Can you believe that Thanksgiving has already come and gone? I have always been one of those people that won’t let myself put up the tree or turn on the holiday music until after Thanksgiving. I guess it’s ok now!

If the holiday cheer hasn’t hit you yet you are in luck because today I have teamed up with  Reiss to talk about what the holidays mean to me! See below for a fun Q&A!

  1. Where will you be spending Christmas and with who? This year we plan to be in Dallas (my hometown) with my family.
  2. How will you be spending Christmas Day? What are the highlights? Not sure the exact plan but my favorite thing about our Christmas morning is waking up, having breakfast in bed with the puppies (Banks & Harry) and then either hosting dinner at our home or going to my mothers.
  3. What are the top three things on your wish list this year? Hmm, I feel like I have a never ending wish list but if I have to name just three it would be another bottle of perfume, a new pair of runners (you can never have too many) and a new clarisonic!
  4. What’s the best present you have ever received? My watch. It was an engagement/christmas present from my husband (fiancé at the time). It’s a beautiful timepiece that I hardly ever take off!
  5. You favorite Christmas tradition? Christmas Eve dinner at my grandmothers house. We have been doing this for as long as I can remember and it’s my favorite night of the whole holiday season.
  6. Your fondest christmas memory? I would say every memory of Christmas when I was little when my sisters and I would sit at the top of the stairs and wait for our parents to wake up so we could see what Santa Claus had put under the tree!
  7. How best would you describe your winter wardrobe? What are the essentials? Feminine with a {teeny tiny} little edge. My essentials are a leather jacket, a pointed toe pump, a great pair of jeans, a white blouse and a little black dress.
  8. Which AW14 trends are you currently sporting? I am loving the colors this season. Green and gray are two of my favorites so I am loving that those hues are huge this season!
  9. Talk us through your Reiss outfit choice. Lately I have been a big fan of the jumpsuit. I think it is a chic way to get dressed in a hurry. To add a little edge I decided to pair it with a leather jacket. Of course you can’t go wrong with a black shoe and a red clutch for a little pop of color!
  10. What are your favorite hotspots around Dallas during the holidays? Although I love Dallas year round the city gets so much more magical during the holidays. Dallas goes all out with their holiday decor. From the store windows at the Neiman Marcus flagship, the way that Klyde Warren Park glows or the lights that fill Highland Park Village, Dallas is so special during the next month!

I hope you all enjoyed getting to know me a little better! Have a great weekend. xx
