happy weekend! Last night I had a slumber party at my apartment with my friend Deirdre and my favorite 6 year old (her daughter Daphne!) It was so much fun! The rest of the weekend is pretty busy. Shooting a few holiday DIY projects today and fiiiinally getting my nails done (they’re in such a sorry state!), dinner with my boyfriend tonight, a holiday party with him tomorrow afternoon, and going for holiday drinks + appetizers at The Campbell in Grand Central tomorrow night (I’m really looking forward to this, it sounds so festive!) Whatever you’re up to, I hope it’s great and that you stay WARM! Here are this week’s links – so many fun things!

Simple, chic Chelsea boots at a great price.
This got posted to the private Facebook group and I wanted to share it here – Overbooked vs. Overlooked. A lot of popular destinations are just. too. crowded. This article provides similar off the beaten path destinations in need of more (not less!) tourists.
Another good Free People sweater that I probably need in every color.
So I’m not even really big into the royals but Kate + Will’s holiday card is pretty darling!

Adore this bodysuit – the fabric is so chic!

Loving all of these sequin things. So much good stuff, how cool is this pink dress!?
How to apply perfume like a french girl.
Love the colors of this snuggly faux fur coat!
Some practical but still awesome gifts.

Looooove the sleeves on this chic silk top.
Mmmm this short rib stew sounds so good!
You know I love a good clear resin earring and these are perfection!

Oh my god, that’s amazing! ha!
Great list! Your weekend sounds so much busier than mine! Last weekend was like that for me, though, and next weekend will be even busier (plus holiday parties at work last week) so I wanted to just chill this weekend and that’s exactly what I have been doing!
Oh wow that sounds hectic!!! Glad you could chill out! xo
