Host/Hostess Gifts for Holiday Dinner Parties

I hope everyone is having a good day!

Holiday season is just right around the corner, meaning good food and plenty of laughs with friends. It's also the time of year when we get invited to special gatherings, family dinners, and festive functions.

I feel that it is common courtesy to bring a gift to any dinner party you may be invited too, but finding the perfect gift can sometimes be confusing. I have complied a list of unique and functional gifts for inspiration that will hopefully be of help while finding something for your host/hostess.

Wine is always a great way to start, its wide selection will enable you to stay within a budget, while making it seem like a good gesture. If wine is not your thing, a great idea is champagne or if you want to be a little more fancy, play it up with some rose.

Flowers are also great! They always bring an element of happiness. I love hydrangeas, or seasonal flowers would work perfectly. Stay away from carnations or generic flowers though, they can seem tacky. Basil plants are also nice, and well appreciated.

Another great gift are candles, I love ones from Jo Malone and Bijou. Yankee candle is always a nice go-to.

Chocolates, who doesn't love them? Compartes is a chocolatier based in LA and has a great selection of flavours. Has anyone ever heard of Cactus flavoured chocolate? Well your host/hostess probably hasn't either; thus, it's a great and fun thing to try!

I hope you have gotten some inspiration!

It's Golden: Style Inspiration for Holiday Parties

Hello everyone! I hope all is well, today's style inspiration comes from gold holiday tones! Holiday season is right around the corner, meaning that we are all making plans for fun festive activities!

If you got invited to a holiday party, you've come to the right blog post. I have lots of clothes, but I am always finding that I have the most trouble finding the perfect outfit for events.

Special events are great places to play-up your style. I have always been a fan of dressing up basic pieces and black leather pants are always a go-to and a good start. Not only are they stylish, edgy and chic, they can be dress up or down.

When paired with basic neutral colours statement blazers are perfect for a bold look. It's the holiday season, and a great excuse to play with bright jewelled tones and sparkles.

Black and gold pairs amazingly with almost any colour. I usually go for reds, because red is such a holiday colour. This time, I opted for a navy blue. Blue, because it is different and unexpected, but also works.

I hope I inspired you to jump out of the box this holiday season!

Artillery Green

Hello! Happy Thursday everyone! It has been cold lately and I miss wearing dresses. Today was a slightly nicer day and without any hesitation I decided  to pull out a dress. This army green colour is great for fall, it plays with a fall hue and to add a subtle edge (making it less traditional), I added a leopard print belt.

Making Casual Chic

Happy Monday, I hope all is well. Today is a 'chill' day, but I still tried to dress up some basics to elevate my outfit. 

I'm currently loving the knee-high rent right now; however, I have not yet been willing to splurge on a pair myself. I'm obsessed with these gorgeous pair of Stuart Weitzman ones, but they are quite pricey. 

I pair knee-high socks with my books to create that over the knee effect.

Pairing Midi Skirts (for petites)

Happy Saturday everyone and I hope all is well! Today, lets talk about midi skirts.

I have been loving the midi skirt trend since the beginning of this year. I think it is so feminine, classy and gives off some great retro vibes! However, sometimes they can be a little hard to pull off.

For me, as a petite girl, its hard to find a midi skirt that actually flatters my height. Sometimes these skirts can overwhelm my figure and actually make me look shorter, that is why it is important for me to find one that hits just right above the knee.

A crop top paired with a midi skirt adds an element of interest, that makes these skirts less conservative.

I think midi skirts are great because you can dress them up for a night out by adding a pair of strappy heels or dress them down for a casual everyday outfit by pairing them with flats.

For the fall, I would pair more flared midi skirts with a cropped jacket. For less flared skirts a long knee-length coat is great!

Jumpsuits are so sleek and gorgeous for the colder months, and can make for such an easy, effortless look. Blue tones and leopard prints always pair great together!

This is a perfect look for a date night out with friends or the significant other.
