holiday dressing

November 26, 2017 by Brittany Emery

Cassidy and I hosted Thanksgiving for the first time this year in our new house. It took a lot of planning, cleaning, and preparation, but it was such a wonderful time, and we both would absolutely do it all over again. It was incredibly special to have my entire family under one roof, our roof, and get to make memories in our new house. Cassidy also successfully cooked not one, but two turkeys, as you might have seen if you were following along on my Insta stories. He cooked one traditionally in the oven, but his "just for kicks" attempt at smoking one on the grill was quite the hit. I think he may have found his place in the family food preparation, not that any of us were concerned that would be an issue.

We also got to watch my dad's football game altogether and see another playoff win! All in all, it has been an incredibly fantastic weekend, and I'm not quite ready to head back to reality. The crazy part is this is just a kickoff to an incredibly busy month ahead of us!

I felt like this evening look from our New York trip would be the perfect kick off for holiday dressing. I was obsessed with this dress as soon as I saw it. The dramatic sleeves are right on trend, and the high neck and shift silhouette are not only flattering, but paired with the print give a notable nod to the 60s. The neckline detailing really elevates the piece.

Keeping in tune with the feminine vibes, I added a Victorian inspired boot and a pink velvet clutch. Velvet is also a top trend for the holiday season, and added the perfect texture. I am obsessed with these statement fringe earrings and the wine color seems to complement everything, so be prepared to see more of these!

I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday! xo

For a recent date night, I was so in the mood to dress in a more Fall look, but the temperatures hadn't quite caught up yet. Now that we've had a taste of the cooler weather, I'm definitely not quite ready for the winter to come. I have lived in the midwest long enough to know it's all downhill from here and it will be awhile before we see those sunny days reappear. The solution: I took an all white look after Labor Day, and added one lightweight layering piece with a hint of jewel tone for the perfect Fall complement. I'm not ready to bust out all my winter coats just yet!

Hello, friend. I'm so thrilled you've decided to join me on this journey.

I knew when I started my former blog, there was potential for it to have an expiration date, as it was generated around my maiden name. While I loved growing and developing a passion through that site, I'm looking forward to being able to share more lifestyle, home, and travel, as well as continuing a focus on fashion. My life has evolved, and it felt like it was time for my space to blossom too.

I am beyond thankful for the love and support of my husband, and would not be able to produce quality content without his commitment to encouraging me toward success. He is my absolute best friend, and sharing life with him is beyond a fairytale. We love that we will be able to share more of our journey together as we live happily Ever After Emery.
