Fashion + Philanthropy: FEED + Tory Burch

I typically do not enjoy winter after December 25th, but I do love winter coats and boots! I recently wore a favorite coat and Italian leather boots that had been hiding in my closet, and a TopShop hat that is a perfect staple for fall/winter.  I also rocked my new Tory Burch + FEED bag that I received through the FEED Rep Program I am a part of; thanks again to FEED, I absolutely LOVE it!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! This year's Christmas was wonderful - there is nothing better than being home with the family with good food, good wine, and watching my dog Kramer get so excited for Christmas morning! (Yes, he knows what Christmas is).  Christmas is great as a kid, but somehow I love it even more now that I'm older; I don't get to see my family as often as I'd like so Christmas means getting to spend so much time with them and for that I am so grateful.  Here is a recap of my Christmas holiday this year: 

celebrated Christmas with the boy at The Rossi {FAVORITE pizza in Columbus!}

Black + White

I love wearing black and white together.  It's a color combination as old as time, but somehow is never cliche.  I love wearing this combo, especially during the holiday season when it feels especially festive.  I recently wore an all black ensemble with a white blazer while going out to dinner with the family during the holiday season, and I added bright red lipstick for a festive touch.  What are some of your favorite styles to wear during the holiday season?

Robindira Unsworth black onyx earrings

LC Lauren Conrad blazer, BCBG Max Azria dress, Gustto clutch, black tights from TJ Maxx, Guess heels

Merry Christmas Eve!

Fashion + Philanthropy: FEED Holiday Party

For my December "FEEDraiser",  I decided to have a little holiday get together with friends while collecting donated food items for people in need!  I had a wonderful group of girls over for appetizers, wine, and champagne, and they all brought over canned goods that I will be donated to the Mid-Ohio Food Bank.  It was so nice to catch up with good friends, listen to Christmas music all night, and do it all in honor of FEED! Here are some photos from the evening: 

Thank you again, ladies! It was a great night and you all helped so many people suffering from hunger in the central Ohio area.  Also, thank you to the beautiful toddler Kennedy, who was our acrobat and entertainer for the evening! 

Merry Christmas!

Winter Gray

As much as I love accessories like jewelry and handbags, I'd have to say that jackets and coats are probably my greatest weakness in regards to apparel.  I probably haven't NEEDED a new coat or jacket in years, but that is one of my favorite clothing items to buy.  I purchased a gray winter coat about a year ago, and it is arguably the best winter coat I own; it's longer than any coat I have, is so warm during the winter, and is still chic even when I am wearing 6 layers underneath it.  I wore it recently for a Christmas shopping outing and paired it with black and gray accessories.  As much as I love a new coat, it's probably a good thing that I cannot buy myself a new one for a while! {Less than 5 months until I can shop again!}

OPI's "Manicurist of Seville" + some of my Mom's awesome MacKenzie-Childs pieces 

Banana Republic coat, Paige jeans, Migliorini Italian leather boots, Foley + Corinna Mid City tote, RayBan aviators, my Mom's Burberry scarf {she kindly let me borrow it for the day!}
