I originally wasn't going to do a yearly roundup post, but after seeing everyone else do them it made me change my mind. So be prepared for a long, photo-heavy post! I had to split it in half because, as usual, I couldn't narrow it down enough. And this doesn't even count all my This Week in Fashion posts...

Yesterday I posted my Christmas Day outfit, today I'm sharing Christmas Eve. A roundabout way to do it, but that's okay! This London Times dress has quickly become my go-to holiday outfit. I wore it for Thanksgiving and now for Christmas. I'm also wearing an awesome bracelet watch that Born Pretty sent me before Christmas. I have a thing for animal jewelry so I was so excited to see it is a snake! Born Pretty is also offering everyone 10% off with code MEGANBC10. You can get anything from a great women’s watch to a new iPhone 5 case.
And: Happy New Years Eve! I hope you all have more exciting plans than me. I'll be sitting at home all by my lonesome. But I like a low key night so it's fine by me.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas! This post is pre-scheduled but you can assume I had a great day. I wore this two weekends ago for a family get together when my Aunt and Uncle visited from Ohio. This is one of my favorite blazers but I don't wear it nearly as often as I should. I searched for it for 7 years after I saw Emma Watson wear it in Teen Vogue, I scored it for $31 on eBay last year.

Wore this outfit a couple weeks ago and I think it's a perfect mix of comfortable and chic. What do you think? As you can tell, this new sweater is getting tons of wear! I took these photos in front of my sister's Christmas tree in her room, which we used to share. It's so funny going in there now with just one bed.
Tonight my Dad's side of the family is coming over for our annual Christmas Eve celebrations! Instead of a big meal we just have munchy food, fine by me! Most of us are grown now so it's a lot more about chatting and hanging out than gifts. We see each other a lot throughout the year but for some reason Christmas is so much more exciting.

I've still got a bunch of outfits with my old hair, so I'll share those before we get to the new ones! I wore this outfit to finish up my Christmas gift shopping at Marshalls a couple weekends ago. I really need to get myself a new pair of black jeans but I keep putting it off. Then when I wear these jeans I get so annoyed. They're too short and they get really baggy up top (calves and butt area)...not good! I'm thinking I should try J Brand or Frame Denim (on sale hopefully,) any suggestions for the perfect pair of black jeans?
I'm so in love with my new Burberry flats, they're so comfy and very unique. I'm a sucker for a statement shoe! I was wearing them at the grocery store and a woman stopped me to say 'I love your shoes!' It always makes me smile when that happens. For their second outing I decided to go with a monochromatic look to coordinate with them.

Happy Friday before Christmas! We're in the home stretch now! I have quite a busy weekend planned. Tonight starts our official movie watching as a family. We have a schedule for the last few days, but the weeks leading up we watch whatever movies we feel like. Tonight is It's a Wonderful Life. Then tomorrow I'm headed to my Aunt's and Sunday I'm going to see The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. I was supposed to go last Saturday but the snow ruined it. Sunday night we're watching Holiday Inn & White Christmas, two of my favorites. But, my absolute favorite (the whole family's actually) is saved for the 23rd: Scrooge with Albert Finney. It's a musical - if you haven't seen it... DO IT! I have to work on Monday, but hopefully it won't be too crazy. Then I'm off Tuesday and Wednesday and it's back to work on Thursday. BUT we get to work from home until January 2nd when we're due back a the office!
You'll notice a big change in my photos this week. I got a hair makeover for one of the websites at work (I'll post the link when the feature is live). I was hoping for an Emma Stone look (like this) but it turned out a little shorter than I was expecting so it's taking a little time to adjust. I'm not fond of short hair on myself but it does look cute when it's curled. The problem is - I don't know how to do it myself! I didn't wash my hair for as long as I could so the original curls would last. Guess I have a mission over the next few weeks - find an affordable and easy to use curling iron, and learn how to use it. A co-worker told me to get the Beachwaver, and others recommend a curling wand. But those are all a bit expensive so I might end at Target or I'll see if I can get lucky and find something for a great price at Marshalls.
Also, I've been trying out a new fragrance this week thanks to my position as a Harper's Bazaar Style Ambassador! It's called The One by Dolce & Gabanna and it is available at ShopBazaar.com! It is a Limited Edition fragrance for women in a polished gold bottle with notes of mandarin, lychee, peach, a base of lily, and finished with a touch of warm. It definitely has potential to become one of my signature scents!
