Moody Style: Holiday Sweaters with Loft

This post was created in partnership with LOFT this holiday season and I was gifted some of the items below in exchange for a feature.  

That being said, all opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting this brand collaboration! {Photo Credit: Angelica Pompy} 

I can't believe Christmas is in 2 days and I'm looking forward to spending time with my family.  I'm heading to my mom's house tomorrow afternoon and I can't wait for all of our fun family traditions of watching Christmas movies, baking cookies and getting dressed up for church.  Do you have any holiday traditions that you can't wait get started this year with your family?

The Best Holiday Sweater Options  

 If you’re still looking for holiday sweaters that are cute & festive, but aren't too wacky, then don't worry I’ve got you covered! Lately my calendar has been filled with fun holiday events and nothing else puts me in the holiday spirit like a cute holiday sweater.  This Reindeer Sweater that I'm wearing from LOFT will be on repeat this holiday season and I'm obsessed with it.  I paired it with these skinny jeans, but it would also be cute with these red skinny split waist pants or these modern velvet ankle sip skinny jeans.  Another alternative look is to pair this sweater with this faux suede shift skirt and or this faux leather zip pocket pencil skirt.  This sweater is super cute and runs true to size! If you aren't into a reindeer theme, then check out a few more cute holiday sweaters from LOFT that are perfect for the rest of the holiday/winter season.

Holiday Gift Guide: Gifts for the Beauty Lover

**CLICK ANY IMAGE TO SHOP THE ITEM DIRECTLY**

Beauty products are some of my favorite gifts to give and receive during the holidays. I mean what girl doesn’t love to play with beauty products. As I’ve gotten older, I definitely have been experimenting with beauty items more than ever before. I’m always up for trying out a new product or having fun with my beauty/skin/hair routine. Here are a few of my favorite beauty gifts for the holidays:

Quality makeup brushes are truly a luxury item for a beginner makeup artist.  So if have a budding makeup lover to shop for this holiday season, then this set would make an amazing gift. And you can also pick this cute set to make sure the brushes stay nice and clean.

This body scrub smells beautiful and will make your skin feel so soft and hydrated.  

I love all of the skincare sets that come out around the holidays. These sets are perfect to experiment with to figure out what you like. If you were ever curious about Drunk Elephant products, then try out The Littles.  It's the best way to check out most of the collection and it would make a nice gift too.

And lately I’ve accumulated quite the eyeshadow collection and I have a few favorites palettes like this one and this one that I think would make a perfect gift for any makeup lover.

Anyways, check out my beauty gift ideas below and let me know some of your favorite beauty pieces.

Holiday Gift Guide: Gifts for the Comfort Seeker

**CLICK ANY IMAGE TO SHOP THE ITEM DIRECTLY**

I wasn't sure if I was going to post any gift guides this year, but I found some time to get a few of them done. I know that Christmas is a little over 2 weeks away, so you can consider this a guide for the last minute shopper.  I really tried hard to be more organized and get most of my shopping done early, but I definitely procrastinated this year.  And now I'm stuck trying to find the perfect gift at the very last minute.  

Anyways, my first gift guide for the season is for the comfort seeker.  This guide is perfect for anyone that you know who is a homebody or loves feeling cozy.  I just ordered this pom pom blanket for a gift for a new homeowner and this coffee/tea warmer for myself. And these monogram mugs are my go-to gifts every single year.  I just pop a Starbucks gift card inside or some Hershey's kisses and I'm all set.  Needless to say, I think all of these ideas would make a fabulous gift for any lady in your life.  Check out the post below and let me know what are some of your favorite comfy items that you can't live without!
