Ain't no party like a New Year's Eve party, 'cause a New Year's Eve party is filled with tons of sparkle! 
 I hope you all have a rip-roaring good time ringing in 2015. Mine will include this sequined dress from H&M, lots of sweets and a round of champagne. 
Here's to the New Year, ya party animals! May yours be magical and full of sparkle! Cheers!

new year, new me

Black Moto Jacket & Midi Skirt
I think by now I've established that I'm no tough, kickass chick. We all agree on that, right? 
So, with 2015 around the corner, I'm making plans to add a little extra sumthin' sumthin' to shake that up. Sumthin' sumthin' in the form of a lot of black. 
I'll never be able to go full on "Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" tough, though. I mean, this sweater by Wet Seal + is literally called The Soft & Fuzzy Sweater. I'm not fooling anyone. I'll always be soft (and fuzzy) at heart.

the cover up

Knotted Plaid Tunic
Well, that's it folks -- Christmas is over. Not that I'm happy about it or anything. I will really miss all of the holly jollyness and twinkling lights, but I am looking forward to some post holiday calm. 
That includes wearing simple, flowy clothing like this Raven Rocker Flannel from Living Doll L.A. I wore to a Christmas gift exchange brunch. 
It is also the perfect tunic for covering up all the mac n' cheese I ate this holiday season. And the pie, and the ham and the cornbread.

a little sparkle

Sequined Holiday Skirt
After all of the stocking stuffing, garland hanging and gift guides guiding, we can all sing out, Christmas is here! Well, Christmas Eve, but I'm counting it. 
That said, I'll make this short and sweet. Merry Christmas to all of you lovely, sweet, beautiful internet girlfriends of mine. May your stocking be filled with all the sparkle your heart desires.

the nice list

Boho Ripped Denim 
I know jeans aren't really holiday attire, but finding this destroyed pair from Wet Seal + was a Christmas miracle. I must've been on the nice list this year, because Santa was definitely looking out for a girl with these.  
But, in keeping with the sparkle of holiday spirit,  I did wear it with their subtle Metallic Surplus top. So, fa-la-la-la-la, y'all!

late girl's guide | holiday sugar cookies

Holiday Sugar Cookies
Christmas time is the perfect excuse to overindulge. I am a lover of cookies (among other things), and with my set of skills, my go-to are sugar cookies. Well, elevated sugar cookies.  
By adding a mix of candies and sweet flavors, the sugar cookies feel more special and homemade.  
Holiday Sugar Cookies

Cookie Ingredients
1. Slice cookie dough 1/2 inch thick ( I followed the directions according to Pillsbury Sugar Cookie Dough). 
2. Smash candy canes into bits and roll caramels into smaller balls. Top cookies with candies.  
3. Bake at 350°F for 11-15 minutes until golden brown. Cool and enjoy with a glass of milk or wrap for a quick, sweet Christmas treat!

merry happy

Plaid Puffer Vest
There are less than 10 days 'til Christmas, and I'm taking advantage of every opportunity I get to be jolly. Ho, ho, ho y'all.  
I've baked cookies, decorated our tree and started to wrap gifts. I'm also wearing as much red and green as I can stomach.  
Case in point, this plaid puffer vest. It's the closest thing I have to a Christmas sweater and is just as festive. I'm pretty sure I've gotten gifts wrapped in this red and green tartan.

shearling, darling

Boho Paisley Dress 
This is a summer dress. You know what I love about summer dresses? With tights, boots and a vest, it becomes a fall dress. 
But not any vest is this transformative. It has to be a fluffier-than-anything-you've-ever-felt shearling vest. One that gives life to the phrase, it's so fluffy I'm gonna die.
This Margaret Elizabeth Faceted Cocktail Ring came in my first Rocksbox. Try your box of hand picked designer pieces for only $9.
