Candy Cane Inspiried

Top: Charming Charlie's (similar) // Pants: Forever 21 // Shoes: Target // Watch: Michael Kors // Purse: Kate Spade // Necklace: Red Dress Boutique
Merry Christmas everyone! 
Christmas is finally here and I'm so excited to spend the day with my family and stuffing my face with delicious Christmas cookies!
In the spirit of Christmas, I am sharing an outfit that is candy caned inspired. I managed to find this beautiful white ruffle top from Charming Charlie's during their Black Friday sale for $10! That was actually the first time I had ever shopped at Charming Charlie's and I was actually quite surprised. The store was so girly and cute and definitely somewhere I can see myself going back to. I paired the top off with some maroon skinnies and a statement necklace for a fun and holiday look.
Today is the last day of blogmas and it really has gone by so fast! This has been so much fun posting all of these posts for you all and hopefully this can be a yearly tradition. I may continue to post everyday during the weekdays until the end of December just because I have so much to share with you all with my Cancun trip, New years eve, etc! Plus, with it being winter break I have plenty of time to write some posts for you all! I hope you all enjoyed blogmas and I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!

Getting into the Christmas Spirit..

Merry Christmas Eve everyone! 
I cannot believe Christmas is tomorrow! With the weather being 60-70 degrees lately (which I am not complaining at all) and I have been in Cancun for the past few days it sure hasn't been feeling like Christmas time is here. With Christmas eve being tomorrow and the Christmas spirit seems to be lacking a little bit here lately, I am here to share with you all some of my favorite ways to get into the Christmas spirit! 

1. Go look at Christmas lights I love Christmas lights! There’s something about them that always makes me in awe every time I look at them. Grab a couple of your friends, pile into a car and drive around your neighborhood and look at some Christmas lights. You can get into the Christmas spirit and enjoy some time catching up with friends at the same time!
2. Bake Christmas cookies Gingerbread has to be my favorite cookies so when Christmas time rolls around you know I am stuffing my face with gingerbread cookies. Look up your favorite Christmas cookie recipe and bake some cookies for your love ones, but don’t forget to bake some for Santa too! 
3. Give back During the holiday season it is easy to get wrapped up in trying to find the perfect gift for someone or trying to decide what you want for Christmas this year, but we also need to remember about those who are less fortune than us. The holiday time is a great time to go give back to the community whether it be helping out at a local shelter or donating some toys for a toy drive. A little act of kindness can go a long way!

4. Spend time with family Going to college four hours away from home makes it hard for me to see my family as often as I like, so when I do get to go home for the holidays I like to spend as much time with them as I can. The holidays isn’t about gifts and pretty decorations, it’s about spending time with the people you love and creating wonderful memories. Pour some hot chocolate and spend some time with you love ones catching up or reminiscing on your favorite memories.
5. Build a gingerbread house I had mentioned that I love gingerbread cookies so naturally I love building gingerbread houses as well! This is such a fun and creative activity you can do with your friends during the holidays! Put on some Christmas music and have a gingerbread house building party and I’m sure you’ll be in the Christmas spirit in no time!
Those are some of my ideas on getting into the Christmas spirit this year. I hope this post helped you get into the spirit of Christmas and get you excited for tomorrow! Let me know down below how you get into the Christmas sprit and I hope you all have a great Christmas eve!

xoxo Amy

Winter Bucket List

Happy first day of winter everyone! I cannot believe that it is winter already, this year has been flying by! A couple months ago I had shared my fall bucket list with you all (which I am happy to report I finished all but 3) and I thought it would be fun to create a winter one this year. I really am enjoying these mini bucket lists, they're so fun and perfect thing to go to when you're trying to figure out something to do with your friends!

Hopefully we'll get some snow this year so I can finally go sledding! I have never gone sledding before so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this winter will be my year. What's on your bucket list this winter? Let me know in the comments down below!

Sequins and Stripes

Top: J.Crew Factory // Pants: Target // Purse: Kate Spade // Shoes: Target

Hello everyone!

Before I begin the post I want to share some exciting news! While you are reading this I am currently in Cancun, Mexico! I have never been to Cancun before and am so excited to spend some time with my family and relax after finals! 

Now on to my outfit... If you know me then you know I love anything that has glitter, sparkles or sequins so naturally when I saw this sequined top on J.Crew Factory's website I knew I had to have it! This top has the right amount of sparkle without being too obnoxious. I kept things fairly simple by pairing the top with some black skinnies and nude flats. I also think this top would look great with a black skirt and some black heels for a holiday party! 

I hope you all are have a wonderful day and be sure to come back tomorrow for Blogmas day 22! (It has gone by so fast!!)
