White Christmas

Yesterday I watched a Christmas movie classic for the first time: White Christmas. It was a beautiful movie filled with amazing fashion. I loved the women's A-line skirts with a belt emphasizing their small waists. Vera-Ellen was my favorite actress in the film. Have you seen the movie? It's where Bing Cosby's "White Chrsitmas song originated.

Merry Christmas!

Today is Christmas Day!! Merry Christmas and Wesolych Swait!! I truly enjoyed spending time with my family yesterday and today. On Christmas Eve, we ate a delicious Polish meal called Wigilia at my grandparents' house when the first star was out. We ate, laughed, received our presents and then went to midnight mass. I wore a red dress with my pearl chain necklace, black tights and my black bow heels.

On Christmas Day, we opened our stockings, went to mass and our family came over to our house for a Christmas Day meal, followed with popcorn and Christmas movies. I wore my new navy lace dress with a big black bow, silver chandelier earrings and a black cardigan.  It was a white Christmas filled with absolute happiness. I hope you enjoyed yours as well!

Paris Outfit

I spotted this chic outfit in one of my blogs. It was shot with a sunrise in Paris and the outfit is my kind of style. The model is wearing a black Alice and Olivia top, purple Tibi skirt, Karen Walker sunglasses and black Prada Mary-Jane pumps. I also love the model's hair style. I want to learn how to style more up-do's. I would pair this outfit with glitter eye shadow for a festive, holiday look. 
What will you be wearing this Christmas? As a Polish tradition, my family will celebrate Wigilia on Christmas Eve at my grandparents' house and Christmas Day will be celebrated at my house this year. Christmas outfits will be posted. Merry Christmas!!

Love,
Olivia <3

2013 Mashup

So I have been doing a lot of my Christmas shopping and writing my Christmas cards. I can't believe Christmas is almost here and it's almost the end of the year! Here are two recap videos of 2013 songs. I love songs that remind me of the memories that year. Which one do you like better? I think I'm leaning towards Pop Danthology. It has more of my favorite songs of the year. ;)

Love,

TBOX 2013!

Yesterday I went to Twelve Bars of Christmas (TBOX) in Chicago! It is a bar crawl where everyone dresses up in Christmas outfits. The snow was falling all day and it just made the event more festive! The outfits were amazing and I had a lot of fun. I wore a naughty/nice Santa hat with a black BCBG top, Santa skirt and black heeled boots. It was my first time going and I definitely plan on going again next year. :)

Love,

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show !!

Yesterday, I attended the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Viewing Party hosted by the Water Tower Place in Chicago. It was a blast with my friend, Mary Claire. VS Model Elsa Hosk celebrated with us as we watched the fashion show together. She answered some questions for us and was very sweet. We got popcorn and candy for showtime and received PINK dogs as well. I'm happy that I got a chance to meet Elsa and see the "sexiest night on television!"

Love,
Olivia <3

Elsa and all of us!

Ballet Slippers

I'm always inspired by anything ballet-related. I actually found some "ballet slippers" that would go perfect with the bag that I want. These petal pink leather heels have a gold bow and are made in Italy. The heels could easily make my black and white outfit for work a little more me. Are you a shoe gal like Carrie Bradshaw in "Sex and the City?"

Love,
Olivia

Oh Christmas Tree

Today on my day off, I watched two Christmas movies: Four Christmases and Fred Claus. I also decorated the tree at my Grandparents' house with my cousin, Natalia. It was definitely a yoga pants and Christmas socks kind of day. Sorry that I haven't been posting my regular fashion posts. I've been in the Christmas mood lately. On a fashion note; there are not a lot of shoppers at my store and it is really surprising to me since it's that time of year for wish lists. I haven't started my holiday shopping yet, but I am getting ideas of what to get my family and friends. This year, I even had a hard time making my own wishlist. I might post it on here. Stay happy this time of year. :)

Love,
Olivia <3

"No Baggage Please"

Today I ran a few errands and finally bought some new nail polish. I ran out of my favorite Essie nail polish, "No Baggage Please" and found the last 2 in the store. I have been using the same bottle since August, so I wasn't sure if Ulta had any left in stock. Luckily, I found the last 2! It is a perfect pastel pink that is simply me and works great for work, as well. I also went to Victoria's Secret today and got a PINK dog with my purchase. It's my second one. :) The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show will be aired December 10 and I watch it every year. This year, The Water Tower Place in Chicago will be hosting a viewing party for the fashion show and I plan on attending it. I can't wait to see downtown Chicago at Christmastime. Happy Holidays!!

Love,
Olivia <3

Advent Begins!

Today marks the first day of December and Advent. My favorite time of year! I plan on watching a Christmas movie every day until Christmas. Just like having a chocolate a day in my Advent Calendar. Today I watched A Christmas Story and my chocolate was a train.
