My fave ornament: the peacock

Moose shaped chicken...genius

The most beautiful mess of the year

O.O.T.D: My Favorite Christmas Story...

He met her up in Delaware in 1937, She was wearing red lipstick to match her pretty dress....

I figured it was about time to post an outfit of the day with this dress...'cause I am a little obsessed with it, and would probably wear it everyday if I didn't have to wash it every once in a while....   

product list 

Navy and red have always been my fave colors to wear, and ever since I saw Troian Bellisario wear this dress on Pretty Little Liars I had to have it!  It looks so fabulously effortless and goes with pretty much everything.  I especially love to wear it with my new Tommy Hilfiger boots (an amazing early Christmas present) and  a simple caban jacket - just add some matching cozy accessories and you're good to go Christmas shopping or, you know...whatever...

Peace, Love and Sunshine

Dear Santa...

Don't we all have that one ultimate Christmas wish  list?  Well here's mine just for fun...but if you wanna get me something from it  that's cool too ;)

Product List

1) Burberry Prorsum Down Coat – Rachel Bilson has this, and while that is usually reason enough to want it,  it's also simply gorgeous...and you all know how I feel about Burberry.

2) Michael Kors Runway Chronograph in Chocolate – as in the color, not made out of chocolate ...althought I wouldn't be opposed to that either.  

3) Tartan Biker Jacket – two words:  plaind cool 

4) Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Live Anthology (Vinyl Box Set) – This would make the best present ever!  ...especially because I would never spend that much on a box set myself when I already have half of the songs on my iPod...but it's so awesome!

5) Nike Air Pegasus+ 28 – I have the 27s, and they are by far the best running shoes I ever owned...so I wouldn't mind an upgrade. 

6) Yee-Haute Necklace from Modcloth – it's just cute.

7) Crosley Keepsake USB Turntable – I've wanted one of these for the longest time, and if I had it I could finally send my beloved record player into a well deserved  retirement.  

8) Nike Monica Yoga bag – I love the color, the design, and how roomy this bag is. It could easily double as a weekender.  

So what are some of your dream Christmas presents?  Let me know, comment below!

Peace, Love and Sunshine

Stocking Stuffers

It's Christmas all over again... And if you are anything like me, and still trying to find some little presents for your friends then keep on reading:

Product List

1) Do you have friends who like to read? How about giving them their favorite classic in a pretty new look. Are they into books and technology? Then nothing beats a book cover inspired  iPhone case or a book that helps whenever you can't think of the right 140 characters.  

2) A limited edition nail polish? The best mascara ever made? Soda flavored lip balm? - Things that make  every girly-girl happy.

3) Who doesn't like pillows? They are very huggable...and come in so many designs!  Even with horsies!

4) Everyone has their favorite Disney classic - and H&M has  cute and affordable T-shirts with Bambi and co. on them. 

5) Know someone who needs a little warmth in their life? Then those USB handwarmers are perfect ...and they look like toast.

6) A candy cane shaped tea infuser? Does it get more christmassy than that? And tea is served best with fresh cookies - especially the mustache shaped ones your friends can make with their new cookie cutter set.

I hope this could give you a few ideas!  And the best?  It's all available online, so no shopping stress ;)

Peace, Love and Sunshine

Christmas Playlist

Remember my Summer Playlist post?  Well you guys loved it so much that I figured a Christmas song version was due ;) So lets jump right into it....

1) Santa Baby (The Everclear Version): Sure a guy singing Santa Baby is a little weird - but it's also really hot! I kept the  outfit on the wild side with leather leggings and a plaid shirt, but you can't do Santa Baby without some bling and sparkles (Tiffany of course). Finish it off with a cool hat and some badass - but cozy- boots and there's nothing Santa won't do for you.    

2) Baby It's Cold Outside (any version, but GLEE's in particular): The infamous "Date-Rape Christmas Carol" never gets old. I love the look of a party dress under a warm down coat. Just add cozy accessories and  some comfy booties and you won't catch pneumonia if you feel the need to run...

3) Christmas Wrapping (again, big fan of the GLEE Version): From the 80s sound to the fun lyrics there's nothing I don't love about this song - and it shows in the outfit.  Key essentials in any 80s Christmas song outfit?  A down vest  over a reindeer sweater of course!  Have fun with the accessories. Sequined earmuffs?  Yes please!  

So what are your favorite Christmas Songs? Let me know, comment below.

Peace, Love and Sunshine

In December...

...drinking Horchata (I've waited months to post this)

Drinking Horchata in the snow is kinda awesome (and yes I'm loving it just because of that song), but be sure to bundle up in something warm. I know that it's not the most fashionable combo, but when I'm outside enjoying a sunny snowday I'm the happiest in a down jacket, UGGs, and my newest obsession hooded scarves (aka snoods)  - and if you're anything like me and into cheesy Christmas tees check out the ones at Hollister (pineapple trimming and hot Santas?...I'm in heaven).

And of course this post wouldn't be complete without a Horchata recipe so just follow this link: Horchata Recipe (Food Network) and enjoy.
