The countdown till Christmas and New Year’s has begun!  With less than a week away, I’m rushing to finish my shopping.  Let’s just say I’m the eternal procrastinator of the family.  Good thing that most stores are still offering free shipping just in time for Christmas.  Still trying to find a gift for the guy in your life?  Check out my guy gift guide.  (Other guides include the chef, the jetsetter, the kiddos, for mom, the beauty product lover, for the home, and my favorite the luxe lover.)

Even though I’m constantly working on my gift list and checking it twice, I’m enjoying some fun evenings with friends.  Here’s what I wore recently for a night out — an outfit perfect for the holiday season all the way through New Year’s…

(This fuzzy sweater and fur charm are both under $45!  Plus the skirt is under $80.)

This outfit would be perfect for the holiday — or really any day!  I love how this skirt looks like a luxury piece but without the luxe price tag.  I could see it with a leather jacket or a strappy tank.  Really you can wear it so many ways.  I’ve never been into shiny lamé type pieces, but this skirt has changed my mind.  Shine on, ladies!

Thank you to Vince Camuto for this little surprise.  I’m having so much fun styling it!  XO
