December Lust List

Well Hello! 
Yes, I am aware my December Lust List is coming a bit late this month, but hey, at least it's a great list right?!?
ALSO there is still plenty of time to find these items on sale for the holiday season!! WINNING!! lol

1. J. Crew Factory Loafers - Are these not super perf for New Years?!?! Of course, most of us fashionistas will be wearing some type of flashy dress, what better occasion for it am I right? BUT if you are more of a pantsuit wearing gal, OR your New Years plans are more on the chill side, you should consider rocking these loafers! They are currently on sale ladies!!! 

2. Style Moi Sequin Dress - And this is the type of dress I'm talking about for New Years! At under $40 with free shipping this dress is a steal!! I love the gradient effect! This will definitely be a show stopper!! Go get it girlfran!!

3. Crosley Vinyl Record Player -  I just WANT this! Can you imagine listening to some Sam Smith on vinyl, with the fireplace going and some wine in hand? There are a variety of different prints and colors available at your local Urban Outfitters. Also, tons and tons of artists on vinyl too! This could be your new party staple, your romantic date night mood inducer, or just your sunday feel good mood lifter! So vintage, yet updated with a USB port! 

4. H&M Gold Sequined Trousers - Once again with the sequins! Sequins are just perfect for New Years aren't they? This pair is also great for any holiday festivities and really, any festivity you want to feel fancy for! The gold color is my favorite, but black is also classic and more versatile! 

5. Benefit Fun Sized Flirts - Benefit is one of my favorite cosmetic lines and when I saw this sample package at the Benefit counter in Macys I almost snatched them all up!! I know my sisters would love this!! And I'm pretty sure any lucky lady would love to receive this as well! Sample size packages like this are so great for the holidays because even if you aren't sure which exact makeup products your girlfriends are in to, samples sizes are perfect for testing out new products! And also great for traveling too! 

6. Something Geeky Christmas Pajamas - Who doesn't love this famous Christmas phrase?! How great would these be for basically any holiday function at home? Baking party? Movie night? Cuddle night with your special someone? Gift wrapping palooza??? The possibilities are endless! Grab you some and wear them for many holiday seasons to come! Now that's something you can invest in right? :)

What's on your December Lust List?? 
What are your favorite holiday season festivities?? 
Are you scrambling to finish your holiday shopping??

As always, thank you SO much to those of you who follow, comment, support and spread the word!! Thank you so much for going on this journey with me!!!

A Tad of Plaid

Hello Everyone! 
Well it has been a crazy week for me! So many celebrations and too much shopping!!!
I am so excited it is finally December! December is a wonderful month, of course because of the beautiful holiday, but also because it marks the end of the year and it is a time for us to reflect on all our experiences, accomplishments, and memories from the past year. 
The weather this past weekend in Chicago was so lovely! At about 50 degrees it felt like early fall! I wish our weather would linger around that temperature, but then again, I don't think sledding would be as fun if we were working up a sweat so quickly! 
Anyways, I hope you like this cozy Monday outfit! 
Welcome December!! 

Outfit Details: 

Sweater: Gap (This one looks super cozy!)

Necklace: Ebay (This one is super cute too!)

Purse: Deux Lux (I want this one !)

Leggings: Wet Seal (Similar pair here )

Shoes: Carsons (The Sperry version here )


How are you transitioning into Winter? What do you like most about December? 

Thank you everyone for sticking with me during my holiday hiatus!! Thanksgiving week was a whirlwind!! 

And as always, thank you to everyone for following, commenting, supporting and sharing!! You are everything to me!!

xoxo,
Michelle
