Hey ladies! Before the ball drops and we welcome a new year, have you thought about what you need to glam it up for the holiday parties? I know. I know. You've probably put it on the back burner because of all of the other things you need to get done before the holidays. With the stress of holiday decorating, baking, shopping, etc., you probably won't think about looking your best until the day before your holiday office party or a new year's gala party. Well, I have good news! You don't have to worry about your lips, skin, hair, or even the scent you'll be wearing, because BabbleBoxx has taken care of all that for you.

Easy, Fun & Festive Holiday Ideas!

There's something truly magical about the Holiday Season! I still get giddy like a child when we put up the tree and turn the lights on for the very first time. Then there are the beautiful decorations! Ahhh.... Relaxing by the fire with a decorated mantel, sipping a cup of hot cocoa and writing greeting cards to friends and relatives. It's the perfect way to spend the evening. 

Before we start getting too comfy and cozy, let's get some budget-friendly decorating and shopping done first! If you make your decorating and holiday shopping a priority, you will avoid all the hustle and bustle later. 

We've rounded up some fun and festive decorating and gift giving ideas that won't break the bank! Let's start with decorative tissue paper flowers! This is the first time I've made tissue paper poms and I love them! They are so easy to make and I've found many wonderful ways to use them throughout the house. 

The paper flowers look adorable strung together with ribbon on the mantel. I can't wait to unpack all the holiday ornaments & candles and add it to this festive decor! 

Style Report: Wearing Green on St. Patty's Day!

With St. Patrick's Day coming up on Tuesday, I thought I would share an inspiration board to celebrate St. Patty's Day in style!  I already know what some of you are thinking...You don't like wearing green. Well, if you are not a fan of green, look for one green piece that can be worn long after the holiday passes. Green denim jeans can be worn all year long when paired with seasonal colors: pastels in summer, golden tones in fall, and over-sized ivory sweaters in winter.

Add a leopard accessory such as a scarf, belt, or shoes to kick it up a notch and make your outfit pop! There are plenty of fashion faux pas outfits out there on St. Patty's Day. Make sure you are not the person who is dressed like a leprechaun in a green ensemble from head to toe. Soften your St. Patty's Day look by wearing white or a bright colored shirt with green denim. A black blazer with a green shirt, a pastel pink ensemble with green accessories, or a leopard print scarf with a green blouse or denim pants creates a fashionable and festive ensemble that is not overdone. Green and nude are two colors I adore! 

What about you? Are you a fan of green? With a little planning, you may discover you enjoy adding a green item to your wardrobe. 

WILL YOU BE WEARING GREEN ON

 ST. PATTY'S DAY?

New Year's Eve Inspiration!

Do the Holidays seem to sneak up on you every year? I didn't even realize until this morning that New Year's Eve is only days away! It's time to start planning what I'll be wearing this New Year's, especially since I will be shopping the after-Christmas sales and may need jewelry or a new clutch! 

This year, I would like to break away from the traditional black dress and try a bright color. What do you think of this pretty blue Halston Heritage dress? 

Do you have a New Year's outfit ready? What are you planning to wear?

One of my absolute favorites from the collection is the "Keepsakes - Smoky Eyes" Eyeshadow Palette ($39.50) Isn't it beyond gorgeous with its cameo-inspired case?

The Cameo Keepsake Smoky Palette also comes in an expanded version for the face! It includes three Eyeshadows, one Iridescent Pressed Powder, a Cream Color Base and two Lipsticks in an elegant range of sultry hues to keep you looking simply divine both day and night. I know, jaw dropping beautiful!

I'm also loving the Keepsakes Limited Edition Studio Brush Kit, which gives you near endless options for the perfect photo-ready finish. Is it obvious that I gravitate toward white?
