Hi lovelies,

This past weekend I did a deep dive clean of my apartment in preparation of packing for going back home for the holidays. I couldn't muster up the strength to pack until everything else was in order. Are you guys the same way? Can't get into your groove until everything is clean and tidy? I just feel better and more settled. Then I light a few candles, relax, and then get to work. 

I'm heading home on the 17th to Atlanta (my home-away-from-home) since my family relocated from Syracuse a few years back. However, I have to admit that our country home has grown on me and it's a beautiful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

This means I have to pack pretty dresses, shoes, tops, bottoms, and accessories, for all of the holiday parties that I'll be attending while home. And of course, I need to be picture perfect, but comfy and cool, when snapping photos with the fam and creating memories that will last a lifetime. 

Luckily for me, I have the Kayla dress by Prêt à Porter Designs in reversible herringbone body to wear to my winter soirees with family and friends. 

Check out how I style my Kayla dress for the holidays:

• Kayla dress by Prêt à Porter Designs in reversible herringbone body ($110)
• Black tights
• Carmel wedges 
• Skinny vintage belt in deep burgundy 
• Buddha to Buddha Lars Bracelet ($472)
