Me and the lovely Michaela have partnered with Apricot Lane Boutique to host a Christmas parrrrtay! And no one hates a holiday party at an adorable boutique where the entire store will be discounted & prizes will be raffled & drinks & sweets will be served… And hello – do we not look like two big balls of fun? K don’t answer that. Apricot Lane is kindly offering 20% off the entire store during our party, so whether you’re a fashion/style blogger, home/decor/DIY blogger or just a legit individual livin’ in the Bay area, come get your shop on and say hello to us! We’re real real nice and we want to meet you! But not in a creepy way, ok guys? Ok? Bueller? Bueller? Just Come! Here be the details… Some pics from a photo shoot we did with Apricot Lane back in September. Are you seeing these sweaters and jeans?…
No One Hates a Puffy Vest
Orrrrrr maybe they do. But I sure don’t! Why? I’ll tell you why. TOP 5 REASONS WHY I LOVE ME A PUFFY VEST: 1. They hide your mid-section on puffy, bloated, ‘no I’m not pregnant I just look like it’ days (which for me are 24/sev lately). 2. They are warm. And it’s December people. Durrrrrf. 3. They’re a simple and quick way to add a layer to your outfit. And layers = everything just got more interesting. 4. They are non-committal. I can whip that sucker off faster than a bad pair of flare jeans and still have a cute outfit (well, depending on what the outfit underneath is. I mean, let’s not make any guarantees here we can’t keep.). 5. And the final reason why I love me a puffy vest, and more specifically, THIS puffy vest, is because it cost me a whopping $15. Normally $42. Boo-yah…

Menswear Monday!
And here to answer that question, back by popular demand, is Mr. Scotty Christofferson! Take it away Scotty! The holiday season is the season of impressions – first impressions, good impressions, bad impressions and last impressions (if you have too many bad impressions). As a man it’s important to play it cool at the holiday parties, listen more than we speak, and look better than we normally do. For a dressy holiday party with friends it’s important to do something bold, and quite frankly, to have an opportunity to wear your beautiful cranberry jacket that you’ve only worn a few times. Show your old friends from college that you’ve still got it, because we all know you do!
