Christmas Outfit + Hair Inspiration

I absolutely love Christmas.  It's my favorite holiday and I look forward to it each year.  My family had so many little traditions (and even some new ones) that always make the holidays feel well.. like the holidays.  My family is part Hungarian and we make this Hungarian dish called Halupki.  Halupki is basically meatloaf stuffed into cooked cabbage.  Okay, I know what you're thinking... it sounds disgusting, but I promise it's delicious!  We also decided to build a gingerbread house (thanks to Starbucks) and we open one small gift on Christams Eve.  I love the traidtions my family has and I'm so excited to open presents, drink a hot chai, see my famil, and of course.. eat .. a TON... of FOOD!  With that being said I wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and give my gift to you: a Fashion + Beauty blog post!

I am totally that person who will wear ugly Christmas sweaters, reindeer antlers, and of course.. plaid pants.  I found these bad boys in JcPenny's a couple years ago and their made my fave twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.  I have been wanting to wear these for the longest time but could never find the right combination to pair it with.  I finally did it though!  I paired it together with my favorite cream knit sweater and this darling red velvet choker I got at Charming Charlies.  How festive and adorable is my Christmas outfit!

For my makeup I did something I never, and I mean never do.  I went for a bold red lip.  I mean it is Christmas afterall.  I kepy my foundation and eye makeup simple with a gold nude on the eyelids.  I wanted my lipstick to really stand out.  I used a lipstick I've had for a while from NARS.  I'm not used to seeing myself in such a bold color, but I liked it!

For my hair I kept it super simple.  I love just straightening my hair and letting it fall where it may.  However, since I'm rushing from place to place, unwrapping and wrapping some more, I need to just throw my hair out of my face sometimes.  So I threw half of it into a high pony tail.  This hair style totally reminds me of the eighties hair styles I see in my mom's high school pictures, but I love it.  Just remember to keep poofing your high ponytail or else it will lay flat.

Also, shout out to my amazing boyfriend for sending me flowers for Christmas!

I love seeing what everyone wears for Christmas.  I think it's such a fun time to try something new and really show off your style.  What are you wearing for Christmas?
