What to Wear to a Holiday Party

Working in retail has definitely forced me into a holiday mood this year.  Every day I arrive at the mall to the sound of Christmas music and the bustle of busy shoppers.  I join the impossible quest to find a parking space and assist customers in finding that perfect gift they're looking for.

I've finished most of my own Christmas shopping now.  What I haven't done in a long time is shop for myself!  I have a few holiday parties and get-togethers coming up, but I haven't got a thing to wear.  I'm looking into my closet and not getting any inspiration.

So I got inspired!  Here's a few festive outfits I'm liking this season.

Topshop dress, Topshop shoes, Nixon watch, Modcloth headband, Chanel lipstick in Gabrielle

 Billabong dress, Jeffrey Campbell shoes, Aldo bag, Aldo necklace, Topshop ring

 Topshop sweater, Topshop jeans, Matiko shoes, Topshop bow, MAC lipstick in Odyssey


'Tis the season of giving, & my wallet's looking pretty empty...so for now I guess these dream outfits will have to wait!

So sorry for the super long hiatus!  My last blog post from October 1st marked the first day of my new job at Billabong.  Since then I've totally thrown myself head-first into my work and I haven't really had time for much else.  

I've been on such a high from making new friends and loving my job but the truth is, I've also had a few of the roughest months of my life.  I've been so down that blogging and doing a lot of the things that I love have been the last things on my mind.  I've been very slowly picking up the pieces and starting to feel like myself again.

One of the things that helped to get me moving again is the exciting news that I'm being swept off to NYC to work on social media for Billabong.  I'm going to have the amazing opportunity to visit all of Billabong's NYC locations to tweet, Instagram, and Facebook my brains out.  This is such a huge step towards the career of my dreams and I can't believe it's happened so quickly.  I'm so excited to be able to share a brand I love with the world and connect with fans around NYC.

Here's a little peek into my life at Billabong so far.  Follow me on Twitter & Instagram @BillabongNYC to stay updated on where I'm at and what I'm doing!

Of course, I'll still be working with my home crew at Billabong Roosevelt Field!

This blog isn't dead, I promise you that.  I'm working on some new content & I'll be back soon, better than ever!
