White And Golden

Tis the season for glam! It's perfect that we have a few more holiday parties scheduled because I've been looking for every excuse in the book to pull out this skirt again. Pleated midi skirts are probably my favourite kind of skirt...ever! They are so comfortable and look so done-up, and this season, the colour options are endless. Not to mention the high waist is perfect for every body type! I scored this one last year at Zara after the holidays and it has the perfect touch of glam for the season with it's the combination of gold, silver, and tinsel blue. But, there are so many others ways to hone in on the glam. Here are a few ways I love to do it:

The Experience Gift Guide

Is it just me or do you always want to give the best gift?! Something that totally wows and makes your recipient smile from ear to ear? I always try and think of gifts that will last. I love focusing on less material type gifts and more experience based. The possibilities are endless! Because it really is so exciting to have something to look forward to after the holidays! I'm rounding up some fabulous experience type gifts that you should consider this holiday season. It's also great because most of them can be ordered online and printed out. Then you can get creative and wrap them up all fancy. Just don't put a gift card in a huge box... so over that one!

Easy & Effortless Holiday Entertaining + GIVEAWAY

Holiday hosting... it really is one of my favourite things to do. This year I found myself straying away from the endless planning and all the little details. I love it but it gets so exhausting sometimes. Especially when the days just seem to sneak up on you. You end up running yourself ragged before the event has even started. I didn't want to let that happen this year for my annual girls Christmas party. I wanted to focus on the minimal, and let the conversation, feelings and true meaning of the night speak for itself.

Holiday hosting doesn't have to be intimidating. This year I wanted to show how I cut the frills and fancy and focused on the simple and easy, while not comprising on style and taste! Just a few steps and you can do the same. In turn, you'll have tons more time for your loved ones and enjoy the moments leading up the get-together.

Here's how I made the night hosting easy and effortless in 4 steps:
