Red Turtleneck $13 // Old Navy Sweater, sold out (similar $59, similar $20) // Gigi Pants $50 // Leopard Flats, similar $80 // Stella & Dot Renegade Bracelet $59 // DY Bracelet // BaubleBar Gold Cuff $32 // Sephora Lipstick in "Hot Tango" $13

To say I had fun with this shoot would be an understatement! I had to bring a present with me as a prop because it's always fun to pick out wrapping paper and coordinating ribbon to put under the tree. I LOVE Christmas and I couldn't help but layer a bright red turtleneck under this cozy sweater. I normally wear a striped turtleneck with it (layers are perfect for my cold office) but hey, tis the season right?

This red lipstick… I sure hope you guys have just gone out and purchased this color already because I wear it every day. It also lasts foreverrrr! If I don't take it off at night it will still be on the next morning. I love how it matches everything and makes my teeth really white! ;)

Alrighty y'all… time to get back to watching my family open their presents! That's one of my favorite parts of today - watching my family open the presents that I picked out for them :) It makes me so happy to make their life a little brighter.

Don't forget to spread some Christmas cheer and help those less fortunate in need. THAT is really what the holiday season is about!

Love Always,
