"I don't want a lot for Christmas There is just one thing I need I don't care about the presents Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own More than you could ever know Make my wish come true All I want for Christmas is you..."
All I Want For Christmas is You - Mariah Carey

Tis the season, and what's a holiday playlist without Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas is You"?... While I'm all about the classic, this album is golden, and the ultimate party mix! Pair this festive tune to a little red dress and it's perfect combination for dancing, toasting, and even kissing under the mistletoe!

While simple, this tartan dress from Vineyard Vines makes a bold statement, so personally, I recommend keeping accessories light, though you're welcome to go big on the shoes ;)

I'm not one to wear red often, but evidence proves it's flirty little numbers like these that serve as my go-tos during the holiday season (last year here). Wether partying with your girls or meeting the boyfriends parents, this is a charming combination of classic meets mdoern that's sure to impress.

What can I say? In December I bank on Christmas music, sequins, and festive red dresses!

Hope you had fun this week and found a little bit of holiday inspo along the way. Wishing you and yours a very happy holiday season!

"Chestnuts roasting on an open fireJack Frost nipping at your noseYuletide carols being sung by a choirAnd folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoeHelp to make the season brightTiny tots with their eyes all aglowWill find it hard to sleep tonight..."
Nat King Cole - The Christmas Song

This holiday season looks a little different, and I mean that quite literally. Don't get me wrong, I'm loving the  crunchy leaves and 70 degree days in December– that's both awesome and ridiculous. However, this is my first holiday season without snow and that's a big deal.

Growing up in Alaska, I only had one birthday without snow, and my birthday comes before Thanksgiving. To me the holidays are a cozy season by the fire with a warm drink. Christmas music is always in the background (more about that here) and the Christmas tree is always lit. Big sweaters, leggings, and boots are essentials, and fuzzy beanies feel like a December hug. It's the little things like these that make this time of year my favorite.

The hubs and I will be headed home for the holidays in just a week, and I can't tell you how excited I am to replace this backdrop with mountaintops and snow. Follow on Instagram, and I'll show you what I mean ;)

I'd love to hear how you spend your holidays! Use hashtag #HowDoYouHoliday...

xoxo

... It's beginning to look a lot like ChristmasEverywhere you goThere's a tree in the Grand HotelOne in the park as wellThe sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow
It's beginning to look a lot like ChristmasSoon the bells will startAnd the thing that will make them ringIs the Carol that you singRight within your heart...
- It's Begining to Look a Lot Like Christmas, Michael Buble

Happy Monday! And what Monday couldn't be brightened by some holiday cheer?...

Music is a huge part of my life, but come December it's all-encompassing. In this family the Christmas celebrations begin the morning after Thanksgiving– no excuses! In fact, that morning typically begins with a desperate search for the local Christmas station, after which you can bet I'll be draging my husband's butt to the tree lot for the biggest set of branches we can squeeze through our front door. This girl LOVES December!

This week on Glitterary I've teamed up with Vineyard Vines to share a little bit about how I holiday, including three holiday looks tied to some of my favorite Christmas songs! Trust me, excited doesn't even begin to descibe how I feel about this combination! Vineyard Vines' holiday line is reliably a beautiful blend of classic and modern, so the styling project was a piece of cake! One quick tip: make sure to check out the men's shop. Being slightly taller, I've always loved the loose fit of their menswear & the torso and sleeve lengths are perfect!..

I'd love to hear what your family traditions are and how you like to holiday!

Stay tuned for more... xo

Let's be honest, this is not my typical outdoor wear, but the amount of nature around here is breathtaking! Also, purchased this sweater in a "Large" for that really oversized feel and love how it drapes.

Best of Black Friday / Cyber Monday

CYBERMONDAY

While I love a good deal, I've only ever experienced a Black Friday once, and it was purely out of curiosity. I think I picked up some paper-towels and a couple Blurays– I don't even think I had a wish list in mind...

Truth is, I've never been one for the traffic, crowds, or lines, and I'd much rather spend my post-turnkey Friday in pj's on the couch. Luckily, it's this very laziness that has turned me into something of an online pro, and this year I've got the best of Black Friday right at your fingertips. 

Shop from the couch with some leftovers, or bundle up in bed while watching ELF. Whatever your style, get comfy, and click away! As for me, I'll be online like a Black Friday ninja just as soon as I finish this last piece of pie... ;)

Happy Shopping!
