Style Post:Holiday Glam!

Tis the season 

for holiday parties,

special date nights,

performances and 

family get togethers.

The time we spend

dressing up and going out

is at an all time high

the month of December.

For some,

there is delight in the wardrobe

changes and excuses to get all dolled up.

For others, it can be daunting

coming up with a new outfit

or look for every occasion.

Thankfully Kenna

is here to help us!

She was kind enough to 

guest post on Just An Ordinary Family

and give us a make up tutorial

to put together a beautiful, simple 

holiday look for whatever occasion you

are attending.

What I love about 

the look Kenna has put together

for us is that its not overly done up.

It is simple, yet classy and glamorous.

Perfect for date night and a family reunion.

Watch Kenna below to see how she does it! 

Below are a list of the products Kenna used,

with the link on where to find it.

Style Inspiration: Christmas Home Decor

The time is upon us,

I can officially decorate free of judgement.

I think all the holidays have passed 

that place strict regulations 

on when it is socially acceptable to 

dig out my Christmas bins and throw tinsel

around the house.

We still have little people in our home

that like to walk around with

decorations.

So for now,

the breakables go up high

and the plastic and wood stays low. 

We only lost one tealight holder

to the fall this year.

Our tree is a big and beautiful one

that was passed down to us from my parents

who replaced their tree for a smaller version.

It is lovely,

it is full and it is large.

The decorations that adorn it

are eclectic, to say the least.

Some Baby's First Christmas

from both my husband, our kids and myself.

Some vintage crafts circa the early 1990's

that our mothers passed along to us.

We also have some beautiful pieces,

the ones that only Mommy handles and go out of reach.

There are some pieces

that hold dear memories for Spencer and I.

His, a small golden fire truck he 

picked out with his grandmother as a child.

Mine, a small porcelain puppy with a red handkerchief

that I hung on our tree as a small child.

In the evening,

I love to sit and look

at the glowing tree and think about

all the memories that go along with each ornament.

Our tree would not be displayed in a department store,

but to me it is most beautiful.

For now I save the gorgeous,

glamorous Christmas decorations for my Pinterest boards!

Here is some holiday inspiration

that I simply love.
