ve rounded up some of my favorite ones this year and included below (lots on sale too!) – these are also perfect gifts and attire for Christmas Eve and morning, of course.

Being the oldest of four, I still like to match with all my younger siblings on Christmas morning, cheesy, I know, right? I think they might be over it but I still get way too excited about it.

I’ve also included my absolute favorite new bralette in holiday colors (it’s only $20!). I have a few of these and they’re perfect for those of us that are not as blessed up top!

Oh yes and if you’re not already, be sure to follow me along on Snapchat (bannc) – for more about all my holiday decorating and festivities.

I am also about to do some AMAZING giveaways on Instagram soon so stay tuned!

Merry Merry!

toasting: holiday party dresses

Almost equally as important as gifts, are the lovely frocks we wear this tradition we call a December Bender, right?

Personally, I LOVE red holiday dresses and since we can all wear that LBD any other time of the year, I’ve compiled a bunch of favorite picks this season in all different shades and styles.

Whether you’re a plus one, toasting with your colleagues, hosting the family or headed out for a night out on the town – there’s something for every occasion below (even for my mommy’s-to-be!).

And don’t worry, for those of you who don’t want to be that bold this, most of these dresses come in a black version too!

Merry Merry!
