Merry Christmas, Darling

 I know, I know, it's Thanksgiving! And I fully appreciate that... while mentally thinking ahead to the festivities that await. Whether it's a cookie exchange, a family get-together, a cocktail party or a night out... holiday looks are one of my favorite things about the holidays. And what better way to accessorize than with a fresh face? Any excuse to dress up, wear a red lip and/or fur and I'm in! Current looks I'm loving for holiday outings:

 

And to top it all off (pun intended)... these tanks (perfect under a fabulous fur coat... but appropriate for the blazing (fire-roasted) indoor temps once inside. Maybe it's time for me to address my obsession with black and white...

Holiday Wear, Part III

If your holiday season consists more of punching the clock than refilling the punch bowl, these options might be more your forte. If your office is anything like mine, we are always scurrying around like elves at the North Pole making sure deadlines get met before the sugar coma takes everyone off the radar for a few weeks. And since I work in what was once a coffee warehouse... it can get a bit chilly. Comfort and ease reign supreme, but no one wants to look like they wore their flannel jammies to work (I'm talking to myself on that one). 

Thankfully, H & M is to the rescue. 

cheap + comfy+ chic = sold.
