SEQUINS, VELVET & BOWS, OH MY!

Sharing some Holiday outfit inspiration for you even if there are not parties and Christmas shindigs to be had. You can still snazzy up a bit and feel good. Especially when it involves sequins, velvet and bows!!

SEQUINS

I have always been a sucker for sequins but I don’t own very many and it’s safe to say that aren’t a whole lot of sequin occasions around here, especially this year. But when I saw this little puff sleeve number from the Mint Julep Boutique, I knew that was the only sequin piece I needed. It could be paired with jeans, black, even a pretty skirt. It’s not too heavy and just the right amount of rose gold bling. I love this one too!

I found these darling Rose Gold Heels from Lulus online and they went with the top perfectly and at such a good price point. This is a great way to feel jazzed up a little bit, even at home! Maybe I’ll wear this to the cocktail party I’m having next year that I mentioned to y’all, LOL!

VEVELET

Va Va Va velvet. A velvet classic blazer is a timeless piece that can be dressed up or down. And when there’s beautiful signature embroidery on one from Caite and Kyla, well, the entire velvet game is elevated so beautifully.

I thought it looked so cute just without anything underneath and a cool cross statement necklace, my champagne pleated skirt and some Booties! It’s going to look great with jeans as well!

BOWS

And who can resist bows! This outfit was already festive enough but the Bow Heels in rich suede just took it up a notch. I got this Lauren Conrad Sweater from Kohl’s because I had a picture scenario in my mind standing under the mistletoe with Mr. Nine. Well, I cannot find my darn mistletoe so instead Mr. Nine just took a few snapshots for me and kissed me before hand, LOL!

I got this Red Pleated Skirt last year from Amazon, it’s available in so many different colors, I love the way it flows, it’s lined and extremely good quality, a piece that I will keep in my closet and pull out every Christmas season!

Well, caught my hair on fire yesterday lighting a candle! Yes! I’m serious! I even heard it whoosh! But I got out the char and the stink and lesson learned, lol. This is one of my favorite days of the year! You’ll read why below so let’s get right to the fun Friday Favorites!!

1. Birthday Boy!

Oh, how I love this birthday boy. He makes us proud every day. What a man he has become. Today is the day! So much fun to have a birthday on Friday. We celebrated last night with his favorite meal and seeing Christmas lights. And tonight, his sweet lady will take him to a heated igloo for a great meal. He’s compassionate, helpful, polite, smart, skilled, grounded and oh so handsome!

He has ALWAYS been ADORABLE!!

2. Are You Serious Mr. Nine?

I was soooo excited to wear these matching tees from a favorite Etsy Shop with my man! If you’ve seen Christmas Vacation, you know!!! Sunday, I shared on Instagram and my caption was:

"Are you serious Mrs. Nine? Why, yes, I am Mr. Nine! We’re going to wear matching T-Shirts and drink eggnog out of moose cups like
Christmas Vacation!"
Get your Moose Mugs today!!!

3. Week's Attire

If you saw my walk and talk on Instagram from last weekend that you know that when I put this outfit on Mr. Nine said he liked it but he also said I looked thug-gy, totally cracked me up so I had to share it.

The minute I received these darling Gemma Boots from Cecelia New York, I knew I wanted to do something festive and casual with them. The styling possibilities are endless but I just felt like this long Hunter Green Tunic from the Mint Julep Boutique with its plaid patches and trim on the collar was perfect! And literally the perfect Friday casual Christmas season outfit!

WILD DAYS AHEAD

The minute I saw this sweater and skirt I think hollered out a yeehaw! I mean, it literally is the perfect Fall outfit!

A slouchy cream sweater and snakeskin print tiered skirt is my kind of cuteness. The name of the skirt is "Wild Days Ahead," how FUN!!

The Mint Julep Boutique is always my go to for cute, boho and on trend inspired looks. You cannot go wrong with either of these pieces.

I’m ready thinking of all the shoes and boot pairing possibilities and I’m excited to wear this sweater with jeans too.

DRESSED IN YELLOW

What will you do to make the world brighter today? I’m thinking wear yellow, complement everyone you encounter and smile even if it is behind a mask and no one can see it. Trust me, your positivity will be exuded onto the world!

This off the shoulder yellow top from the mint julep boutique made me smile the minute I opened the package! The print is this fun rickrack pattern in beautiful colors. I knew I would want to pair with white jeans for a fresh summer look at some lace up espadrilles!

You know I’m crazy about Shop the Mint and have gotten several pieces from them this summer. If you text the word “MINT” to the number 90243, you get 15% off of your entire order! Whoohoo!

And can I just say, the six of us ladies that cohost this STYLE SIX are ever so grateful for all of you readers and lovely fashionistas who link-up for us week after week! We want to grow this party so promote it however you can and tell your blogging and Instagram friends!

FRIDAY FAVORITES...JANUARY BLUES BE GONE

I’m extra happy to see Friday because that means we’re getting through this longest month of the year faster. With all the boys back at school, life feels somewhat more subdued, but I miss them so much and I’m in that after holiday slump. We cannot let these January blues get us down, so let’s get right to some Friday Favorites.

1. My Boys

Not only are the holidays magical but they’re so joyous when I can have all my boys at home and really enjoy the time together. We taught them how to play rummy, had movie days, fun dinners out and lots of family time. It was great!

2. No Carb Snack
"Homemade Cheez-Its"

Easiest no carb snack in the world! Get the ultra thin cheese slices, any flavor, I used Colby Jack, cut them into fours and place them on parchment paper lined baking sheet. I add a little coarse sea salt on top. Bake in a 250° oven for 25 to 30 minutes and wa-la, you have homemade cheez it’s crackers with no carbs!

3. Week's Attire

Top HERE // Jeans HERE & HERE //
Boots HERE & HERE

I shared this outfit on Instagram earlier this week, but I had to share it here, the leopard colors of the sweater are just so divine, and a perfect winter pick me up. And Mint Julep boutique, where the sweater is from, is offering $10 off your order. See below.

(BONUS: For $10 off your order from Mint Julep Boutique..Text the word MINT to 90243)

4. Blue and Black

If January gives you the blues, just wear a bright blue color to lift your spirits! I totally love the bright royal blue. I feel it flatters every skin tone. In the summer, I like to pair it with white, but I thought it would be fun to pair it with black in the winter. I’ve seen lots of black and blue outfits and I love them. I also love adding a little leopard.

QUEST BARS
So, I am not a big bar girl. I feel like they are loaded with junk and empty calories even though they are supposed to be healthy. However, there are a few out there that I like when I need a protein pick me up And I don’t want to feel too guilty for indulging. My niece and I got to talking about protein bars and she recommended this chocolate sprinkle doughnut one. She said to heat it up in the microwave a tiny bit and it will be like dessert. It was super yummy, and I will be stocking up on these. I also tried a Pure Protein Chocolate Salted Caramel that Lisa recommended and think I may even like that one better.
