Today I decided to revisit some of my best holiday blog posts from seasons past! We can pretend that this was my plan all along for today’s post, but you can probably guess that the reason for this round-up is just ‘cause I wasn’t able to guilt someone into taking photos for me. Happens to the best of us. Anyway, I realized that I had a lot of really fun blog posts last holiday season, so might as well share them again. Need Christmas and New Year’s Eve outfit inspiration? I got you covered. Trying to overcome feelings of sadness that sometimes accompany this time of year? There’s a post for that too! Keep scrolling for all my best holiday outfits and ideas.
A Casual (But Not Boring) NYE Outfit
New Year’s Eve is fun and all, but how many people actually have a fancy enough party to attend that requires a full sequin dress? Or am I the only one not being invited to these kinds of parties? Anyway, this post provides the perfect outfit inspo for more casual NYE soirees, as well as ideas for recreating this look. But don’t worry—I didn’t forget to include some sparkle.
This post may be two years old, but the style isn’t! If you DO happen to have a fancy event to attend this holiday season, this post gives you ideas for how to transform an old homecoming dress (or any other formal dress lurking in the back of your closet) and re-style it for the winter season.

Barbie Girl in a Barbie Ornament World
In this blog post, I share my Barbie ornament collection, which would make the perfect Christmas gift for all you fashionistas out there. These Barbie ornaments are so pretty, and their vintage outfits are just as gorgeous! Do you recognize my look? I’m supposed to be a Barbie look-a-like; I’m only missing the blonde hair.
I’ve never been one to share gift guides in the past, but this post is my one compilation of personalized gift ideas, ranging from photo albums to Fatheads to Lego picture frames. It may be too late to get most of these personalized gifts by Christmas, but if you’re like me, you know a lot of people with January birthdays! Not to mention, you can always shop the after-Christmas sales for next year’s gifts.
