VIDEO: Holiday Lookbook

The time has come to bust out the sparkles, glitter, sequins, leather, lace, and drama when it comes to your wardrobe! I don't normally get too excited about the holidays but I do love dressing up. While deciding what to wear to parties, get togethers, and family dinners can be fun and exciting, it can also be stressful and time consuming. I've put together a few holiday season looks to give you some inspiration. Most of the looks are a mix of thrifted, vintage, and H&M clothing to show how you don't need to break the bank this season. I hope you enjoy and happy holidays/new years to you!

Today calls for red lips.

If you simply judged me by the photos below, you'd guess I'm a total holiday-fanatic. Truth is, all my friends know I'm a bit of a grinch. Let's face it. As much as we try and try to make the holidays all about giving and family and love, there's a lot of bullshit that slips in between. I'm talking about the malls, the music, the fluff. I hate that stuff. And it's not because I have no soul or don't love giving but all of the fluff tends to cloud our vision. While there's no way to completely avoid all of these things, I feel like as long as you do spend time with the people you love and have fun, it's all worth it in a strange way.
After losing my grandma this year, and going through what seemed like an unusually huge dose of life struggles (2013, why?!), I learned that family, friends, and fun are all that matter. And maybe food, music, and fluff are a part of that but they shouldn't overcrowd the things that matter.
I do come out of my grinch ways about a week leading up to Christmas. I embrace the tree, the music, and everything in between. I wish you all the merriest holidays, and hope my fellow grinches can embrace the love of family, good food, and tacky music.
