Holiday Outfit
The holiday season is finally in full swing, which means lots of shopping, gift wrapping, baking cookies & running errands around town. If you're like me, you want to be comfortable but still look stylish while getting those to-do items checked off your list. And nothing beats a fun & festive knit this time of year! I bought an ivory fair-isle sweater from Old Navy last December and nearly wore it out...so I was thrilled to see that they brought them back again & gave them a modern twist. Today I'm sharing two ways to wear these cozy sweaters while you're out & about this winter. I focused on casual pieces that you can wear any day of the week, but they would also be easy to dress up with tailored trousers (for work) or a sequin skirt (for parties).

Well red
I recently received an email from a reader requesting for me to feature more casual outfits. Ironically, I feel like I've shown almost too many sweater + denim looks lately and was afraid I'd been alienating those of you who work in an office & have to dress up each day. I always want this blog to be a careful balance of things I actually wear in real life & more polished office-ready ideas that help you utilize what you have in your closet. But reader feedback is the ultimate gauge for me & I definitely want to tailor the content here on PPF so it's appealing to the masses. That being said, I'd like to hear from all of you in the comments below - would you like to see more work appropriate ensembles or is it more helpful if I feature off-duty weekend looks like this one? (P.S. This outfit would be even cuter with sneakers - I just couldn't bear the cold ankles!)

Grey Wrap Cardigan
This is without a doubt the most unique top I own!
I absolutely love how original it is. It’s a cute wrap top in front, and a long maxi cardigan in the back. I put this together on a chilly day, but I can see it being just as fun to style with a v-neck under and some flats for a more casual look. ALSO it is on sale on Groupdealz right now for half off, so it’s pretty much a no-brainer!
Is the week getting away from anyone else?! Already Wednesday, WHAT?! I have a to-do list a mile long, and yet I am SO tired all the time and lack all motivation to-do the to-do list! Does this happen to anyone else? Maybe it’s the weather, it’s finally getting really cold? Or maybe I need some extra sleep? I can’t figure it out. If anyone knows any remedies I am all ears, this homegirl has work to do!

That's A Wrap
Although I tend to favor structured blazers & tailored jackets pretty much year-round, there's something so cozy about oversized-style coats for fall that make you feel like you're wrapped up in your favorite blanket. The big open collar & faux leather sleeves give this one a modern feel that's perfect for pairing with classic pieces like a crisp button-down, skinny jeans & cognac booties (which are deceivingly comfortable).

And, while you're at it, you should follow her blog for some delicious recipes, vent sessions about real life + great outfit ideas. She is one of the most amazing women I know - extremely talented yet totally humble, a fighter & survivor despite devastating loss and a sincere & supportive friend who I'm so grateful to have in my life. (I'm a big believer in women cheering on other women, which is why I couldn't resist bragging on her just a little!)

Snowflake on nude nails
Now that the stockings are hung and the shopping is complete (hopefully), it’s time to start thinking about how to adorn your nails this holiday season. From Christmas trees and to snowflakes to glitter-covered nails and gems, the nail art ideas are endless.

Love it to show colors
After falling in love with my Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette and I had been seriously eying the Naked and Naked2 palettes. I will admit it, $50 for a palette is spendy, but it is pretty worth it! The colors last forever! I seriously have barely dipped into any of the colors and I use either my Naked or Naked Basics palette every day. They are super pigmented and a little goes a very long way. If you don’t believe me, stop by Sephora sometime and give it a try, you’ll see!
All that being said, I am not a makeup artist. I’m a busy mom that tries her hardest not to look tired and frumpy all day. As soon as I brought home my new palette, you better believe I was all up on the Pinterest looking for tutorials to make the most of my new found wealth of high end eye shadows. Here are a few of my favorites!
So many of the tutorials you see for the Naked palette are really, really made up, fabulous smokey eyes. I love a good smokey eye, but smokey eye at work, or school or the park might look a little over done. I love this tutorial for simple, everyday glam using pretty golds.
If you are going for a great night time made up look, this is super pretty and fairly simple. I love YouTube video tutorials because you really get to watch the process step-by-step.
