Just wanted to share a few ideas for your best friend today – right now is a great time to take advantage of deals and treat your girlfriends! Also, the best part is all of these gifts are under $50, except for the Naked 3 palette, which is $54. So all affordable options, especially since most are $25 and under! I always like to treat my best girlfriends and surprise them this time of year, especially considering most of them live far away. I’ve been purchasing a lot through Amazon, since I have free 2-day shipping with Amazon prime. Definitely get my money’s worth of the Prime membership this time of year!

Hope you have a wonderful Friday, and an amazing weekend!

Cozy Vionic Slippers in Red Plaid

Ah – it certainly is the best time of the year, isn’t it?! There is something magical about being able to sit inside and watch the snow fall out the window, cuddled up in a pile of blankets, sipping on hot chocolate while admiring the twinkling lights of the Christmas tree. And what’s better than finding festive holiday pajamas that are equal parts comfy and cute. I found my ideal pair of holiday pajamas this year at Kohl’s during a Black Friday excursion with my boyfriend. Which, of course, just happen to go perfectly with my new red plaid slippers from Vionic Shoes.

These Vionic slippers have Orthoheel technology, which pretty much means they are beyond comfortable and provide proper support. Just as awesome as my Vionic booties I posted about earlier this fall, these slippers are going to be worn around my apartment all winter long (and perhaps a few times to take the dog outside). Speaking of my dog, how miserable does she look in her Santa Claus costume? Yeah, she absolutely hates costumes, but I figured if she was going to come into our photo session, she should at least be festive like me! Don’t worry, she is rewarded with plenty of play time and treats afterwards, and as you can see, we didn’t even velcro the costume shut – because she really hates that!

Anyway, here’s what a typical weekend night looks like for us during the winter, and they are my absolute favorite! Have you found the perfect pair of cozy pajamas and slippers for the holidays?! Stay cuddly my friends!

What to Wear for the Holidays

Embellished Dress for Holiday Party Style

It’s officially the holiday season, and I’m ramping up by planning out as many dressy outfits that I can for all the upcoming holiday parties! I recently picked up this Jessica Simpson dress from Marshall’s and this waist-tie Jessica Simpson coat, and knew exactly what pair of heels I wanted to wear with this holiday party outfit. The only problem was that I ordered these white scalloped-edge heels a size bigger than normal based on the reviews I read about the fit. Turns out I’m horrible at trying things on before the cut off date to return or exchange something. Turns out I didn’t need a size bigger in this pair of heels. Turns out I was pretty upset thinking that I would have to pay for another pair if I wanted to ever wear them. But never fear, Sizers are here!

What are Sizers you ask? Sizers are what turned my one-size-too-big heels into the perfect fit. They are small foam inserts that you place in the front of your heel.  Are they comfortable you ask? Because they are foam, they form to your feet, so they are super comfortable to wear! You will notice them at first, but after a few steps you won’t even know they are there. They are perfect for closed-toe heels and flats, and can be reworn over and over.

I used the orange 1 Sizers for this pair of heels, but they also have 1/2 Sizers (the purple ones) and 1/4 Sizers (the pink ones) – giving you options to make your closed-toe shoes fit perfectly. Instead of getting rid of your favorite pairs of shoes because they are too big or roomy, you now have a solution. Check out Sizers for yourself, they are super affordable and  will make perfect stocking stuffers! All the shoe-hoardingloving women in your life will thank you!
