This may surprise you, but I love packing. There's just something about organizing and planning my outfits that gives me a sense of relief and helps me stay sane during the stress of traveling. Austin, on the other hand, takes more of a "last minute" approach. Opposites attract, right? This Christmas, Austin and I are heading to stay with his family on Christmas Eve, then going to stay with my family for Christmas dinner. Next week, my side of the family are heading to California to surprise my Grandfather for his birthday. He is turning 80 (!) and we are so excited to fly out and celebrate him. ...

At The Tree Farm
Scarves and hats seem to be the accessory of choice these past few days in Dallas. And I am loving this excuse to throw on cozy layers. A few weeks ago, Austin and I went to a local tree farm. It was the first day Dallas started to feel that winter chill (which was fitting considering we were there to pick out a Christmas tree). It was a great excuse to pull out my favorite winter accessories. My trusty Free People Scarf (remember my tan version? Yep, it's back in more colors!) and pom pom hat from Nordstrom were the perfect addition to my cozy, neutral outfit. ...
Leopard Sweater & Pink Coat
This has to be one of my favorite outfits of the season. While I love getting dressed up or throwing on a pair of heels, nothing makes me more comfortable than a soft sweater and jeans. I've been eyeing this leopard sweater for weeks and finally picked it up on sale during my recent trip to NYC. I loved the way it looked with my pink coat. It is such a fun mix and something I have been wearing on repeat this season. ...
Celebrate Each Other
Christmas week is officially here, and I could not be more excited. Although things have been quite busy around here for Austin and I, we are taking time to enjoy the season. Over the weekend we hosted our 2nd annual Christmas Party and officially finished Christmas shopping. Not an easy task fighting crowds one week before the holiday (I know, probably not our smartest move), but it was totally worth it to find the perfect gift. ...

Oversized Sweater & Boyfriend Jeans
If there's one thing I love wearing during the winter, it's a soft, oversized sweater. I picked this sweater up in NYC a few weeks ago and I have not stopped wearing it. Seriously, it's that good. I also bought it in beige too! I love wearing it with my AG Jeans and leather booties for a cool, casual look. ...
5 Things To Do During the Holidays
I just love the holidays. The festive lights, cozy sweaters and joy of the season are just a few things that I look forward to this time of year. But one tradition is special to me: Christmas Date Night. Each year, Austin and I pick an evening to celebrate the season just for the two of us. We started this tradition when we were dating and we both look forward to it every year! Whether we dress up or stay in, we always have a fun time enjoying the season. Here are a few of our things to do during the holidays: ...
