Hostess.

This year we hosted Christmas. Our house was filled with homemade smells that I just adore. It's my favorite part of hosting a dinner party.

One thing I've learned over the years is the importance of being comfortable when you are whipping up appetizers, shuttling dishes and pouring wine for your guests. I always opt for a dress in these situations. Movement is key as well as having room to grow.

I'm still in a fog from all the calories I consumed!

Vested.

Here's a little piece of trivia. Guess what time it was when these pictures were taken? I'll tell you - 4:00pm. Yep, hello winter solstice. We had to use the flash for Pete's sake!

Anyhoo, are you running around like a crazy person getting ready for the holidays? Because I can tell you I am. I've never been so unprepared for the holidays as I am this year. I am going to embrace it though with a lot of caffeine until I collapse...hopefully not at the mall.

Bell bottoms.

I love me a good bell bottom. It's hard to find the right one. I've searched for a long time and that search has ended. Meet the Henry & Belle Micro Flare. I am in full denim lust.

Did you know I am a closet hippie at heart?

Candy colored.

Writing this post makes me crave candy. It's been over a week and I'm afraid to touch the stuff since the stomach flu. Still feeling after shocks from that one. If I can't indulge on Christmas, you better feed me a LOT of wine because I will be one grumpy girl.

Sugar + Johanna = blissful marriage

Gifting Color: red

It's hard to avoid RED in the month of December...and for good reason, it looks great on everyone. PINK does, too if you're in the market.

I've scoured the interwebs for my favorite crimson picks. Let's just say there's no shortage of amazing red heels or clutches out there.

Shake it off!

It's the final count down. Let's pour a drink, shall we?

P/S I do not care at all that it's Monday morning!

Party ready with Lulu's!

There's something about the holidays that stirs up the dressier side in me. Break out the sequins...the oxblood...the beaded clutches and fancy heels! This season gives me permission to indulge my girlie tendencies and be unapologetic about it.

Today, I'm back with a special post dedicated to getting party ready with two brands I shop on the regular: Lulu's & ShopLately.

When in doubt, shift it out.

I've mentioned before that my husband is slightly more preppy or perhaps traditional than I, right? Well, he is. And that's cool. He favors the J.Crew meets Vineyard Vines kinda girl. I can be that once in awhile.

Ok, truth. I love me a good shift dress and vibrant colors. When I saw this paisley print dress, I knew it was coming home with me. And it did. I am a woman of my word.

"That's so clutch" - 5 holiday clutches for your repertoire.

So. I realize I talk about handbags and shoes quite a bit. As exhibited here. It's my vice so bear with me. (most are dream wish lists and what's a blog if not an escape, right people?!) Anyway...back to the situation at hand.

I'm sure you are in the throws of holiday parties like me. Today, for example, I have meetings in the city which means I carry my work tote all day. When the clock strikes 5 o'clock I have to gracefully pull a switch-a-roo into party attire and look flawless while doing it. Not an easy feat.
