Happy Monday!




Did you have a good weekend? Did you knock out some holiday shopping? (Speaking of, be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom of this post for a roundup of my favorite sales–including a MAJOR 50% J.Crew Surprise Sale!)

I, for one, had an awesome weekend! One of my best friends, Ally, got engaged! I was hiding around the corner at Water Tower under all the pretty lights snapping photos and got to watch the entire thing! It was magical 🙂 SO happy for her and her new fiancee, Kevin! (Love you two!) Then we celebrated afterwords until 3am and I’m STILL recovering from that one. 

Also here are some sneak peaks of the photos I snapped because I can’t contain my excitement. Al, don’t kill me!!

ANYWAY. Today I’m sharing what is one of my favorite outfits and a combination I’ve been wearing weekly! It’s the perfect casual holiday outfit, and works great for traveling as well (along with the cutest plaid weekender bag!) 

The real star of this show is obviously this plaid blanket scarf! My friend, Kelsey just opened her own online shop, which has some great winter staples and is super budget-friendly–this scarf is just $28! So be sure to go check it out. I love throwing it on at the last minute to make any outfit more festive. (Also, the red plaid is a killer combination with stripes, don’t you think?) 

Now, I’m off to get organized for a super productive week. I head home to Oregon on the 16th, so trying to get as many shoots in, and wrap up as many loose ends as possible before then! 

Do you have any feedback on what other holiday content you’d like to see? If so, comment below!
