Tis' the Season to be Grateful

I love the holidays they are truly a magical time of year where everyone seems to act a little nicer and with a tad more compassion than the rest of the year. I am a very empathetic, positive person year round but have to say I even get a little more jolly this time of year. There's something about how cozy your home feels with all the decorations and lights too that definitely adds to the magic. 

Also this time of year is a big time to reflect on the year that's about to pass and all we have to be  grateful for. I am extremely grateful for the opportunties I get everyday to follow my true passions. I am extremely grateful I had a mother who always encouraged me to get what I want, no matter how hard I had to work to get it. I am extremely grateful to be in a relationship that's a partnership. The list could go on and on but I have to say those three things keep my sanity. 

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend! After jetting back from my mom's house in State College to work Black Friday weekend I was exhausted and took my last two days off to re-cooperate (and decorate for Christmas of course). I was able to score some amazing sweaters on sale this weekend! The Wayf tie sweater I am wearing in this post was an additional 20% off over the weekend from Nordstrom. I love this sweater cause it's not too heavy and has that extra bit of detail with the tie front! Unfortunately this sweater is sold out but shop this similar one on Nordstrom by Wayf today. I went for a neutral look with my brown suede LOFT leggings, click here to purchase, I promise they will be a staple in your winter wardrobe. Been getting some questions on the long necklace I use to layer here, my stepdad actually made it out of a stone we found on the beach in Cape May. For jewelry inquiries contact me and I will get you him and my mother's information, they do lots of handmade gemstone jewelry.
