Jessica Simpson

Major Girl Crush Alert!! I have loved Jessica Simpson ever since her days as a Newlywed. I may or may not own all the seasons on DVD (guilty pleasure). We won't go into details on how I may have worn black the whole week I heard of the divorce, but I digress! I think she is just adorable and love that she is herself all the time. She is goofy and silly, and gains weight like a normal person does during pregnancy--Hallelujah!. Not to mention, she is totally gorgeous and I LOVE her style!

Her line of clothing, shoes, etc, etc, etc. are always some of my favorites of the season!! This sweater is an example of a staple piece I like to have in my closet. I love the mixing of the different yarns to form a very subtle pattern and it is literally sooo soft to the touch! I dressed it down a little here by throwing on my glasses and some comfy, stretchy jeans.

The night I wore this there was literally a snow storm going on here in the cold state of Ohio. I didn't really want to venture out because I am terrified of driving in the "s" word, but hubby agreed to drive. We had a lovely time at his mother's retirement dinner. It was held at a winery by our home that was lite up with wonderful twinkle lights on every tree. The trees were snow covered and the moonlight shown down on them making it glisten. It was such a beautiful sight!

I am truly in the Christmas spirit! It has hit me like a lighting bolt! It started with chopping down the tree this weekend and hasn't stopped. I have been decorating and shopping up a storm!! My hubs is the hardest to buy for though!!

Who has good idea's for a man who hates clothes and well-- anything else I know anything about?! haha Suggestions NEEDED!!

Hope you all have a great Wednesday!!

Chunky Sweater Comfort

There is nothing better than a night out with my girlfriends! We decided to hit up the movies and see the Hunger Games (go out right now and see it, so good!!) and then we went out and grabbed a quick glass of wine at our local wine bar! I wanted something that would be comfy to sit through a movie (and warm, because I swear they have the air-conditioning on in the dead of winter), but I wanted to look presentable enough to go out after!

I love chunky knits sweaters of all kinds. I love them in every shape, size, and colors they come in! This is one I picked up when I was in Chicago last year. It is from Anthropologie and is quickly becoming a staple in my winter wardrobe. This knit is the perfect color of dark red to throw a leopard cami on underneath! I finished it off with some leggings (refer to rules HERE ha) and some over the knee boots. Simple, yet classic look for a night with some of my besties!

The night was spent with a lot of laughing, gossip, and plans on how to make 2014 an even better year than this one! I think we all have desires to see some dreams come true this year that we have been waiting on for awhile! One thing I do know, I am very blessed with the girls in my life! They inspire me, push me, support me, and love me under all circumstances. That can be so hard to find, it makes me feel so wonderful!

I hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving!!! I sure had a good one spending time with family!

Anyone have any fantastic (and easy ha) recipes from the holidays that they can share??

I am always looking for things I can try :)

Have a wonderful Monday!!
