Many excuses and good reasons, hard work and a new job, big projects and sleepless nights caused
this blog-pause for a whole month. But I'm back and I will give you more details about everything in the upcoming posts. Now, I'm ready for a fresh start so Happy New Year! :)
FEELING FESTIVE
Though I love Holiday season in general, dressing up is definitely one of my favorite parts! Yet, with so many different events, parties, get-togethers and mixers to attend, choosing what to wear, can get a bit frustrating! So, I though it would be fun do a post covering a few different functions like a casual work party or a family get-together for example, girls night out and finally, a dressier, date-night type occasion.
CASUAL PARTY:
For me, Holiday dressing doesn't automatically imply getting super dressed up! Take festive outerwear for example, a beautiful plaid jacket in a signature Holiday black and red color combo captures the spirit of the season without looking too formal! Perfect for any casual function, not only does it look great but it will also keep you warm and cozy for the rest of the season:) For today's look, I paired my red checked moto jacket with all black pieces and accessories to really make it the focal point of this look! Fun little finishing touch, an oversized plaid blanket scarf to make that red really pop!
GIRLS NIGHT OUT:
A little fun, a little edgy and sexy, a feathered skirt and a tailored blazer are a match made in fashion heaven and a great alternative to a little black dress! Aside from my general love of separates, what makes this particular feather mini & fitter blazer so great is their versatility. You can pair this mini with tailored pieces like I've done for today's look or wear it with a slouchy turtleneck sweater and boots for a slightly more casual vibe. And the same can be said about the blazer! Dress it up with tailored bottoms or down with a pair of jeans and cute loafers. Basically, the possibilities are endless! For today's outfit, I was going for a really dressy, polished look, so I added strappy heels, a fun gold clutch and some beautiful layered jewels in gold.
DATE NIGHT:
Dresses are my achilles heel, and fun, sequin number are my ultimate weakness, especially for the Holidays!:) Love the way sequins catches the light, sparkles and shines in a beautiful rainbow of colors! Once again, a great alternative to a little black dress, sequin dresses add that perfect dose of glitz and glamour and create a really strong impact. Because they are such a statement piece, I prefer to pair them with really simple accessories so that they don't take away from the dress. A cute pair of heels and a simple clutch is really all you need to shine! Finishing touch? A few layered rings, red lips and tousled waves! And voila! A perfect date-night look!

WINTER WHITES
For me, dressing up is one of the best parts of the Holiday season! My latest obsession? Little white dresses! Don’t get we wrong, I love Holiday classics like black and red, but sometimes it’s kind of fun to switch things up a bit!
Take this grommet-detailed Shoshanna Egerie number for example, aside from the fact that I love the way the shorter length is balanced by a longer sleeve and higher neckline, the combination of stark white and silver grommet detailing makes such a strong statement! Sexy, flirty and fun, to me, this is a perfect example of a quintessential Holiday dress! Initially, I got it to wear to a Christmas party but per usual couldn’t wait to wear this beauty for that long! With such a gorgeous piece, can you really blame me?:) So, I ended up wearing it a bit early to a Holiday soiree with friends. To make this stunner the focal point of the outfit, I went for a monochromatic look, opting for matching accessories in winter white and added just a touch of color with a bright red lip. Finishing touches, a few sparkly rings, silver nails and a smile!:)

WEEKEND GETAWAY TO BIG SUR
I love weekend getaways! I'm sure this comes as no surprise to anyone who frequents my blog. Having a busy schedule doesn't always allow for a full blown vacation, but something about getting away for a few days just makes the biggest difference if I want a bit of relaxation and fun.
Since most of the time these getaways are completely spontaneous, I make sure to keep some of my favorite essentials in my weekender, like super comfy set of PJs, a good book and of course some beauty products like this mini sized Holiday Kit from Burt's Bees. It contains all the things I need in a convenient and very easy to travel with packaging which is a great plus as I like to travel light when it comes to trips like this one. Let me tell you, after walking around in cold and crisp air, my hands and feet appreciated a little moisture at the end of the day:) I love Coconut Foot Cream because I'm a huge fan of anything that contains coconut oil, and the Hand Salve restored my dry hands and cuticles in no time! The Vanilla Bean Lip Balm saved my lips from drying up and cracking because let's face it, dry lips are not a good feeling or a cute look on anybody! Having tried and loved these products, I'm thinking of getting this set for all my girls! So compact and cute, I think it'll be a perfect stocking stuffer!:)
This time around we decided to go a very familiar and beloved route, driving up the beautiful California coast. From San Simeon and Big Sur to Carmel, it's truly amazing what California has to offer! The views of the ocean from Big Sur alone take my breath away every time!
Emil and I love going to familiar places, but we always try to do something new whether it's staying at a new hotel or trying a new restaurant. This time, it happen to be Sierra Mar at Post Ranch Inn. I fell in love with this place before I even tried the food because of the beautiful view it offers. It really is unbeatable. The fact that the food was exceptional was just a cherry on top! :)
What about you guys, where do you love to get away for the weekend?
