Holiday Leopard with Ashton

Happy Monday Y'all!

I hope everyone had a phenomenal weekend! I celebrated my birthday (extremely early) and watched a ton of football with Dr. D. Still can't get over the Eagles vs. Lions game continuing to play in 8+ inches of snow. Sheer madness!

Today I'm teaming up with the wonderful Ashton from Ashton Wears Things to show you how we wear leopard during the holiday season!

I love how Ashton styled her black blazer and leather leggings with pops of gold and leopard! Such a great twist on the all black and leopard combo and perfect for the holidays!

I have my fair share of brown/black leopard tops, but for the holidays I wanted to spice things up a bit with some red leopard. I paired it with a white skirt and a skinny belt (glitter of course!)

With the holiday parties in full swing, I switched out my plum purple mani for a emerald green to feel more festive!

Stylish Tuesday #3

Over the holiday weekend I flew to Las Vegas to meet up with my family. I was beyond thankful I didn't experience a Diane in seat 7A ...

I haven't seen my family in 6 months so it was such a refreshing weekend to get to relax, enjoy a show and gamble with my dad.

How did you spend your Thanksgiving weekend? I hope it was filled with lots of love, friends/family and incredible food!

My favorite look from last week was Vicki from Wilde in the City! That sweater dress? I die!

Happy Friendsgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Last Sunday my roommate and I hosted our 2nd Annual "Friendsgiving" dinner. We invited 20 of our closest friends over and had a spectacular pot luck style dinner. It was such a fun night filled with friends, football and even a white elephant exchange!

The hostess with the most-ess admiring her hard work!

While Thanksgiving is hugely about the food, many people forget it's about being thankful for all you have.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think moving to California would be such an exciting and thrilling ride. I packed up my car a year and a half ago to move to a foreign HUGE city, without a job and only knowing 1 person in L.A.

Now I can proudly say I love my job, my relationship with Dr. D is better than ever and I have such a strong group of friends most people would kill for. For that I am truly thankful.

Best roomie ever. Morgs is my everything!
Ally was the first Californian I had ever met. You know those girls you meet and just click with? That's us in a nutshell
Sir Thomas J is quite frankly one of the greatest guys I've ever known
Riz Ree makes you smile no matter how crappy of a mood you're in
Hongers & Jamie are simply the best. Plain and simple!
Greg and Matt are my go to guys. They're always down for anything!
Chad will do anything for anyone. People like him are truly rare!
Dr. D is my better half. Can't wait to spend the weekend with him!

I'm off to Viva Las Vegas for the holiday to see my family! Hope everyone has a fabulous Turkey Day!
