Wondering what to wear for holiday photos? You’ve come to the right place! A few years ago we started the tradition of taking photos for our holiday cards. The holidays are the perfect time to wear that sequin, sparkly dress or go plain with a bold color such as this beautiful red dress. Last year I opted for a plaid dress which incorporated both red and green (blog post HERE). As I’m in my final weeks pregnancy this year I opted for this green maternity midi sweater dress and love how it fit! These were taken on one of my favorite streets in Philadelphia, 1700 Block of Addison street as its trees stay strewn in white lights all year long!

Pleated Plaid Dress: JCrew / Booties: Steve Madden
Tights: Spanx / Earrings: Ann Taylor

The countdown to Christmas is in full swing! As this time of year is such a busy one from office parties, events to getting together with family, it’s so much easier to get ahead of the game by planning outfits in advance! This pretty plaid dress from JCrew is the perfect midi length and has a beautiful pleated skirt. This dress (along with so many others) is currently 48% off with code “FLASH48”.

We also took our Holiday card photos last weekend (shout out to my brother helping us out - check out his Instagram page). This beautiful street near Rittenhouse Square has to be one of my favorite streets in Philadelphia. It’s lined with lights all year round but during the holiday months this street looks even more magical! We ordered our cards through Simply To Impress and had a great ordering and delivery experience with them! They are currently having 25% off + Free Shipping with code 19WISHES. This post isn’t sponsored in any way but this is the second year we have used them and I just wanted to share my positive experience!

Happy Christmas Eve! My husband and I are at my parents home in Connecticut and we woke up to snowfall outside! I just love this time of year to be with family and friends, sitting next to the fire, drinking hot chocolate and eating loads and loads of yummy foods. And of course the icing on the cake is being out of the office and the amazing shopping deals - just some other amazing benefits!

For those of you looking for a last minute outfit to wear today or tomorrow for Christmas, I wanted to share with you all my outfit for Christmas Eve! I just love this red midi dress by H&M (under $20!). Christmas is the perfect time of year to dress in color (red or green) and to put away that little black dress! I love the length of the dress and how beautiful the material looks. Some of my other favorites are this one and this one.
