5 Fun, Festive Party Outfits

A matchy-matchy silk set (paired with structured accessories to keep it from looking like pajamas). A fabulous mini dress, tights, and heels.

Whether you treat yourself to a new party dress or accessory, or shop your closet and put things together you already own in a new way, it’s about having FUN. Because otherwise, what’s the point?

Plus the usual recipes, shopping finds, home tours, and more

Fall Favorites Under $200
Great style does not have to mean spending tons of money, which is why it’s so important to me to highlight shopping finds in a range of price points. One thing you may not know is that I have a “great style under $200” section on my ShopMy page that I update multiple times a week, if not every day! It’s packed with fantastic finds at accessible prices. Right now, a few personal highlights are
