'Tis the season for holiday dresses! There are parties on the agenda and last minute shopping dates scheduled (I'm on the hunt for the perfect record to add to my husband's collection). Every occasion seems to call for something easy yet festive to throw on as you head out the door in a flurry of excitement and tinsel. Urban Outfitters is my go-to shop to score interesting frocks and their Holiday collection, Daydreaming at Night, is full of fabulous options! This velvety For Love & Lemons option caught my eye and now holds a special place in my closet... reserved for only the most festive holiday happenings.

The Christmas holiday is four days away and I'm already #overit. Last minute gift shopping, dinner menu tweaking and insane holiday crowds everywhere we go... I can't deal. The only thing keeping me sane in the 11th hour is pinning away. This month's inspiration is moody, sassy and a little aloof. Cheers to making it through the season!

This holiday season has been a whirlwind. Think less time spending twirling in the snow and more time spent spinning in circles at the post office. It seems like the month is flying by and there's still so much let to do: gift shopping, parcel wrapping, ice skating in the park... when do you find the time?! I'm so excited to slow it down, host my parents at our home for Christmas and soak up all of the cheer.

While I take a breather and re-evaluate the true meaning of this quiet, cozy season (check in with my holiday edit for a reminder), it was a fun surprise to scroll past these photos of me by Jessica Moore on Free People's BLDG 25 blog.
