As a little girl, I always loved seeing my mom in something sparkly and my dad in a suit (I would totally scan the exact picture that pops up in my head, but that photo album is back in Ohio). I remember them being all dressed up for their round of Christmas parties and thinking I couldn't wait to grow-up so I could do just the same! Tonight James and I have our first Christmas party and I am excited (really excited!) to get all fancy and celebrate the holiday season with some friends!

If you haven't gathered, I love Polyvore (and just recently realized I can post directly from their site, genius). I am actually wearing the Zara dress and bib necklace tonight! I love the little bit of edge it brings with the leather sleeves. I'm sure I'll be posting pictures throughout the night on Instagram!

Any holiday celebrations this weekend? If so, what are you* wearing? Happy Friday!

love&hugs,

Ashley

christmas traditions: movies

Again this Christmas, we'll be staying in San Francisco to celebrate the holiday. It has been fun to create our own traditions. One traditions I've always done with  my family is watch Christmas movies and has quickly become one of my fave to continue.  Nothing beats snuggling up and having a movie marathon (yummy eggnog included). 

I may be a bit biased to a few of these. Do you have a fave Christmas movie? Or holiday tradition?

love&hugs,
