I hope everyone had a great Christmas (or time off if you don't celebrate.) This is what I wore for our first party, with my Mom's side of the family.  I had wanted to wear this dress for Christmas last year but ended up wearing a brand new dress instead since I had worn this a couple months previously (here and here). What I love about this dress is I don't have to worry about accessories! Just throw on shoes and you're good to go.

Dress: Altuzarra for Target (shirt version), Heels: Prada (The Real Real)

Happy Christmas Eve! For this week's throwback look I decided to rewear what I wore on Christmas Even in 2012! That year I went a little more casual than usual with jeans so it was easy to wear the look for my regular day-to-day activities. And this is all the same pieces I wore, except the jeans. I do still have the jeans in this outfit but I wore a new pair instead. Lydia was kind enough to help me with these outfit photos so of course I look way better than normal. ;)

Turtleneck Tank: Willi Smith (TJ Maxx), Blazer: Darjoni (Good Will), Jeans: J Brand 811 Photo Ready Mid-Rise Skinny (Gilt), Heels: Lanvin (Roundabout Resale)

If you noticed, I said last Friday that I wasn't going to see Star Wars on Thursday - opening day. In the end I changed my mind since I was in Florida and my friends were going, I couldn't not go, right?! So I've seen it twice already and can't wait to see it again.  This is what I wore on Saturday when I saw it with my family! My brother said it looked like I had a wookie skin on with my vest. Whatever. I promise, this will be the last Star Wars themed outfit for a while, I know you guys are probably getting tired of them! Ha ha.

Vest: French Connection (Marshalls), Jeans: FRAME 'Le Skinny de Jeanne Jeans' (Shopbop), Flats: Etienne Aigner (thrifted), R2D2 Necklace c/o Kohl's

Today I'm sharing some photos from my Florida vacation. I was there from Tuesday night (the 15th) through Friday night. It was so fun seeing the theme parks at Christmastime since I've never done that before.  This was my fourth trip to Florida in 2015. Insanity. And I already have the first trip for 2016 planned (January for the 3rd annual Harry Potter Celebration)

Happy Monday! As many of you may have noticed from my Instagrams last week, I took a last minute trip to Florida with a friend! I can't turn down a trip when it's cheap! (Free flight with points and cheap hotel!)  I got some more use out of my Universal Orlando Annual Pass, it's definitely getting a nice workout this year.  We spent most of our time there but visited Disney on one day to see it at Christmas!  I only took outfit photos on one day so here we go! (I'll post some candid photos tomorrow)

My friend did my hair in a "zipper braid" (Day 4, our last day) and it came out so cool! I was going to keep it in my hair overnight so I could wear it to see Star Wars the next morning but it got too messy. So sad!
