Here are some better photos of what I wore to my work Holiday Party last Thursday.  We had a pre-celebration at the office and then I hung out with a co-worker at her apartment while we waited for another friend.  Then we headed to the party, which was held at The Rosewood.  Unfortunately I didn't last long in there, it was far too crowded and my social anxiety took over (not fun,) so I headed out earlier than expected.  I still had a great night though! :D

Last weekend, when I told my roommate and friends that I was planning on wearing these two pieces as a suit, one of my friends (you know who you are!!) said I was going to look like a Grandma and "Why would you wear them together?!"  I quite enjoy this outfit and I think it's perfect for the holidays, it was a hit at the office too. How about you, my dear readers?

[P.S. The Man Repeller suggests a suit too! I guess great minds think alike ;)]

One week until Christmas Eve!!!!!!!! Sorry, had to get that off my chest, ha ha. At this time of year I always find myself wanting to wear more red and green (but those are rare occurrences in my wardrobe consisting of mostly purple, burgundy and jeans, ha ha.  I have been adding some more color over the past few months, though.

Christmas really is a wonderful time of year, but I must make one quick mention of the horrible Newtown, CT school shooting.  It is amazing to think that something like this happened 20 minutes from where I live. I am thankful that I didn't know anyone involved, but my heart breaks for those people who lost friends and loved ones last Friday.

I don't want to end on a sad note, so I'll finish by saying I hope everyone enjoys this time with their families during the Holiday's.  It really is the best time of year, and a time where we should show our love to our families more than ever.

And some amusement for you:

Good morning everyone, this is quite the rare occurrence: my This Week in Fashion post is going up LATE!  Why, do you ask? Because last night was my works Holiday party and I didn't get home until 3am...AHH!  But other than that this was a normal week; wake up, train, work, train, dinner, sleep.

Can you believe there's only one work week left until Christmas!!! Time is just flying by, crazy stuff! Today my mission is to wrap all my presents (and clean my house since during the week I have no time to clean.) Then tomorrow I'm going out to eat and to see The Hobbit with my roommate, YES (we are Lord of the Rings freaks)!!!

Sometimes there are too many good photos to share in one outfit post, especially when your photographer is as awesome as Lydia. Sooo, today I'm sharing some bloopers and other shots from our photoshoot for AndOtherBrands.

Enjoy! :p

As I posted on Monday, I went to a blogger meetup this past Saturday.  Since we're fashion bloggers we obviously had to take some outfit pictures! So be prepared for a deluge of photos. I am obsessed with the coat I wore, it is sooo soft, I could sleep in it!  Of course I had to take a few photos with it off so you could see my underneath outfit, ha ha.
